The Army’s M1 Abrams Tank Summed Up in 4 Words
 
Key Points - The M1 Abrams main battle tank has undergone significant evolution since its 1980 service entry to remain a dominant force.

-The original M1 featured a 105mm gun, Chobham armor, and a gas turbine engine.

-The M1A1 (1985) introduced a more powerful 120mm smoothbore cannon and improved armor.
 
-Subsequent M1A2 variants and System Enhancement Packages (SEPs) incorporated digital fire control, advanced networking, depleted uranium armor, and enhanced protection against IEDs.

-Despite a mixed performance in Ukraine (attributed to lack of combined arms support), ongoing development of future M1E3 and AbramsX concepts aims to ensure its continued relevance.

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
