A T-72 once was a significant threat .. back in 1972. Now it's about two generations behind the times. Moreover, the Soviet Defense Ministry actually made shoddy versions of T-72 to sell to the Arabs, to boot

The T-72 was developed by 1973 and accepted by the Red Army by 1975. First seen in the West in 1977, the tank formed the backbone of the Russian and Warsaw Pact armored forces and there are still roughly 18,000 of them spread out all over the world with former and current FSU client states. The Russian version with 125mm main gun was the first fitted with reactive armor and used RHA with laminate armor up front and reactive bolt ons. The engine has been upgraded to around 900 hp for 45 tons, so it has good speed and has back up 12.7mm MG as well as ability to fire AT-11 missiles through the main gun. Crew of 3 with autoloader and low silhouette. Led to the T-90 which has been heavily upgraded to fight helos and even attack aircraft!!! But the Syrian export version is less sophisticated with very little upgrades to the powerpack and fire control systems. Who knows if they even have spare parts now!!! The Merkava of any Mark will kill the T-72 at ranges of 4-5000m easily and is very advanced with the Mark IIIs through the new V. The only weakness the Merkava has is that it is tailored for ME open range and urban fighting and not suitable for European to Russian and Asian battlefields. It would easily be taken out by the Leo IIA-5 through A-7, Challenger 2, LeClerc, and M1A2++ as well as Russian T-80s and 90s with dazzlers and more powerful missiles, active armor, EO systems, and on very rough terrain against Reds with ATGWs. But out in the open on its turf or nearby it can kill decisively. The few lost to Hezbollah buried mines are now protected by belly armor and also reinforced roof armor against new top-attack missiles. At 67 tons it is approaching the WW2 King Tiger for weight but has more hp- almost 1600! Merkava uses RHA, laminate, modular, and both passive and active armor systems. It is one of the few world tanks that can fire at a helo.

What the hell does all this stuff about tanks have to do with parody? Nuts to this site.

My way of making fun of the Syrians. Parodies DO NOT have to be humorous all the time. Any variant of the OS can be also witty, sarcastic, political, morbid, perverse, etc... still qualifies. And taking a children's song and converting it over to Milspeak makes it funny IMHO. Too bad you don't understand the tech nor the acronyms. That's your problem- Vet...

Rob, my boy, t'anks for the memories ;-)
