dann stimmt trotzdem etwas mit den Zahlen nicht:

General Dynamics, the maker of tanks and Gulfstream business jets, won a U.S. Army contract valued at $198 million to build 140 tanks for Iraq under the foreign military sales program.

Work will be completed by May 31, 2011, the Falls Church-based company said Monday in a statement. The Army previously leased 22 tanks to Iraq for training purposes, said Robin Porter, a spokeswoman for the defense contractor.

The M1A1 tanks will feature infrared thermal sights and engines with a filter cleaning system designed to reduce maintenance. The tanks will be built in Lima, Ohio; Scranton, Pa.; Anniston, Ala.; and Tallahassee

aha, nagelneue M1A1 für 1,4 Millionen pro Stück?
Entweder sind die Angaben zum Preis unvollständig (z.B. Iraker zahlen einen Teil selbst) oder es sind modernisierte Fahrzeuge
