M-1 tank ability to be tested
Iraqi vehicles pose a threat in tank battle
WASHINGTON — Commanders of the United States' top-of-the-line M-1 tanks will need all their technological advantages and strong air support to wage successfully against Iraq's modern and battle-tested tank corps.
The Associated Pess
A land offensive to drive Iraq from occupied Kuwait will test the mettle of the M-1 Abrams, a $3-million piece of technological wizardry named after the late Gen. Creighton Abrams.
The Iraqi tank corps hoping to smash an allied ground assault contains the Soviet-made T-72, a powerful and respected vehicle the Iraqis used to an advantage in its 1980-88 war against Iran.
The crucial factor in a tank battle will be air support, and here the United States and its allies should have an overwhelming advantage.
A-10 attack planes armed with Maverick missors and armor-piercing cannons and Apache helicopters firing Hellfire missiles will be sweeping down on Iraqi tank positions, while reconnaissance aircraft will be calling in positions for ground artillery.
The analysts express confidence that the M-1, developed in a $20-billion program during the last two decades, has the firepower to prevail.
But the Iraqis also will be going into battle with several key factors in
Iraill will field about 4,000 tanks, compared to about 2,200 U.S. tanks and 1,200 tanks from its allies. The modified T-72's 125mm main gun is slightly larger than the 120mm guns mounted on the M-1.
The T-72's three-layer, 200mm armor compares with the best U.S.
Gen. Colin Powell, chairperson of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Soviet tanks were designed to be

Maj. Peter Keating of the Army's Public Affairs Office said the T-72 was the best export model the Soviets bad
Ira has about 500 T72s. Ica calls the "Babylon Lion." The rest of its tank corps includes less lethal T14s and a few F22s dating back more than 30 years.
Military experts also said that the threat of the older T-55s should not be ignored. The Iraqis have reinforced
the armor on the original Soviet model and, while most carry 100mm guns, some reportedly have been fitted with the big guns used by the T-72.
Pentagon sources said the M1-A1, the latest version of the Abrams tank, would lead the way in any offensive.
The Army also has older M-1s and M1-A1s that are being shipped in from Europe to replace the Marine Corps' force of about 200 M-60s an
older tank with a 105mm gun.
Among the M-1's strong points:

Military and enviromental problems heat gulf

In broadcasts short on specifics, the Baghdad government claimed U.S. air strikes on tankers and oil facilities had spilled oil and touched off fires. The U.S. command acknowledges that a nearby clash at Baghdad's airport has terminal, but it rejects the charge that its forces caused the major spill.

Environmentalists sound hopeless.
The crude already in the water was enough for an environmental calamity.
The gulf is full of marine life — dolphins and turtles, corormorans and coral, mangrove and shellfish — lying in the path of the southbound
But Saudi authorities were necessarily concentrating their defenses not on animal and plant life, but on
desalination plants, whose converted seawater supplies two-thirds of the drinking water for the gulf states, as well as providing 400 troops of Operation Desert Storm
meanwhile, British Petroleum Co. was flying in more than 70 tons of oil booms and suction skimmers, and a team of U.S. experts, from the Coast Guard, Environment, National Press Office agencies, arrived in Riyadh and immediately conferred with Saudi officials on anti-snail strategies.
"Even when the oil has disap peared from view, the whole fragile ecosystem could be irretrievably damaged," said Nicole Kingle-Voley, water pollution officer for the Worldwide Fund for Nature in London. "It normally takes 200 years for water in the gulf to be renewed."
