Default Iraq: the military power (technical discussion)

We've got a couple of threads going on about Iraq, but I wanted to start one to discuss (only!) the military technology used by everyone involved.

Last night, I caught a TLC show where they listed the ten ultimate weapons. They included:

-Apache longbow helicopter
-that remote controlled jet propelled observation drone
-Amphibious Armored Assault vehicle (AAAV)
-JDAM
-M1-A1 Abrams heavy tank
-airborne laser
-B-2 bomber
-aircraft carrier
-F-22 fighter
-Trident submarine (#1)

The technology is quite astounding, both individually, and as a group.

Please feel free to discuss any of these, including tactics/strategy!
