IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS:
- The M68 105mm Gun is rifled, not Smoothbore. This was a script error that wasn't corrected.
-The M1A1 began receiving DU armor in either October or May 1988, not 1987.
- The Leopard 2 was powered by a Twin Turbo V12, not a V6.
- We incorrectly used the Chinese Flag instead of our Soviet Flag for the T-72 lecture slide.
Unfortunately, we did get certain visuals incorrect on this video. YouTube does not allow us to update our video file, so please refer to this for corrections regarding the graphics
Really sorry for this, we will do our best to avoid mistakes like this in the future.
