En Ukraine, les premiers chars Abrams américains ont été observés cette semaine non loin du front. C'est la première fois que ces puissants chars de combat, conçus pendant la Guerre froide, font face à l'armée russe en Europe. Tout indique que les blindés américains sont désormais prêts à entrer en action. Depuis l'été 2023, l'affaire du transfert vers l'Ukraine d'une trentaine de chars M1A1 Abrams a alimenté beaucoup de discussions sur les réseaux sociaux.Les premières photos ont vraisemblablement fuité ces derniers jours. À ce stade, elles sont rares. L'une est partie d'un compte X ukrainien et l'autre provient d'une chaîne Telegram pro-russe. Même si, comme le fait remarquer le quotidien Le Figaro, la végétation semble concorder avec ce que l'on peut trouver dans l'est de l'Ukraine en ce moment, la photo n'a pas été géolocalisée de source indépendante. D'ailleurs, peut-être faudra-t-il attendre encore un peu pour voir des pelotons d'Abrams combattre dans les plaines ukrainiennes…De sources russes, le premier M1A1 aurait été vu dans la région de Koupiansk. L'administration Biden a prévu d'en livrer 31 aux forces armées ukrainiennes.  « Des Abrams sont déjà en Ukraine et se préparent à renforcer nos brigades », annonçait, dès le 25 septembre, le président ukrainien, Volodymyr Zelensky, sur les réseaux sociaux, sans toutefois préciser le nombre d'unités déjà livrées, ou en ligne. Sur les clichés, l'Abrams, les chenilles dans la boue quelque part dans l'est de l'Ukraine, est présenté dans une livrée vert sombre et dans sa version M1A1. « Ce n'est pas la plus récente, mais il est efficace », assure Marc Chassillan, spécialiste de l'armement terrestre : « La version M1A1 du char américain, c'est en fait la première version qui a été équipée d'un canon de 120 millimètres, alors que les précédentes versions étaient équipées de 105 millimètres. C'est un canon beaucoup plus puissant évidemment, qui porte plus loin et qui perce plus. D'autre part, c'est une version qui est dotée de blindage plus épais que ceux des précédentes versions. Il a aussi un viseur optronique qui a de très grandes qualités pour voir, en particulier la nuit. Ce n'est pas la dernière version de l'Abrams qui est la version M1A2 SEP, mais c'est quand même une bonne version intermédiaire avec des qualités de mobilité, de protection et de puissance de feu tout à fait satisfaisantes pour le front ukrainien ».Entré en service au milieu des années 80, l'Abrams M1A1, c'est le char américain de la fin de la Guerre froide, et c'est toujours une belle bête de combat, abonde Léo Péria-Peigné (chercheur au Centre des études de sécurité de l'Ifri où il travaille au sein de l'Observatoire des conflits futurs sur la prospective capacitaire en matière d'armement et sur l'emploi des systèmes d'armes à venir) : « C'est un véhicule qui a été produit en très grand nombre, qui a eu le temps de voir le combat et qui a donc bénéficié de retours d'expérience importants et d'amélioration. Il y a peut-être une quinzaine de versions différentes qui existent, améliorées au fur et à mesure. Donc la M1A1, ce n'est clairement pas la plus récente, mais ça reste un véhicule qui a bien vieilli et qui a été plutôt bien pensé. »L'apparition des chars de combat made in USA peut-elle changer la donne sur le front ukrainien ?Trop peu, trop tard, pointent les experts, d'autant que la maîtrise de l'engin et de ses systèmes ne se fait pas en un jour, rappelle Marc Chassillan: « L'apparition de l'Abrams près des lignes russes s'est en fait, je pense, la dernière étape de prise en main des chars par les équipages ukrainiens qui ont été entraînés d'abord aux États-Unis, puis ensuite en Europe. Et là, en fait, ils ont tout intérêt à tester les vraies capacités de leur char au plus près du front, surtout avec l'hiver qui arrive et qui modifie considérablement le terrain. Les Ukrainiens ont intérêt à savoir exactement ce que le M1A1 a dans le ventre en matière de mobilité. Pour le reste, que vous alignez des chars Abrams ou des chars Léopards allemands, en termes de capacité militaire, c'est à peu près la même chose ». Depuis le lancement de l'offensive d'été qui n'a pas débouché sur une percée significative, l'Ukraine réclame des centaines de chars, et particulièrement des tanks lourds. Le porte-parole de l'US Army en Europe, le Colonel Martin O'Donell affirme « que l'Abrams ne sera pas l'arme miracle qu'attend l'Ukraine » -it's not a silver bullet- .  Aussi sophistiqués soient-ils, ce ne sont pas 30 chars Abrams qui pourraient renverser la tendance sur le terrain, d'autant plus que le front pourrait se figer durant l'hiver. Les gains territoriaux qu'aurait pu apporter une percée de la part de l'infanterie mécanisée et de la cavalerie durant l'été semblent désormais être un vieux souvenir...  D'ailleurs, sur les réseaux sociaux, nombreux sont les comptes qui relaient l'efficacité des missiles à longue portée ATACMS livrés par les États-Unis, capables de frappes au-delà des lignes, ce qui a conduit à une lente dégradation des capacités russes. L'exemple le plus flagrant étant la destruction récente de plusieurs hélicoptères d'attaques russes Ka-52 dont les missions anti-char avaient contribué à enrayer l'offensive estivale de l'armée ukrainienne.L'Ukraine aurait-elle besoin de d'avantage d'artillerie à longue portée que de chars de bataille ? Attrition ou mouvement : tout dépend des effets recherchés, des moyens disponibles et des opportunités sur le terrain.Une impression de déjà-vu et pourtant…Au-delà des réalités tactiques, le déploiement de tank Abrams en Ukraine, a une portée symbolique forte. Les observateurs font remarquer que le cheval de bataille de la cavalerie américaine est de retour sur le vieux continent sous son camouflage centre-Europe. Certes, ces dernières années, on a déjà revu le M1A1 lors des exercices périodiques de l'OTAN dans les pays baltes, en Pologne et sur le flanc Sud, mais ces premiers faits d'armes remontent aux guerres d'Irak (1991 et 2003), au Helmand en Afghanistan en 2010-11, et à la bataille de Mossoul sous les couleurs irakiennes en 2016-17. Dans l'ensemble, le char américain s'est bien comporté dans des environnements et des missions très différentes (Terrain ouvert dans le désert, appui à la contre-guérilla, guerre urbaine). Les observateurs notent toutefois une maintenance complexe, (en partie liée à l'utilisation d'une turbine pour sa propulsion) et une vulnérabilité de certaines versions à des missiles anti-char modernes dans certains secteurs.Conçu pour rééquilibrer les forces avec… L'URSSAvec l'Ukraine, le M1A1 retrouve le théâtre de confrontation, pour lequel il a été conçu : l'Europe. Dans l'ADN de l'Abrams, il y a la guerre froide ! Dans les années 70', le Pentagone, conscient du déséquilibre entre l'OTAN et le Pacte de Varsovie dans le domaine des chars de combat, va tout faire pour combler son retard. — Fill the tank Gap - On estime qu'à la fin des années 70, l'armée rouge était en mesure d'aligner 10 000 tanks de plus que les forces de l'OTAN. Le Pentagone, soucieux de prendre l'avantage dans le domaine conventionnel en Europe, va tout miser sur la technologie. Protection, conduite de tir, système de vision nocturne très moderne, partage des informations tactiques vont progressivement faire leur apparition sur les tanks de la famille Abrams.Contexte différent en UkraineDans les années 1980, l'armée américaine va pousser à son paroxysme la logique de l'intégration des moyens terrestres et aériens en Europe particulièrement. Pour faire face aux hordes de chars soviétiques, l'armée devait compter des hélicoptères nouveaux et très avancés comme le AH-64 Apache, ou l'avion A-10 Thunderbolt II spécialisé dans la lutte anti-char que l'air force basera en Allemagne.Tous seront admis au service actif, avant la chute du mur de Berlin. La combinaison de la doctrine et des nouveaux armements devait permettre de bousculer l'adversaire en exploitant ses failles, et de lui imposer une guerre de mouvement de haute intensité. Là s'arrête la comparaison, car en Ukraine l'Abrams n'aura pas toute la machine de guerre américaine derrière lui (Logistique, maintenance, transport).  Les équipages d'Abrams devront faire face à de nouvelles menaces issues de la « techno-guérilla » comme les drones suicides. Au final, il n'est pas sûr que ce fleuron puisse faire la démonstration de ces capacités en termes de mobilité alors que l'adversaire fait tout pour entraver la liberté de manœuvre des chars utilisés par les Ukrainiens (Mines, obstacles, brouillage).

Travel Media Group's Hospitality Trailblazers podcast series is going full speed ahead!  Marketing Director and Host of the Suite Spot Ryan Embree sits down with a very special guest, Chief Operating Officer of Davidson Hospitality Group, Pete Sams! In this episode, Pete really gives a breath of fresh air to the hospitality industry and provides a behind-the-curtains look at everything going on at Davidson Hospitality Group and what these initiatives mean for their business partners and guests. Suite Spot Podcast · 103 - Hospitality Trailblazers: Pete Sams Episode Transcript Our podcast is produced as an audio resource. Transcripts are generated using speech recognition software and human editing and may contain errors. Before republishing quotes, we ask that you reference the audio. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Suite Spot podcast. This is your host, as always, Ryan Embree. Got a great episode continuing our Hospitality Trailblazers series. This is the second episode of this series. For those listeners that might not know what this is, we are highlighting and showcasing some of the industry's best and brightest and people and the groups that we're gonna talk about today that are pushing our industry forward. Right? We did a similar series last year where we talked about some of those hospitality heroes, those going above and beyond during the pandemic. Now, as we have a little bit better news and outlook on the future for our industry, we're bringing some of those key members. And with me today, I've got a great guest. He's Chief Operating Officer at Davidson Hospitality Group, Pete Sams. Pete, this is your first time to the Suite Spot. Welcome in. Pete Sams: Yes. Yes. It's comfortable. Thanks for having me. Ryan Embree: Awesome. Well, let's jump right into it. And it's the first question. Sometimes my favorite, especially with our new guests, you know, we're such in a unique industry where people's stories, you know, really can come from anywhere, right? With hospitality backgrounds. So give us a little bit about your journey and how you ended up here at Davidson Hospitality Group. Pete Sams: Well, first and foremost, again, great to spend time with you, Ryan, and thanks for including me with such esteemed company. I don't know if Trailblazer is code for vintage or nice way of saying old, but, apparently, as you could see by the white in my beard, I've been around a little while. It's been an amazing journey to be sincere with you, Ryan. I wake up sometimes and just wonder how, how it all came together. But to give you a little bit of color on, on my background, my history, I've surpassed quarter century in the space, probably a little closer to almost 30 years at this point, which is, again, hard to fathom. Like many of my colleagues in our industry, I did not initially anticipate working in, in the hospitality space full-time. And, and as a career, my first role in hotels was I'd gone into the military out of school, served in the, in the US Army overseas, did a tour, drove an M1A1 tank, which I always say prepared me well for a life and hospitality, but getting aside, it's, you know, a spirit to serve. And I do believe in servant leadership and putting others above yourselves, being part of amazing teams. And I think it translates in, in a lot of ways. So, when I exited the military, I had gotten the GI Bill College Fund monies to put myself through school, and I was working as a server waiting tables. I was waiting tables as I was finishing my degree in finance at Corpus Christi, Texas. The first leg of my, my career kind of goes in thirds, first 10 years of my career were in the finance discipline. I got my degree in finance. And while I was finishing school, I actually became a part of the Leader in Development program ...

Today we hear a Combat Story from a long-time Combat Story listener Christian Holloway, a former Marine who was part of the initial invasion into Iraq, fought in both Fallujah I and II, and was one of the first Marines in what we now know as Marine Special Operations Command or MARSOC. [Support us on Patreon and get exclusive content and insights at www.patreon.com/combatstory] Christian was just 18 years old when he crossed the line of departure into Iraq for the initial invasion alongside M1A1 tanks in his Marine Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV).He was then clearing buildings on foot in Fallujah alongside his Marine brothers, was among the first to see the effects of IEDs and what later became a very common and lethal enemy TTP, and was then in the elite special operations community training foreign militaries as a force multiplier. Since leaving the military, Christian continued to train service members in Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape (SERE) as a contractor and now hosts a financial information program on YouTube.This is a great Combat Story that follows the path from the tactical perspective of the Marine infantryman to the strategic MARSOC operator and I hope you enjoy his humble insights as much as I did.

In this episode we speak with United States Marine Corps (USMC) Major Ronald "JR" Valasek, who is a proud tanker.We discuss his journey in becoming a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, first as an enlisted member, and then as an officer in the tank community.The Marine Corps has a rich history of operating tanks which dates back to the early 1920s. Most recently, the Corps had three tank battalions which were comprised of the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank, which was developed by General Dynamics.USMC M1A1 tanks have been deployed in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, and have proved invaluable in supporting ground forces.Major Valasek describes the utility of the tank, and how the Marine Corps operated them in combat in line with the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) philosophy in which Marines support other Marines on the ground. You'll hear how this is somewhat different from the way the U.S. Army fields their main battle tanks. As useful as a main battle tank is, the Marine Corps modernization plan calls for a lighter and more nimble force to orient the service to face complex threats in the maritime environment, and that has resulted in the service divesting itself of all its main battle tanks.U.S. Marine Corps tanks are now gone, but the proud tanker spirit lives on, so we hope you enjoy this episode which is meant to honor all USMC tankers past and present.Thanks to Major Valasek for this time and kindness in sharing his journey and that of U.S. Marine Corps tanks!Semper Fi and Go Bold!

The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) is the Corps' next-generation vehicle designed to move Marines from ship to shore. It is currently replacing the Assault Amphibious Vehicle, which has served the Corps for more than 40 years. The ACV will be the primary means of tactical mobility and lethality for the Marine Battalion Landing Team embarked aboard a Marine Expeditionary Unit at sea and ashore. The ACV has the capability to provide organic, direct fire support to dismounted infantry in the attack, and has a sustained ground mobility similar to the M1A1 tank. The ACV wil support expeditionary mobility capability and capacity with balanced levels of performance, protection and payload. Manny talks to the Marine currently leading the fielding and development effort across all ACV mission role variants for the Marine Corps, Col. Tim Hough. Question, comment or idea?

This episode, I cover the M1A1 Carbine, a decent starting wall weapon

There's no one in this world that I respect more than Jack Ramson. He currently serves as a USMC First Sergeant with the NWSS Unit for the Air Wing. I first met Jack at tank school in Fort Knox, Kentucky where he was one of my instructors. After deploying in Afghanistan as a Tank Platoon Commander, Jack eventually joined my platoon serving his last combat deployment as my wingman. Words cannot describe what this man means to me, or how grateful I am to have served with him. In this episode, Jack and I discuss the ins and outs of the M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, the history of tanks, our thoughts on the Marine Corps getting rid of their tank battalions, all while applying some lesson we learned as tankers to hunting. 

We discuss the wonderful M1A1 Springfield rifle and it's long range capabilities... and truing ballistic charts *the right way*... and, the amazing Accuracy International rifles... and as always, preps of the week, quotable quotes, and more!

In this episode Greg and George look at one of the only tank games on the SNES, Super Battletank! Also known by it's full title of Gary Kitchen's Super Battletank: War In The Gulf, industry legend Gary Kitchen oversaw the design and development of this simulation/action game where you control a M1A1 tank in the Middle East during the 1991 Gulf War. We talk about the history and influence that Gary Kitchen has had over the years, discuss the tank and the compromises for playing vs realsim the game creators made, how the game plays, and if it holds up today. Any comments, feedback, questions, etc. can be left on our FB page or directed to thesnespodcast@yahoo.com and as always thanks for your support!

The United States is the world's largest arms merchant. It's not even close. So, who decides what gets sold, and to whom? And how closely does anyone follow the rules? This week on War College we look at the upsides, and the downsides, of having such a big share of the arms market. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bruce McQuain from Blackfive joined us once again for Someone You Should Know, our weekly tribute to the troops. Bruce spent 28 years in the U.S. Army and he is a veteran of the Vietnam war. He brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match. This week Bruce told us about Sergeant Jarrett Kraft. From his Navy Cross citation, "As numerically superior insurgent forces attacked Sergeant Kraft and the Marines in Al Fallujah, Iraq, he quickly organized and fearlessly led three assault forces on three separate attacks to repel the insurgents and ensure the successful advance of the battalion. With complete disregard for his own life, he placed himself between intense enemy fire and the men during each attack providing suppressive fire and leadership to sustain the fight and eliminate the enemy.

Bruce McQuain from Blackfive joined us once again for Someone You Should Know, our weekly tribute to the troops. Bruce spent 28 years in the U.S. Army and he is a veteran of the Vietnam war. He brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match. This week Bruce told us about Sergeant Jarrett Kraft. From his Navy Cross citation, "As numerically superior insurgent forces attacked Sergeant Kraft and the Marines in Al Fallujah, Iraq, he quickly organized and fearlessly led three assault forces on three separate attacks to repel the insurgents and ensure the successful advance of the battalion. With complete disregard for his own life, he placed himself between intense enemy fire and the men during each attack providing suppressive fire and leadership to sustain the fight and eliminate the enemy. Although grenades thrown by the insurgents rendered him momentarily unconscious during one assault, this did not dampen his spirit or determination. Undeterred, Sergeant Kraft continued to lead from the front, despite being wounded himself. On two more occasions, he was knocked down stairwells by enemy grenade blasts and finally while emplacing a sniper in a critical location, Sergeant Kraft was knocked down by the blast from a friendly M1A1 tank main gun.
