Inca o stire din categoria “prima arma de asalt 100% romaneasca bazata pe AKM”. Probabil pentru ca se apropie campania electorala si merg stirile cu “prima”, “singura”, “cea mai mare”.
Ar fi interesant de filozofat cum ca tunul M256 L44 folosit de Abrams este totusi diferit de tunurile L55 montate pe Leopard (sau L52 pe Leclerc) – unul din putinele puncte slabe ale Abrams -, sau cum, poate, FCS-ul lui M1 nu a “invatat” caracteristicile particulare ale munitiei compatibile dimensional produse in Europa (tipul pulberii, greutatea sau dinamica proiectilelor, etc) sau ADL-ul (Ammunition Data Link) nu ar fi “tradus” si asa, poate, poate, anuntul ar avea un sens, cat de mic, indiferent cate acrobatii logice ar trebui facute.
Din fericire nu e nevoie de o asemenea chinuiala.
Cu cuvintele lor:
More than 15 nations use the Rheinmetall ammunition in Leopard2 and M1A1/A2 Abrams main battle tanks.

Cum poate fi adevarat? Sa vedem:
In 2007, the United States Marine Corps issued a Universal Urgent Need Statement for programmable 120mm multi purpose tank ammunition.
As a result of the competition, the USMC selected the DM11 in 2008, awarding Rheinmetall with an order for 10,000 rounds of DM11 ammunition in summer 2009. In the same year the DM11 passed the German Safety Certification as well as four United States Safety Boards (WSESRB).
To date, Rheinmetall has supplied the Marines with 1,390 DM11 cartridges for the M1 Abrams system tests and the introduction of a data link in compliance with the Joint Configuration Board-JCB and doctrine definition.
The USMC is already using the DM11 in theatre. In 2012 another 1,512 DM11 rounds will be delivered to the Marines. The German Government and the USMC are actually jointly conducting pilot lot testing of the DM11.

Si Rheinmetall nu sint singurii producatori europeni care se lauda cu munitie compatibila pentru Abrams:
