I don’t understand what makes me angry? The title doesn’t imply anything, it just states a fact. A Chinese tank failed and two Bangladeshi soldiers died as a result.
You literally jumped in to defend the company that makes them or did you just wanna defend China? I don’t understand why you’d need to do either lol
Do you think the title would’ve mentioned an “All-American” tank if it had been a 60 year old M48, or do you see the bias at play?
