Anonymous Coward User ID: 10481346 ![]() 01/30/2023 09:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was in a cavalry unit when the m1a1 first came out, everyone in the unit had to have top secret clearance. One time in the field a tank was wrecked and a panel bent and cracked open and you could see what was inside. Within minutes they had large steel plates put over the tank in question, a mylar tarp suspended above that and camo netting put up above that so no satalite imaged could be taken of the damage. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67904014 That was true several decades ago, but since we have used them in numerous wars and left damaged ones abandoned. Everyone in the world has got their hands on these and copied the tech. |
