I'm a bit curious, how, in any metric is the T-72 superior to any version of the Abrams?

Price?

Touché

The ship thing is an easy mistake to make.  How many of you would actually be able to spot that mistake on your own?  It's not like with tanks, where most lay people would know that a T-72 tank is not Abrams, even if they wouldn't understand why T-72 is superior.

See my above post.

I'm confused. I know the ships were russian and not american. I just want to hear from the Uke how the T-72 is superior in any way to any version of the Abrams as he claims.

It's not, it's a joke, On SirHockey, from 2003.

ah, oh... meh... I thought the claim was that the T-80 and T-90 were better than the Abrams?

Most old Soviet tanks have a hitch on the front so they can be towed into battle by teams of oxen.  Western Tanks lack this capability.

Much in the same way that if I buy liquor at 6th and 8th, I'll pay a significant premium over a purchase of the same liquor at 6th and 23rd (and more dramatically over said purchase in BedStuy) in one part because people in the village can afford to pay more.

  (You say the street first, avenue second.)

Pretty sure I say whatever I please.

Well, you can pronounce Houston Street like the city in Texas if you want, too, doesn't mean it's right.

IIRC, it was the reactive armor of the T-62 that was superior to Abrhams chobham plating.

That was the dprk claim that Juche powered tanks from WWII could turn ROK K1 tanks into mincemeat.

BTW, that K2 seems to be a monster.. it's fascinating what you can do when you have a large economy and no need to airlift tanks.

Actually I can't a woman asked me how to get to Houston (with Tex pronunciation) and all I could think was I guess you should go to JFK.

Anyway, like I pointed out after that post - consistency seems to have died if those 3 institutions that I pointed out now are haphazard about what they say.
