Meet The ‘New’ M1 Abrams SEPV4: The Tank That Might Make Russia Sweat Bullets

By Maya CarlinPublished4 hours ago

 s.
While many pieces of military equipment within the U.S. arsenal have been replaced by new technologies, the Army’s M1- Abrams Main Battle Tank (MBT) has only required upgrades over the years to stay relevant. This powerhouse of a tank has remained in service for over four decades and is widely considered one of the most formidable vehicles on the planet. The M1 Abrams is also battle-tested as it saw combat in America’s initial invasion of Iraq in 2003 and in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province in 2010.

Three main variants of the Abrams exist, although each variant has a large number of sub-variants that make the MBT a versatile vehicle.

The newest M1A2 SEPv4 variant has been under development since March and will embody the most lethal tank in the Abrams family to date.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
