Pretty much on target
It is all current equipment so nothing special.
I'm surprised it didn't tell what type of fuel the M1A1 Abrams used gas or diesel?

It seems to be a well researched book about theu.s. general. Equipment used by the allies.....it could have gone futher with experimental and hi-tech munitions i.e. drones and rockets
It was a good basic inventory of conventional arms and vehicles...I wish it had gone a bit more in depth with anti-missle seeking rockets and drones currently being developed
