M1 Abrams Gun Is GERMAN. Rheinmetall RH-120. 5.3 Meters. 3.3 Tonnes. Built In USA.

The M1 Abrams' main gun—the iconic 120mm smoothbore cannon—is actually German. It's the Rheinmetall RH-120, the same cannon used on the Leopard 2, manufactured under license in the United States. The barrel alone is 5.3 meters long and weighs 3.3 tonnes. This was a deliberate choice to align with NATO allies who had already standardized on the German design. The cannon fires fin-stabilized sabot rounds at muzzle velocities exceeding 1,500 meters per second, delivering enough kinetic energy to punch through any tank armor in existence. The Abrams may be all-American in spirit, but its lethal reach is pure German engineering.

Navy Secretary: F-14 Was 'WORST Airframe-Engine MISMATCH In Years.' TF30 Was AWFUL.

TF30 KILLED America's First Female Fighter Pilot. Kara Hultgreen. Carrier Approach. Yawed Left.

The F-117's BIZARRE Shape Wasn't a Design Choice. It Was a CPU Limit

Every F-117 Panel Is Angled to Deflect Radar AWAY From the Sender

F-14 Engine Placement KILLED Kara Hultgreen. Wide Spacing = DEADLY Yaw. No Time To Eject.

American Soldiers Courted British Wives — Husbands Off Fighting || WW2 #shorts #ww2

M1 Abrams: 40 YEARS of Upgrades. M1 → M1A1 → M1A2. Still EVOLVING.

M1 Road Wheels CANNOT Be Aligned. Opposite Wheels On Same Bar = NO Twist. Quirky GENIUS.

1,300 Missions. 1,600 Targets Hit. The F-117 Lost ZERO Aircraft Over Iraq

SR-71 Fuel Won't IGNITE. Needs TEB. Spontaneously BURNS In Oxygen. Only 16 SHOTS.

The Radar That Detected the F-117 in 1999 Also Protected Britain in 1940

F110 Engine: Inlet Guide VANES. Smooth Laminar Air. NO More Compressor Stall. Fighter-Designed.

M1 Designers WANTED Hydrogas. Too NEW In The 1970s. Torsion Bars WON. 40 Years Later...

SR-71's Longest Mission: 11.2 HOURS. 5 Aerial Refuelings. Pilots Were The LIMIT.

British Split Into 2 Directions — "Unnerved" Langsdorff Completely|| WW2 #shorts #ww2

M1 Could Have CROUCHED. Hydrogas Adjusts Each Wheel. Lowers Profile. Torsion Bars Chosen Instead.

F-14 Engine Spacing = 2 PHOENIX MISSILES. The WEAPON Dictated The Airframe. Not Aerodynamics.

Boeing X-32 Fixed The Harrier's FATAL Flaws. Valves, Nozzles, And Cold Air.

F-14 Gap Between Engines = SECRET Wing. Lifting Body REDUCED Wing Pivot Load. GENIUS.

2 WEEK SECRET ISOLATION even soldiers are kept from the Dark|| WW2 #shorts #ww2

JP7 Fuel COOLED The SR-71. Pumped Through Airframe. Then BURNED. Fuel As Coolant. GENIUS.
