1,500HP M1 Assault Breacher in Work

Engineers with Alpha Company, 91st EN conduct breaching operations and clearance missions with the M1150(M1) Assault Breacher Vehicle during the Multinational Training Exercise, Combined Resolve III.
Based on the M1 Abrams-chassis(55 tons) with a 1,500 horsepower engine these tracked vehicles were especially designed to clear pathways for troops and other vehicles through fields and roads.

This is perhaps the best land vehicle idea I have ever seen the military make so far. I was in the US Army as an M1 Abrams tanker, so I already like the vehicle it's based on, but all of the parts of the vehicle really work in a way you don't have to hold back when operating. Note the speed of the driver using the plow, on a normal Abrams you have to go slow because the detachable mine plow sits up farther than the ABV's plow. The lane marker poles it shoots out are made of hardened aluminum, and can penetrate hard packed ground. The two long rectangular boxes on the rear of the turret are chaff flare dispensers to defend against aircraft missile locks.

[@hellogoodbye3129]

[@BlueSkyCountry]

World peace will never be a reality. Human nature is to compete and fight. When was the last time you felt jealous, or angry that another person had stole your accomplishments, or perhaps slept with your intimate partner, and you wanted to beat the shit out of him or do worse? That is how the world always will be. The only way to 'peace' is through superior firepower. An armed society is a polite society. No criminal will dare rob a bank when all of the town residents are packing heat. Example: The obliteration of the Jesse James outlaw gang in Northfield, MN, in the September of 1876. Armed townsmen, one with a rifle, shot most of the outlaws dead and the rest were captured by sheriff's deputies at an abandoned farmhouse not too far away.
