Are you worried that terrorist groups have tanks?

Cold War weaponry and modern military hardware: Inside the ISIS arsenal

In January the U.S. Central Command announced that U.S. and coalition airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria destroyed some 184 Humvees, 58 tanks and nearly 700 other vehicles.

That would not be a good thing if they did. But then I worry more about them getting hteir hands on a nuclear weapon.

If it is left behind on the Battlefield of course they will quickly make use of it. Disappointing that someone left it behind intact.

Actually no. I'd rather the terrorist groups have some conventional arms. A tank is VERY easy for us to spot, track, and eliminate if/when necessary.

The problem is the suicidal extremists more than the tanks :(

I am curious as to whether ISIS knows how to use the tanks and what is their logistics capabilities to arm, fuel, and fix them.

No because we have Drones that are improving and becoming more lethal each year on the battlefields.
