Tank identification

Tank and lorry

Can anyone identify the tank and lorry in this image? They were both part of a parade to celebrate 25 years of the Latvian army, but they're clearly not in the table at Latvian Land Forces#Military vehicles. Smurrayinchester 16:11, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

The tank is an American M1A2 Abrams, here is a news article about their arrival in Latvia during March 2015 - http://uatoday.tv/politics/us-tanks-arriving-in-latvia-for-joint-military-drills-amid-russia-aggression-414155.html

The truck is an Oshkosh M1070 HET (Heavy Equipment Transporter). Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:20, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
