Sequoia Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I wonder if there was a similar article for the MBT 70? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 A computer that has "solid state construction" and "a 6000 word memory". I love it. At the time that was cutting edge stuff. But by 1989 my HP calculator had better specs. Mind you the M1s from 1989 probably did too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this is probably in man-hours/hour so it's not quite as bad as it sounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Its interesting how the M1 Abrams armor was super-top-secret but within just a couple years of Abrams' introduction the Russians introduced the 'Super Dolly Parton' T72B with pretty much the same special armor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
