I used to be a tank Platoon leader. Iraqi Army lent these to Hezbollah since Iran is the puppetmaster in Iraq. Good thing that lack of maintenance eventually makes these tanks junk in short order!!!

Stephen I am not a tanker, I dont know much about them other than I like them and they are badass. However, I am not sure we should give them anything. It is reassuring to read your remarks about maintenance haha

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Chip maybe the case however, with AC when you do the bubble gum and paper clip repair they could just fall out of the sky

You are right, the F-14 as well is still flying and they have remanufactured the F4 Phantom. They probably have to go to Kuwait to get the maintenance training. People have told me here on rallypoint. The maintenance manuals are classified. Just hope that maintenance section gets killed off fighting Isis, then the tanks will be junk!!!

Ingenuity keeps Iran’s Vietnam-war-era planes flying in fight against Isis
Sanctions-hit state smuggles plane parts and cannibalises civil aircraft to keep old fighter jets airworthy

We don't give anyone our most up to date stuff and even if we did, we did the R&D so we know how to kill it easily.
