Tank costs
Thanks guys
I really didn't think tanks cost in the $7/8 million dollar range with spares, training, and other goodies, what an investment! In theory you could have $8 million dollar kick ass tank and have poorly trained crews and still get popped by a $2 million dollar T-72. You guys who do this for real unlike myself it really rings true you fight like you train. It must be very difficult training against other well trained crews I'm sure only seconds tell them apart. I'm trying to think about if any western trained tank battles ever took place or two well trained sides. In the 73 wars I thought I Israeli's were better shots and better trained overall. Did Turkey and Greece ever have any tank battle they both seem to have modern tanks and both are NATO trained? I know there were a few air battles but were there ground battles? Can somebody tell what were the two most modern tanks that ever went against each other?
