M1 Abrams Shows Off Its Extreme Firepower

The M1 Abrams is a third-generation American main battle tank. The M1 Abrams entered service in 1980 and serves as the main battle tank of the United States Army and formerly of the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
There are three main operational Abrams versions, the M1, M1A1, and M1A2, with each new iteration seeing improvements in armament, protection, and electronics.
The latest upgrades consist of commander's independent thermal viewer, position navigation equipment, a full set of controls and displays linked by a digital data bus, improved fire control system, remotely operated stations (CROWS or CROWS II), color displays, better interfaces, better front and side armor, an upgraded transmission for better durability and more.
The main armament of the M1A1 and M1A2 is the M256 120 mm smoothbore gun(an improved variant of the Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44 gun carried on the German Leopard 2).
The M1 Abrams's powertrain consists of an AGT1500 multifuel gas turbine capable of 1,500 shaft horsepower.
About 10000 M1 Abrams tanks were produced since the 80s.

I would hate to be the one opposing them on the battlefield. No thank you. Glad they're on MY side.

[@just-incase3483]

It’s easy when no one is shooting back at you, never underestimate your opponent or think that your equipment is superior.

[@JGameplayz]

​@@just-incase3483 agreed, who knows what the opposing forces might have in their sleeves

[@user-kx1rg1mm1c]

Я дерусь против таких машин . Это решаемая задача. Надеюсь мне не придется убить вас всех что бы жить мирно как хотят в России но если надо меня это железо не остановит .

[@spitfire3003]

It’s so funny how people are saying “oh yeah but how will it do against the T14 or it can get destroyed just like any other tank” yes it can get destroyed but it has proven itself in combat and also Russia has been learning how it feels to lose tanks the hard way can’t wait to see if some more “Modern Russian Tanks” will end up in the west they will make good museum pieces

As a Marine Grunt - nothing better to see when ur in the shit - well maybe an A-10 but definitely tanks

The M1 Abrams is the punchline that makes other tanks cry for their mommies

[@user-kx1rg1mm1c]

Не думаю что в России плаксивые люди и танки . Не советую проверять . Немцы с французами да и британцами пробовали . Теперь нервно курят в сторонке.

[@Phed98]

​@@user-kx1rg1mm1c The biggest flaw of the Russians is that they overestimate themselves. And for God's sake, write in English language, this is not a Russian-language video.

[@unreal4010]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You know how many Russians have died, and how many Russian vehicles have been destroyed? The Russian military is a joke

[@lostinchineseroom]

[@gregm110]

ABRAMS vs LEOPARD vs CHALLENGER --- How would you rank the allied tanks against each other and are they a match for the T14?

[@JTR1897]

Non of those you mentioned compared to the Israeli Merkava mark 4. The only most active main battle tank in the world! and the only one to prove effective on battle

[@MrRais96]

The T14 is a tank of another generation, and it is certainly the best, and among the old Merkava mark 4 tanks the best.

[@user-kx1rg1mm1c]

​@@MrRais96я бы поспорил с вами . Меркава хороша но Абрамс воевал не меньше . Я дерусь на Т90мс. Машина очень хороша . Дрались с лео2а6 с польским экипажем мы их RIP .

[@spitfire3003]

Yeah the T14 is average at best it’s and if any of you think it’s effective where is it because it’s not showed up in ukraine and probably never will it was designed to look good and shock the west but never see combat

[@markwilliams7636]

I heard the T14 was a piece of shit ..

[@olegpopov4925]

Few days ago a report appeared that US ordered Ukraine to remove Abrams tanks from the frontline due to its vulnerability to the Russian drone attacks ) So, another wonder-weapon so widely publicized proved to be a piece of overpriced scrap metal, right after Leopards and Challengers
