Why?

According to Chris, his running buddies at Herndon and Hanover and Five eyes fazman, the russians are using T55s and 1st gen T72s because all the 80s and 90s were destroyed or abandoned to the Ukrainians. The russians have no tanks left.

At least that is what they told us.

A 120 APFSDS and Modern HEAT round is more than enough to destroy a T55 or T 72. As a matter of fact, it is significant overmatch.

In DS we destroyed T72s with Brads using the 25mm gun.

Bottom line
You do not need DU.

But the US MIL IND complex will be happy , but not the taxpayers who have to foot the bill.
