The M1 Abrams is a main battle tank produced in the United States by General Dynamics. It is the main armored medium of the US Army, its Ma...rine Corps and the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Australia. It is named after General Creighton Abrams, commander-in-chief of US troops in Vietnam from 1968 to 1972, and chief of staff of the United States Army from 1972 to 1974. It is a well-armed and heavily armored vehicle, designed for modern armored warfare.5 The most notable features of the M1 Abrams include the use of a powerful gas turbine-based engine, the adoption of sophisticated composite armor, and a novel ammunition storage system in special compartments that In the event of an explosion, they redirect the force outwards, multiplying the crew's chances of survival. Weighing some 68 tons, it is one of the heaviest tanks in service today.
