No mention of American M1 Abrams tanks? Apparently several have been captured and a few have also been destroyed by ISIS. These don't have the same advanced armour and systems. the US models have. |

I saw the Kurds using T-55s and other combat vehicles on CNN. I'm guessing those were taken from ISIS in Iraq ?

Which is mostly SA, Medical, Man packed AT weapons, rations, etc. … The Turks again in showing their "whole hearted" support for the NATO/UN actions, will allow Iraqi Kurds cross into Turkey to get to Kobani … |
