The Army’s New AbramsX Might Be the Best Tank Ever
 
Key Points and Summary on AbramsX - The M1 Abrams, America's legendary main battle tank, is facing a modern battlefield crisis, with devastating losses in Ukraine highlighting its vulnerability to drones and its ever-increasing weight becoming a logistical nightmare.

-In response, the Army has canceled the incremental SEPv4 upgrade in favor of a revolutionary new concept: the AbramsX. This lighter, faster, hybrid-electric "super tank" features a silent electric drive, an unmanned turret, and an active protection system.
 
-While still a prototype, the AbramsX represents a radical redesign driven by the brutal lessons of modern warfare and the urgent need to create a more survivable apex predator.

Meet the AbramsX: The 'Silent Killer' Super Tank Replacing the M1 Abrams
Initially introduced into U.S. Army service during the Cold War, the M1 Abrams was a significant upgrade over the tanks that preceded it. Combining a comprehensive armor protection package with vastly improved situational awareness and firepower, the Abrams has become the literal backbone of U.S. Army armored warfare since its introduction in the 1980s.

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
