Since you spoke about IEDs, which didn't appear (other than worthless SVBIEDs and S-IEDS) essentially until the summer of 2003, my assumption is that you are talking about the latter. |
I guess I have a certain scenario that that is going on, and that of a conventional war between Soviet and US forces. The period I am only considering, is the initial beginning of the war in Iraq. I was also trying to point out that there are other factors involved...that the Soviets would have in such a war but the Iraqi's didn't have, i.e. Kornets. In a head to head fight, I think in a ground war the Abrams would undoubtedly have the advantage. However, we would suffer far more casualties due to other variables, but still the Abrams is a vastly superior tank over T-72/T-80s.
