Of course.
M1A2 is the more advanced model.
Chuck Norris invented the M1A1 Abrams tank after one of his movies because he had nothing else to do.
M1A1 Abrams....yeah.....it's Americas MBT(Main Battle Tank)
this answer is not ture for many reason one. the m1a1 is a out dated verison of the m1a2 and the most advanced tank in the world is the British Challenger 2
4 m1a1 Abrams tank were destroyed, only in the first gulf war
The lifting capacity of a helicopter varies depending on the density of the air, however- a Chinook cannot lift an Abrams under ANY circumstances. The load capacity of a Chinook is around 11,5 tons. The M1A1 weighs 63 tons. Fail.
Yes, a private US citizen can own an M1A1 Abrams Tank, but it is highly regulated and complicated. While the tank itself can be legally purchased, ownership requires compliance with federal and state laws, including demilitarization of the vehicle to ensure it cannot be used as a functional weapon. Additionally, the cost of the tank and the logistics of maintenance and transportation can be prohibitive for most individuals.
M1a2 stats: 125mm smoothbore cannon,1500 hp and manual loader
the engine holds around 22 quarts and the tranny is about 32 gallons
The crew inside probably wouldn't even notice the hit.
The M1A1 Abrams tank is primarily manufactured in the United States. It is produced by the American defense contractor General Dynamics Land Systems. Some components and subsystems for the tank may also be produced by various subcontractors located in different parts of the United States.
M1A2 and M1A1 Abrams. There MIGHT still be some M60A3 tanks in use with the National Guard.
