The M1A2 Abrams is More Dangerous Than You Thought

The M1A2 Abrams is a third-generation American main battle tank. It is the primary tank used by the United States Army and Marine Corps, and has been exported to a number of other countries. The Abrams is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and dangerous tanks in the world.

The Abrams is protected by a combination of Chobham composite armor and depleted uranium armor. This armor is very effective at stopping enemy projectiles, including HEAT rounds and APFSDS rounds. Even if a projectile does penetrate the armor, it is likely to be deflected away from the crew compartment.
