AbramsX: The Future of U.S. Tanks or a Strategic Misstep?
Story by Jessica Taylor • 35m

Perhaps the greatest impediment to the U.S. Army's pursuit of its proposed AbramsX upgrade to the ageless M1 Abrams is that it strives to set a new standard. The M1 Abrams was first introduced during the 1980s and since then, has been the mainstay of the armored forces of the Army.

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

I guess the Army didn't learn it's lesson from the Stryker.  While the heavy 60+ ton battle tanks *probably* are obsolete due to drone technology, some type of mobile armored cavalry will be necessary to fight future wars if ground is expected to be seized and held, or retaken during maneuver warfare.  I remember when JCS Chairman Admiral Crowe came right out and said that he wanted to end procurement of the M1A1 because the Navy was sick and tired of hauling them around the world for the Army.  LOL!  Desert Storm shut him up.
