Honestly why did even make this vehicle. I mean really. I'd rather have had an SA-6. Or better an SA-11 or SA-15. The first time I saw the TT Straight Flush in a blister pack for sale I definitely did a double take. I just use mine as a generic air defense radar.

While China has enormous manpower and materiel reserves, I sincerely doubt they pose any real threat to the US. While they do have some relatively modern equipment, the quantity they possess it in is rather small. Also, they lack the force multipliers (AWACS, J-STARS, refueling planes) that give US forces an advantage and also lack any real power projection capability on the seas. P And as for an M1 versus a T-72, I'd actually say it's more like 1 Abrams is worth 8 T-72s. The ratio would shrink if you were talking about T-72s from a GSFG Guards unit in the '80s but that's a different story. As for China's tanks, they are pretty much all inferior to any contemporary western tank, and the bulk of their holdings and reserves are almost antiques, inferior even to a first generation T-72. As for the technology gap, they are closing it by a little bit, but keep in mind that for every new weapon system the US rolls out, there's one in the works that is a generation/generation and a half ahead of it.
