Justin O'Brien television news story on Darwin First Armoured Regiment soldiers trainning in California with United States Marines. Various shots of living firing as the Aussie tank crews attack a mock Iraqi City with the Us troops on foot. Story ran in Darwin's Channel Nine News.
WOW there are some real tards on this making completely ill informed commentary... As long as a platform reaches a certain standard it doesn't matter what it is. It is the military as a system which determines combat effectiveness. So tank X vs tank Y commentary is stupid. The Abrams fits better than other tanks into the "ausmilitaries system". The turbines engine provides the abrams with versatility as it can use any fuel type...

Anyone who says this is a piece of shit is an armchair general. When this tank is saving your ass you would be changing your tone! But go ahead, go and bitch about it just because you dont like using it in your VIDEO GAMES!

@AustralianPyro I think it was more about Howard and the rest of his suck ups in buying this gas guzzler. We should have bought the Leopard 2.

Those gas turbines in the Abrams will be very expensive for the ADF to maintain.
