Sorry, what was that? Australian M1 Abrahams tank purchase.

Did anyone happen to see channel 10 news tnite, in Aust?

Did i imagine it, or did we go through the entire hour of news, then, as they were wrapping up, they mentioned that the australian Governmnet, was aquireing some large amounts of Abrahams Tanks at the moment.

Quickly, they said

'' and thanks for your time, we'll see you tommrow rah rah rah ''

I am searching sites at the moment looking, if i post ill set the page.

www.lancers.org.au...

The first of the Army's new M1 Abrahams tanks have arrived at Puckapunyal. Members of the Royal Australian Armoured Corps Association who attended the Corps Conference were given a special preview earlier this year.

Thats all they have....

Usually, when we buy helicopters, or talk about submarine purchase, its in the news.. with images, commanders talking and so forth..

This particular news cast, it was merely a sentance, quick right as the broad cast finished...

Whats up with that?

Pity I didn't catch the 10 news, but a quick search turns up heaps of results.

I wonder what we are going to use the tanks for?
