If you read that book along with John Cooley's "Unholy Wars", the picture clears.

I've taken up the Bear Trap ahead of other unread books on my shelf, so with that mind, a few inane questions...
Really? Can you elaborate on that?Originally posted by troung
Because of the Abrams demostration or more directly?Originally posted by troung
In what context are you referring to here?Originally posted by troung
Speaking of the Pakistan Abrams trial, does anybody know anything more about it?
He only mentions that the United States was very keen to sell it to Pakistan and that it failed the firing trials miserably.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”Comment

TH,
Foreign equipment fails because they are not tropicalised.
Stinger is a hypothesis that he stated was rife in Pakistan.

That's odd...I was under the impression that US equipment was designed and built with all climates in mind.Originally posted by Ray
Before and during Desert Shield there must have been a serious crash program to get American gear up to speed in a hot dusty environment.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.

No.
They have to be tropicalised.
The failure rate of US equipment is very high in our climes compared to the Russian equipment, because the US equipment is highly sophisticated and mostly based on fragile and sensitive electronics.
Hence the preference for Russian equipment, apart from the cost.

Well maybe if you people would turn on the A/C once in a while, we wouldn't have these problems, would we?Originally posted by Ray
Seriously though, what's involved in tropicalizing a tank for example? Thicker lubricants, particulate filtering etc?Originally posted by Ray“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.

better electronics with a response range in a wider range of temperatureOriginally posted by TopHatterWell maybe if you people would turn on the A/C once in a while, we wouldn't have these problems, would we?
