Regardless, it appears that
the M1 series has a fine combat record, while Leopard I and Leopard

I'm not meaning to slag of the M1, which is a damn fine vehicle
(though the gas guzzling turbine could use some work :-)....but IIRC
the Leopard I at least has some combat - IIRC the Dames had a minor
engagement in Bosnia a few years back they won habdily (admittedly
against second line Yugoslav kit.

MBT versus MBT engagement?

Serbian 40mm and a couple of mortar positions...

Heck, that would be about as bad as claiming the MILES fires at NTC combat
qualified the Abrams pre-ODS! :-)
