US intelligence services estimate IS and other Islamist groups has recruited 20,000 foreign fighters, including westerners

US intelligence services estimated that Islamic State and other Islamist groups in Syria and Iraq has recruited at least 20,000 foreign fighters, including 3,500 westerners and 150 US citizens. This includes those who have intercepted or failed to actually get into Syria and Iraq. The actual status of the foreign fighters in Syria are currently unknown, it is probably some are already killed in the battles there, but intelligence agencies cannot absolutely confirm their status. It is feared some have falsified their deaths and are using 'clean' identities to return to their home countries for bombings and terror campaigns.

"This is a tremendous estimate" said a US intelligence official, adding "The number of foreign fighters in this conflict is greater than 1980s Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Somalia all put together"

the way they wear the uniform, the way they hold the gun, makes me very skeptical if they really is IS/ISIL, i mean, the real Islamic rebel group in syria

The added armor is so thick making the leopard 2 looks like big box with cannon.

Can PT91 defeat this well protected boxy leo2? Leo2 has better engine, speed, mobility, visual, firepower, fire control system and armor. Pt91 would have to fire few rounds to destroy leo2.

You ignore tanks capabilities means you're ignorant & putting your troops in danger. If 2 warring states generals have similar level skills and strategies, the better tank would win. If general A commands Abrams tank platoon vs general B who commands t72 tank platoon. The abram has better armour, long range accuracy and warhead penetration. If you're general B, you think your platoon will survive?

if me, i'll be more happy like this (& this is if the battle were in our soil);


General A have Abram platoons, lots of it

General B have a several companies of trooper comprises of gunner & rocketeer (let say RPG29), 1 small team of commandoes that gets behind enemy line who will not just have sniper & spotter but also bringing along laser target designator (hornet waiting for them), several Kornet-E/Bhaktar Shikan mounted G-wagons, a few astross standing by far from battlefield, & Adnans with troops inside as the last sweeper

PT-91M? sorry, they're not interested in this abram-suicidal fiesta..there's other battlefield thats suits them more

like i said befur..only stupid general will fight tanks vs tanks head on

What makes you think general A doesn't have IFV, troops and air support behind his abrams? Check some of the war, the mbts are usually on front line be it open field battle or urban warfare. In Iraq, abrams leading the assault before making way for troops, hummers, ifv through. Same goes to Chechnya war.

Whatever you said, you think your enemy won't do the same? They won't be stupid enough to advance blindly with all their vehicles moving in straight line waiting for you to destroy first and last vehicle trapping the rest for you to finish off.

why we must think situation & environment in our soil will be as same as situation & environment in Iraq..??? for me, we cant take every details in Iraq to compare with what we have here, on our own ground..Iraq is a land vast with plain flat desert, which is a very good advantage to send tanks as a the main assault team..& this is also why Iraq have 5000+ tanks (sadly most of them cant be used plus its a monkey assad babil model of basic T72 tank btw) standing by

while in Afghanistan, abrams are not the main assault team..afghanistan are not like Iraq..too many hills & mountains, too many hidden places, not a good advantage for tanks..same goes to vietnam, also not a good place to let tanks lead any assult

btw, for chenchen war;

QUOTE
Troops up front. That initial assault on Grozny in 1994 was the world’s largest urban tank battle since the Red Army entered Berlin, nearly fifty years before.[23] It was a debacle: Chechens with RPG launchers disabled the first and last tank in a column, then killed or maimed the survivors at leisure. A US Marines study estimated that the leading armoured brigade lost 80 percent of its men, 77 percent of its tanks, and 85 percent of its troop carriers in three days’ fighting. Anatol Lieven spent a week in Grozny in February 1995: ‘only once did I see Russian soldiers on foot patrol…. The rest clung to their armoured vehicles with limpet-like strength’.[24] 

Chenchen war sos

u see..its not a battle of tanks vs tanks..yes of cos its about the weakness of T-72, but the most important thing is u must not rely too much on tanks vs tanks..yes PT-92M is inferior to abrams, leopard & other western tanks, but the most important thing is how the tanks suits ur doctrine & ur strategy..

for me, it would be better to choose a tank that is not too heavy, high-mobility & maneuverability, fast, easy maintenance & logistic support, have lower height than other modern mbt (actually T-90 would be better, but T-91M also ok la), & most important thing, can fire any modern shell (DU, KE whatever shit) effectively & accurately, while on static or while moving..other than that, wont mind to compromise here & there la

Abrams out of fuel, the apache & cobra took over protecting the platoons & brigade. A-10s will be called to attack iraqi tank column when spotted large enemy forces. Sometimes with hornets, falcons, harriers too taking out high threat targets in simultaneous attacks.

that is after u've successfully secured the airspace..things will be very different if the enemy still hold the airspace

for the bold parts, i think that's why Sing and Indo chose Leopard. They have an excellent Weight to power output ratio and their maintenance is easy to be done. As an example you can change and replace the block engine of Leopard in less than an hour meanwhile you need at least 8 hour to replace the block engine in T-72 series.

for that we have to ask those who knows well bout PT-91M as it use a whole different powerpack even compare to original polish PT-91

Conformal fuel tank, Dorsal spine, I say it's a good bargain. Since US intended to stop production in US, maybe we can persuade them to transfer the tooling to our backyard.

tranfer to our shore? US? very very unlikely

whatever in US, stays in US - that will be their sacred motto
