How US Moves Large Amount of M1 Abrams Tanks During Crazy Logistics Operations

Welcome back to our channel for a feature on the lengths the US Military goes to move heavy armored vehicles and equipment to support operations globally. It is incomprehensible how an army with so many means could not take over Afghanistan. You had a hard time even in the distance. The M1 Abrams is a third-generation American main battle tank designed by Chrysler Defense and named for General Creighton Abrams. Conceived for modern armored ground warfare and now one of the heaviest tanks in service at nearly 68 short tons (62 metric tons), it introduced several modern technologies to US armored forces, including a multifuel turbine engine, sophisticated Chobham composite armor, a computer fire control system, separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment, and NBC protection for crew safety. Initial models of the M1 were armed with a 105 mm M68 gun, while later variants feature a license-produced Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44. The M1 Abrams was developed from the failure of the MBT-70 project to replace the obsolescent M60 tank. There are three main operational Abrams versions, the M1, M1A1, and M1A2, with each new iteration seeing improvements in armament, protection, and electronics.Cool video impressive as hell up until the little boy dance!Had to stop it thereeven the pilot she couldn’t watch.
