What is known about the M1 Abrams tank

The M1 Abrams tank is a main battle tank developed in the United States in the 1970s. It is equipped with a powerful 105 mm gun, later modified to 120 mm in the M1A1 and M1A2 versions. The tank has armor consisting of composite materials and actively uses active defenses, which provides high resistance to enemy attacks.

The M1 Abrams is characterized by high mobility thanks to a powerful gas turbine engine, which allows the tank to reach speeds of up to 72 km/h. It has modern electronics, including a computerized fire control system, which increases the accuracy of firing in combat conditions.

It should be recalled that the Defense Forces of Ukraine hit an important object of the Russian invaders on the night of October 7. Yes, defenders hit the sea oil terminal in Crimea.

In addition, Ukrainian soldiers once again used the "dragon drone", which burned the Russian invaders and broke the enemy's attack plans. The events took place near the settlement of Novotoretsk, Donetsk region.
