之前有人分享美國從烏克蘭弄到一臺T-90回來，
不過事實上俄羅斯也對美國做過類似的事情，而且不是在戰場撿破爛得手，
I Commanded U.S. Army Europe. Here’s What I Saw in the Russian and Ukrainian
Armies.

這篇文章是前美國陸軍歐洲指揮官Mark Hertling去年分析烏俄兩國軍事學習的問題，
裡面提到他當中校時受邀去參觀俄軍時的見聞，還看到了貨真價實的M1，
>The only truly impressive and surprising part of the tour was when we walked
through a “secret” field museum that had tanks from all the armies in the
world—including several from the United States. The Russians had somehow
managed to obtain an M1 Abrams tank (probably from one of their allies in the
Middle East), and we all believed the reason they allowed us into this
facility was to show us they had our most modern armor.
這次旅行中唯一真正令人印象深刻和令人驚訝的部分是當我們穿過一個“秘密”戰地博物
館時，那裡有來自世界上所有軍隊的坦克——包括幾輛來自美國的坦克。俄羅斯人不知何
故設法獲得了一輛 M1 艾布拉姆斯坦克（可能是從他們在中東的一個盟友那裡得到的），
我們都相信他們允許我們進入這個設施的原因是向我們展示他們擁有我們最現代的裝甲。
>We then visited our host unit’s motor pool, stationed just outside Moscow.
By that time, the Russian regimental commander and I had become friendly, and
as he walked us toward the display of vehicles, he proclaimed that I was
lucky to be one of the few Americans to see a Russian T-72 up close. With
tongue firmly in cheek, I told the translator to tell the colonel that having
fought in Desert Storm, I had seen many T-72s—but none of them still had the
turret attached. The interpreter hesitated and asked me if I really wanted to
say that to his colonel. Nodding my head, I watched my new friend’s face
turn red, but then transition to a slight grin. “Those were the export
versions we gave the Iraqis.”
然後我們參觀了駐紮在莫斯科郊外的東道主單位的汽車池。到那時，俄羅斯團長和我已經
變得友好起來，當他領著我們走向車輛展示區時，他宣稱我很幸運能成為為數不多的近距
離看到俄羅斯 T-72 的美國人之一。我面無表情地讓翻譯告訴上校，在沙漠風暴中戰鬥過
，我見過很多 T-72，但沒有一輛還裝有砲塔。翻譯猶豫了一下，問我是否真的想對他的
上校說那句話。點點頭，我看著我的新朋友的臉變紅了，但隨後又轉為微微一笑。“那些
是我們給伊拉克人的出口版本。”
