The 3rd generation American main battle tank
the M1 Abrams, is the backbone of the United States Army and United States
Marine Corps armored divisions. The Abrams is characterized by its heavy armor
(it is one of the heaviest combat vehicles in the world), and its powerful
multifuel turbine engine. The tank first entered service at the beginning of
the 1980’s to replace the ageing M-60. It houses a sophisticated computerized
fire and control system within its modern armor-plated hull. The Abrams offers
greater crew protection than many of its predecessors, specifically in the
design of the separate and heavily protected ammunition storage area within the
main body of the tank. It was initially armed with a 105 mm main gun which is
to be up-dated and replaced by a more modern and powerful 120 mm smooth-bore
cannon. The Abrams has been extensively and successfully deployed on
operational service in several theaters of war, including recent conflicts in
the Middle East and Afghanistan.
