But you could drop an Abrahms tank without any problems.

Being able to airdrop an MBT with it is a problem in itself

It's not the plane that presents the problem, it's the drop/fall itself. Even if you created a parachute-system large enough to slow an MBT down significantly the force of the opening and/or the impact would probably still break a lot of expensive things.

Regardless of what The A Team has shown you para-dropping a 60 ton tank from a moving airframe is not a feasible idea.

You'll never believe this (I didn't) but the A-Team tank sequence actually checks out (Although it's an M8 light tank that's designed to be airdropped....well..*was* designed since it's been cancelled

)
