Abrams Main Battle Tank History:

The M1 Abrams or Abrams Main battle tank is a military tank produced in the United States. The Abrams entered service in the U.S. during 1980, replacing the M60 Patton and M48A5.

The Abrams features a well armed, heavily armored and highly mobile offensive armored ground warfare. Other features include the use of powerful gas turbine engine, a sophisticated composite armor and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety.

The Abrams was designed by Chrysler Defense. An improved version of the M1 was the M1A1, which was introduced in 1985. While the M1A2 was a further improvement of the M1A1 with a commander's independent thermal viewer and weapon station, position navigation equipment, digital data bus and a radio interface unit.

During World War II, an average of 17 rounds took a Sherman Tank to destroy an enemy tank 700 meters way. Though Abrams remained untested in combat until the Gulf War in 1991, a total of 1,848 M1A1s were deployed in Saudi Arabia. The M1 Abrams is capable of making kills at 2500m range. The M1A1 Battle Tank also proved to be effective in the Gulf War.

Further upgrades include depleted uranium armor for all variants.

During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm and for Bosnia, some M1A1s were modified with armor upgrades.

There are over 8,800 M1 and M1A1 tanks produced at $2,350,000-$4,300,000 per unit depending on the variant.
