U.S. sends 'Ironhorse' tanks to NATO's nervous Baltic front line | Reuters



Quote:
The "Ironhorse" unit, with around 700 soldiers and 20 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks, as well as Bradley and Stryker armoured fighting vehicles, is one of the most formidable U.S. military forces to be sent onto former Soviet soil. It will even operate at times from ex-Soviet army bases in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

The aim is to convince Moscow that -- unlike in non-NATO Ukraine -- any Russian interference in the Baltics would put it at war with the Western alliance.

I did my basic training at Ft. Knox back in the early 90's. Can attest 20 Abrams tanks should give one serious pause about what move they care to make or not make...

I'm sure Putin is quaking in his boots...

Not trivializing the M1A1s or their crews, but 20 tanks against about 2,000 Russian ones (plus air support, ground forces, etc.)?

Not to mention our sackless C-in-C who would never authorize them to do anything other than sit there and look good.
