Evolution of Abrams Main Battle Tank (M1 Abrams to AbramsX)

Evolution of Abrams Tank (M1 Abrams to Abrams X)
Video Description: There are three main operational Abrams versions, the M1, M1A1, and M1A2, with each new iteration seeing improvements in armament, protection, and electronics. Let us see how the Abrams have evolved right from the M1 which entered service in 1980 up to the Abrams X which will enter service in the foreseeable future.

US's tanks are strong but too heavy

[Vstromxt]

I was a 19e and 19k . Our Squadron was the first to receive the M1A1 back in late 85 early 86. Big step up from the M60A1.

[amandagiannini]

The m1 is a fantastic platform designed from the start to accommodate a changing world . arguably the most battle tested tank in the world and a damn fine record to boot.there is argument that the challenger has a better record, but to be fair the challenger in the Gulf war was deployed in far fewer numbers and saw far fewer engagements .

Only issue is the AbramsX isn't an actual official Govt program, it's just a concept car (tank version) built by General Dynamics as a technology demonstrator. It's not bought by the Army, and only like one or two exist. Bits of it will likely be incorporated into future Abrams (M1A3?) but as is, the Abrams X itself is not going to be adopted (considering the Sep v4 itself isn't expected to enter service for a couple of years anyway, by the time the next model is coming out it'll be the 2030s and even AbramsX will be old news)

I started out on the XM1 in 1981 when I got out in 1989 We had M1 A1

[georgepalmer]

Maybe you could network M1's with drones overhead in the open, and with drones adapted to functioning in cities in built up areas.

[Jack-skmp]

I know it's a game and all but in reality it is cool that there is a functioning ejection system on a helicopter.

I just love m1 abrams tanks are my favorite

[markdwighttadina]

There was a variant of M1 Abrams called M1 Thumper which a variant with 140mm turret gun but was never developed

[person-iepx]

I hope one day she uploads a video of the evolution of leopards >:3

[redmustangredmustang]

Now the M1A3 version is going to be in development. How much will the Army use the Abrams X model with the unmanned turret, that will be interesting to see.

[robertcarlosllenarizas]

I rather trust heavy model than lighter one. Increase survivability of tank crews inside... i go for it. Instead of inferior ones...

Abram X is a demonstrator. The US is currently not looking for an upgrade.

[jondeere]

The upgrades to the M1A2 was funded by Saudi Arabia. The Marine Corp refused to use it because it removed the manual controls from the tank.

[CausticLemons]

Imagine if they could get the new adaptive cycle engines for the F-35 to replace the existing turbine in the M1 Abrams. Super Abrams incoming!!

[BRANFED]

abrams x is a demonstration model and has not been ordered by the us military.. at best, the us military might use some of the features such as the modular powerpack and upgrade current m1's

[SlumberBeark]

does anyone know if they keep upgrading the chassis so that technically there could be M1 tanks from 1980 still in service?

[MilitaryPlayer]

You’d want to team with the Abrams rather than be the enemy…

[tasman]

You forgot to mention the instalation now in the V3 and will be on the V4 and furture Abrams. The trophy APS system.
