You want to see first hand how we've been getting bilked by the military-industrial complex? Our Abrams tanks . . . you know, our main battle tanks . . . can't go up hills in the snow. They skid and slide backwards.
This is what Six to nine MILLION DOLLARS EACH buys us?
This is the quality and engineering excellence of the American military industrial complex? Friggin pathetic.
Watch:
With weapons systems like this, would be even be able to defend our own country . . . in the winter????
Gee, sorry China, you have to wait until Spring to invade us because our tanks can't go up hills in snow.

Put on cleats and you can move through, over or on top of anything!

From the looks of the terrain around where the tank was negotiating the climb up a hill, it appears it is in terrain that is safe for him to practice determining the limits of his tank. I'm sure this climb is part of his training.
In high school on Saturday's in the winter, not uncommon for the high school to see us athletes taking our cars in the parking lots and pulling donuts on the icy parking lot. While it was fun to do, it also taught us how to handle our cars in case we went into a surprise skid on the road. It is good they learn the limits of their tanks so when the battle do come to them in the winter, they don't get suprise and cost people who depend on them to lose their lives.
FUN TIMES.

A birthing has occurred. A birthing. A birthing before the pains. Howl, weep and wail oh Sinner man. Oh, Sinner woman. Backslidden child of mine. Judgment finds you this night that is day for you in my calendar of time. This appointed day of tomorrow has come. It has come.
The time of Rachel’s weeping to be heard across your world is this appointed day of tomorrow. Rachel shall weep once within a wheel within a wheel of time within time. Rachel weeps once. A second time is soon to follow. A time of testing. A time of trying.
Did I not warn you oh, world? Did I not say trying and testing? This appointed time is here… Is tomorrow… Is tomorrow’s day as darkness descends beginning with my display of lights of dancing colors for all to see and behold.
This is not a fable. This is not a joke. I speak no idle words or foolishness. Why are you so shocked my children, that I would use the darkness of pharaoh’s day upon you when I change not? There is no new thing, no new occurrence under my sun. My sun. My earth. My souls. My creation. I created it all in love. My love is an unending and everlasting.
Every plague listed both known and unknown is at my disposal. Every “new” virus or weapon created all originates from something I first created for I am the only one who speaks and creation occurs. Man, satan must have part of my original building blocks before he can create and yet you still choose to chase after the created and call it God instead of me.
The time of Rachel’s weeping is now! As the darkness descends and settles fully upon your world, I shall send forth my angels to gather those still innocent of mind. Meaning those who have as yet have fully learned and understood the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. If you are truly mine, then you will understand the innocent of mind are not called to endure the outer darkness that can be felt because it’s alive.
This day, this tomorrow’s day will be an eye opener to many who love me yet have unrepentant sin in your lives when you discover your electrical power has gone off and many scramble to find a candle before the darkness can settle any further into their homes.
I say now my children, Get the sin out now before the darkness descends! Get it out before I return! Let go of your foolish pride, your hurts that allow you to cling so desperately to anger, resentment and bitterness. These are sin children. Castaway doubt and unbelief. These are sin too.
This night, this day of tomorrow’s day I begin moving my great hand of darkness. Tomorrow’s day children. Tomorrow’s day for three days of time within time the darkness descends and remains. Time within time. A wheel within a wheel.
For those who are still physically here when the darkness ascends with some sanity still remaining in some… full cognitive ability in others I say, prepare for war! The three days of darkness and war upon Babylon, war for the world are intertwined. I say they are connected!
The darkness falls in an act of mercy and love. An answered prayer for many of my children who have been crying out for the lost. The three days of darkness and war are two judgments inside of one. Each linked so that when one is completed the other shall commence.
What say ye my wayward children? Will you repent now?
What say you Sinner man, Sinner woman, Sinner child? Will you turn to me now before it’s too late?
Come to me! Come to me! My arms are wide open. My hands are extended out to you. Come to me and let me wash the sin stains off your souls. Do it now! Come while you can for, I say a great shaking is to occur upon your world like never seen before.
My hand is stirring, stirring your earth! The ground beneath your feet! The Ocean’s deep! The earth is groaning from the weight of man’s sins. Soon she will not be able to bear it as she rumbles and groans then splits wide open from designated place upon place. Still for the judgment coming in this “now” season of now you are in.
Tribulation’s days have begun. My two witnesses are now fully here possessing my holy anointing like no other have ever possessed. Voices crying in the wind. They are here! They are emerging from my protective hand protecting their identities. For it is not only the anointing to call down fire and all plagues they possess.
They are humble hearted servants who refuse and will always refuse to bend the knee to anyone but me Jesus, Son of the living God. Many have seen them as men of old in sackcloth and ashes in dreams and visions but I say again it is the anointing of the prophets upon them as well as that which is mine through my Spirit which gives my 2 olive branches, my candlesticks the ability to withstand satan, antichrist and the whole world who will strive against them until their appointed time is up.
Those that have ears to hear my truth, eyes to see what the Spirit is made known shall soon have more understanding pertaining to my chosen two. Humble hearts they are. Warriors of faith. They have arrived fully into their position having received the anointing necessary to the fulfilling of this call upon each’s life.
Three days of darkness comes. Rachel will weep for her children. It will be but a moment for my true children who understand they will now be with me. But it’s weeping and wailing for those whose hearts are not ready as I remove their innocent from this evil world.
A dividing, that which I have spoken about for much of your recent time is now evident to each heart. More so as the darkness descends, and the true condition of your soul can be seen for my children by whether they have their electrical power or whether they are found to have candlelight.
Tomorrow’s today is here. It starts at now on tomorrow’s today. Seek me for your understanding of all these things and quit seeking all your answers from another. I will speak to each heart directly for what way is best for their understanding if and when they fully seek me.
Pray to the Father in my name. Go to my holy word of truth and truth, only pure truth you shall find. But remember my word confirms itself. I am the way, the truth and the life.
My true hearted children this is the time to shine like never before. Reach all those that are placed before you. Share my blessed hope. My gift of salvation. If they receive it, then rejoice with them. If they do not, then know it’s their choice. If you are obedient to how I lead you, then know this is all I ask of you. Let go and remember it is their choice.
I’m coming children! I’m coming and before the first weapon of mass nuclear destruction strikes your ground of Babylon…know this is to all my children worldwide, I will have already returned for you. Only Father knows the precise moment of time when I shall be given the command to go get my children. To come for you. But it is the season of this time of now!
So, keep watch because I am coming and it’s any time before these weapons fall upon Babylon who was once called America, but no more by me and hits their soil.

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
The best pretrib rapture verses are 2Thes.2:4-8 that say the A/C can't be revealed until he who is now restraining his revelation is taken out of the way. That "he" is the body of Christ that is restraining the A/C appearance. Some say the restrainer is the Holy Spirit but that can't be because people will be saved during the Tribulation.
Others say the Church must undergo further testing to be made ready for the rapture but that suggests the blood of Jesus isn't sufficient to cleanse a sinner. It would also mean that all who have died in Christ over the past 2,000 years must be dug up and experience the Tribulation in order to be saved, equally absurd.

Thanks for the laught lol

Yes if you had a bad driver and tank commander there was problems, But that goes for any vehicle in snow and mud and frozen ground, But trust the M1 is one bad ass killing machine shoots from very far away with incredible devastation on its target. The m1 was specifically designed for the European theater.
You obviously know what you are talking about! Here in Arkansas icy snow situations happen at least a couple of times a year. That's why I load the back of the truck with fire wood for weight and carry a gallon of bleach so if I do get stuck, I pour the bleach on my tires and my wheels roll right through it.
Sometimes we need a little "CRAZY".
You got that right!
8th Army, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK, 25th Battalion.
KOREA Baby!
38th, Camp Kasey area!
First to Fight! First to Die!
Nothing can stop the Abrams’s. Winter is the best time to fight as the enemy has to adjust when all hail fire is on them!
HOAH!
Our Army has them:)
This just brings to mind the many weaknesses of tanks. In a straight-up face to face battle with other armor, or against unarmored enemies, tanks are fearsome. But get them outside that box, and major weaknesses occur:
- as has been alluded to below with the high heels comments, a resourceful, gritty, HEALTHY coherent crew with true esprit de corps is the biggest strength, and vulnerability if not at 100%. My personal opinion is this factor has the DoD somewhat concerned for using U.S. personnel;
- Tracks, for a variety of reasons;
- Engine exhaust/intakes;
- Sticky fire bombs & thermite;
- Poor visibility, especially with bullets in sensor and viewing areas;
- Terrain: mud, mature thick tree areas, mountains, heavy snow, ravines, narrow unstable roads next to waterways;
- Focused/concentrated white noise EMF;
- Fuel consumption/logistical support;
- Field maintainability with quality personnel for the above;
- Crew relief;
- many other damages inflicted by a peer adversary, such as air strikes.
For these and many other reasons, tanks remain mostly a show of force for anything other than narrowly defined situations. They are too vulnerable to both spread out guerrilla or special forces and high-tech peer enemies.
Look at Afghanistan. We could only hold the cities. We never held the countryside.
The civilian infastructure friendly treads had rubber pads. The "business" treads had a metal bar which would dig in and grab.....much like wearing chains except several orders of magniture more effective and distructive.
And these assholes want to push Russia into war with NATO??
No wonder why Biden and the Pentagon won't sent Abram tanks to Ukraine.
And no wonder why Medieve said those NATO tanks would burn upon entry into Ukraine.
Those tanks are worthless pieces of shit being sold around the world as the gold standard of tanks
It must be something so severe they'll risk
a nuclear confrontation to keep concieled.
We commoners, we the little people, fail to
see the parameters.
People bandy about explanations: money
laundering, child sacrifice, pharmacy concerns,
But there is more. There has to be a puzzle
piece no one is looking at.
A nuclear war threatens the extinction of us all.
What is so pressing in Ukraine that Austin,
Blinkin and Biden continually reaffirm,
"WHATEVER IS NECESSARY."
Whatever is necessary to do what?
Destroy Russia? Is that akin to destroying
The only remaining Christian state upon
earth?
Put in these terms maybe the existential
aspect of the conflict begins to make sense?.
If indeed Russian is broken up,
If this happens, Satan scores a profound victory.
One should read Joel Richardson's The Islamic Antichrist. It's Israel's neighbors who have an inborn hatred of the Jews, not Europe. Two of the antichrist's names is the Assyrian and King of the North.
But they also prevent the tracks from digging in. Which brings up a point, who the hell is going to service these tanks in the field. Certainly not the Ukes!
Large grouser bars help but ice still wins.
pin points on tracks helps but don't last long.
He provides us with unique knowledge of events at great personal risk, and undertaking this huge task as a one man band. Our sincere gratitude to you Hal for all you do for us.
Next, I would like to show you the math and a comparison: 10,400 tanks at $8.92 million each is a total of $92.76 Billion at today's prices(replacement cost). America is also rearming Europe with new NUCLEAR weapons. See:-
https://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2023/01/us-installs-new-nukes-in-europe-as-destructive-as-83-hiroshima-bombs-3787351.html
UNICEF has appealed for 10.3 billion US dollars to reach more than 110 million children with humanitarian assistance across 155 countries and territories. Just over 1/10 the cost of the tanks!
It is obvious to me America has ceased to be a world leader for Peace, Prosperity, and Democracy, and is now a Military Tyrant propping up its Hegemony(Uni polarity), by corruption, deceit, and the use of weapons!

They say "no man left behind". How many got a shallow hole and a face full of dirt. Somethings, "not so funny".
Where is that soon to be "decommissioned" chopper parked on a hillside. With all the dead guys in it. A "thermite frag" later, "training exercise" gone wrong. Different branches? Above your pay grade. Just saying.
Jet fuel is expense and hard to get
It takes time to start the turbine up
It very visible to any heating satellite and missile guiding systems
In this example the engine has properly just been started and the turbine is still not running on full capacity
(Grousers are the slats that run perpendicular to the tracks).
Without them they have no bite.
On an icy or frozen pavement it's like ice skating.
I would bet the boys in the tank are playing and having a great time.
There's a reason loggers have corked boots. Same applies to this tank.
(I'm not armor, I'm former infantry) If you're armor please chime in.

Most likely NWO.GOV would send them to battle with rubber shoes because…. Well, .gov.
No Weapons

How many "half open eyes" would you have to "look into". To explain this BS. Before they glaze over?
That track in the 1st photo does not look like it's got much bite.
A better photo would help.
I bet that they make a variety of tracks for this tank.
The US Military Industrial complex would not miss the opportunity to up-sell a product.
---- OR more possibly--------
This looks like a hard included roadway with ice on it.
Anything less that track spikes, would allow any tank to go up such an incline
This looks like part of one of the winter training courses, where one of the things taught to tank crews is how to gauge the speed needed to climb smooth icy slopes... and deal with loss of traction, while on an incline.
If the ground was anything other than concrete/pavement, with ice, then it or any other MBT (including the horribly underpowered Challenger II) would climb with no issue, even if crawling...
I came to the same conclusion after trying other explanations. Thanks.
