That Is Why Nobody Wants To Mess With This MBT

Throughout the annals of Modern Warfare, few machines have commanded as much respect and instilled as much fear as the main battle tank, from scorching deserts to dense forests, these steel behemoths have consistently dominated the battlefield, shaping the conflicts and tipping the balance of power. Join us as we delve deeper. Deep in the heart of armored warfare, exploring the evolving capabilities and lasting significance of the Abrams main battle tanks, the M1 Abrams main battle tank was developed by Chrysler Defense now General Dynamics Land Systems and production began in the 1970s. This main battle tank was named in honor. of General Abrams, commander of US forces during the Vietnam War, first entered service in 1980 and was produced for the US Army from 1978 to 1992, the M1A1 and its reproduction in 1985, followed by the M1 A2 in 1986 during Operation Desert Storm. 2,000 M1 tanks were manufactured April.

The M1 used proved to be far superior and not a single tank was destroyed by enemy fire since. The Army has modernized its M1 inventory with a series of upgrades to improve the tank's capabilities. The M1 ABS features composite armor similar to the British chabom featuring multiple layers of steel and ceramic It can also be fitted with explosive reactive armor The interior of the tank is lined with Kevlar which protects the crew from spalling The ammunition is stored in the Turret bustle with blowout panels Equipped with the M68 A1 105mm rifled gun that is manually loaded, the M1 is compatible with all standard 105mm NATO tank ammunition.

A total of 55 rounds are carried for the main gun, including 44 rounds stored in the turret bustle and 11 rounds stored in protective containers inside the room. This tank has modern fire control. System with a high probability of first hit, can destroy tank targets at a distance of 2 km while firing on the move. The secondary armament consists of a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. There is also a 12.7mm and a 7.62mm machine gun mounted on top. The roof, the M1 Abrams weighs 54.54%, 6.5 m wide and 2.38 m high, has a maximum road speed of 72.4 kmph and a range of 498 km. There are four crew members, including the driver, the gunner commander, and the ammunition loader on which the driver sits. the front of the tank inside the hole while the commander is inside the rotating turret the gunner sits at his feet the M1 abrs is powered by an avco Lycoming now Honeywell AGT 1500 gas turban engine developed with 1500 horsepower essentially it is A modified helicopter engine adapted for tank use, it is a multi-fuel engine that can run on any grade of gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel and kerosene.

This engine has impressive performance and is compact for its power, so although the Abrams tank is heavy and bulky, it is surprisingly agile. faster than many other tanks and has superior cross-country performance. Additionally, the motor is remarkably quiet due to

weapon is manually loaded and the ammunition load was reduced to 40 rounds due to the larger size, the M1 A1 Abrams has an effective firing range of more than 4 km, which is successfully demonstrated during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 Leopard 2 The Leopard 2 main battle tank was developed by Krauss MAF (now Krauss MAF Wagman) back in the 1970s, just a couple of years after the previous Leopard 1 entered service, in those days a clash between NATO and the Warsaw Pact and the West was possible.

The German army needed a well-protected tank that was superior to the models introduced in the Eastern Bloc. The first prototypes of the Leopard 2 were completed in 1972 in 1977 bundes. The Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany initially ordered 1,800 of these main battle tanks. Tanks to complement and replace the Leopard 1. The first production batch of 30 tanks was completed in 1979 and the Leopard 2 was adopted by the West German Army during the same year. At the time of its introduction, it was a very advanced and successful design. In 1993, the German Army operated a total of 2,155 of these main battle tanks.

The Leopard 2 Main ble tank is armed with a fully stabilized 120mm L44 smoothbore gun. The vehicle carries 42 bullets for the main cannon. 15 bullets are stored ready for use. In the bustle of the turret, while the driver stores the rest in the front of the room, the tank normally uses two main types of ammunition, armor-piercing rounds and multi-purpose rounds. The Germans estimated that their Leopard 2 tanks could penetrate the frontal armor of the Soviet T72 tank at a range of 2,000 M and the frontal armor of the T62 tank at a range of over 4,000 M. The secondary armor consists of two 7.62 mm machine guns. , one of them coaxial and the other mounted on the top of the roof.

The Leopard 2 has a crew of four, including the gunner commander, loader and driver, the tank is powered by a liquid-cooled MTU m873 k501 twin-turbo V12 diesel engine developing 14,1879 horsepower mated to a range transmission. hswl 354 with four forward gears and two reverse gears with a torque converter and is fully automatic and the driver selects the range. The Leopard 2 can travel at a maximum road speed of 72 kmph with a cruising range of 550 km. You can also equip yourself with a deep waiting kit after preparation. It can overcome water obstacles of up to 4 M. In the most extended version of the Leopard 2 family, the 2 A4 models included more substantial changes, including a new automated fire and explosion extinguishing system, a fully digital fire control system capable of handling new types of ammunition and an improved turret with more armor.

The Leopard 2 a7v is the latest version of the Leopard 2 A7 with improved protection, greater mobility, improved command and control, greater sustainability and more firepower being the reasons for the acquisition; However, the main reason for the introduction of the new variant of the main battle tank was the requirement of the German Army. Army for a larger number of Leopard 287 main battle tanks of which they only had 20 marava. The most advanced military weaponry is often attributed to powers such as the United States or Europe, but in fact it is Israel that is responsible for one of the most effective series of tanks.

The world has never seen that the marava tank is now in its fifth version and represents some of the most advanced developments in terms of armored vehicles on the planet. All tanks in the Marava range, from the prototype to the Markv, share a similar chassis. Automotive system and turret design. The differences come from the requirements priorities between mobility and firepower The first design that became the Marava Mark 1 showed the basic design had a triangular flat turret with typical armor protection cells installed on both sides of the gun The engine was mounted forward allowing the rear to have an access hatch, stores and flexible reconfiguration options. 9 years of development finally delivered the first version of the marava to the Israel Defense Forces.

The Mark 1 used a tadine continental avds 1796, a diesel engine delivering 98 horsepower and 60 tons. was slow, but remember that the priority was protection, not mobility, ammunition for the 105 mm gun was stored in special protected containers containing four bullets, the gun is loaded through a rear hatch, the tank had capacity To carry up to 62 different rounds, including the APF SDS Heat H frag and smoke rounds for additional protection there was a 7.62 mm machine gun, as well as two more 7.62 mm machine guns on the top of the roof. The tank could also be fitted with an external 60mm mortar that fired smoke illumination or anti-personnel rounds.

The first Marava was used in the Lebanon War of 19 1882, but by this stage the Mark I had already been developed to enter service. The rapid speed of this change was due to continuous development based on lessons and user feedback rather than a slow, linear operational testing process, the Mark I had new special armor modules installed on the sides and skirts of the turret to Further reinforce the protection of the tank. The Army kept the 105mm gun, but the tank was equipped with improved fire control and optronic equipment, leading to the same. level as a fully upgraded m6, but the main difference was that the marava offered superior protection.

The next version took longer to go live, but the differences were dramatic between the Mark II and the Mark II. It took 7 years in 1989 before they were introduced. Another new modular armor concept which meant armor could be quickly adapted to evolving threats. The tank eventually upgraded its cannon to a 120mm version produced by Israeli manufacturer IMI. The upgraded mg 253 cannon has been updated to fire the latest ammunition types, including the AP fds Sabo. ammunition the main 12.7mm machine gun was also upgraded and fired longer and heavier H rounds as well as a new gun there was also a new 900 horsepower diesel engine that was developed by the German firm MTU this new iteration had the latest improvements in modular detachable armor and included another fire control improvement with the addition of the Lop Knight markv fire control system.

This was a key improvement to help with aerial threats. Another improvement included the elbot battle management system where interaction and battlefield awareness was greatly improved. tank protection improvements where vulnerable parts were strengthened to increase Urban Warfare efficiency, including the turret roof and V-shaped belly to deal with landmines and better deflect explosions, possibly the largest improvement is the use of smart technology and the integration of the trophy's active protection system designed to counter the most advanced anti-tank missiles, rocket-propelled grenades, anti-tank rockets and high-explosive anti-tank rounds. The trophy can create a bubble around the vehicle to neutralize all these threats.

It can also quickly detect, classify and engage all known chemical energy threats, including recoilless rifles, anti-aircraft missiles, rockets, heat tank rounds and RPGs. This is the awesome marava tank. It has taken five decades to produce one of the most advanced tanks in the world, which was born from the need for Israel to have its own combat vehicle for its own terrain K2 Black Panther In terms of expensive and advanced tanks, it is difficult to look beyond of the K2 Black Panther South Korea's main armored vehicle has been an essential recent addition to its Arsenal. Constant tensions with its rival north of the border.

This means that the K2 is a useful asset to have in reserve in case any problems arise. Development began in 1995. The first prototype was revealed in 2007 after testing. The initial contract for 100 tanks was signed in 2014. This was worth $820 million two years later. The tanks would enter service, the requirement was then for up to 300 tanks in total. The eventual requirement to be able to eliminate the previous models is more than 600 K2 tanks. One of the main advantages of the build was the ability to export the machine, as it was completely South Korean. -This has borne fruit as Poland purchased 980 K2 tanks in 2022 that were delivered that same year.

The tank is extremely resistant. This is due to its modular composite armor and explosive reactive armor blocks. It has been claimed that the frontal armor can tolerate direct hits. Based on 120mm tank rounds fired from L55 cannons, the K2 is also completed with an active protection system and a countermeasures system. In addition, the tank has a nuclear, biological and chemical protection system. The design of the Black Panther is orthodox with the driver's compartment on top. forward fighting compartment in the middle and engine and transmission in the rear the K2 has a crew of three with a driver at the front of the pit with the commander and gunner sitting in the turret the 120mm cannon also has the ability to fire a variety of ammunition All standard NATO tank shells can be fired from the K2.

It is also capable of firing new Korean smart top attack ammunition projectiles. Other features of the tank include a deep holding kit that allows the vehicle to cross rivers and other water obstacles up to South Korea's previous 4.2 M Deep tanks were unable to do this. The K2Black Panther represents the cutting edge of tank technology. It was designed to be future-proof and de-emphasize the typical strengths you would associate with a tank it might be. Seen as one of the world's first smart tanks, everything about this vehicle is designed to attack the enemy in an intelligent manner while minimizing damage and impact to friendly troops.

The K2 is a symbol of what is to come on the battlefield, but as far as the present is concerned, it is one of the most advanced and expensive tanks that military money can buy: the Challenger 2, the FV 4034 Challenger 2 is a British third-generation main battle tank in service with the armies of the United Kingdom and Oman, it was designed and built by the British company Vicker's Defense. systems now known as BAE Systems Land and Armaments This tank was developed as a private venture to replace the previous Chieftain main battle tank and is a further development of the Challenger.

The Challenger 2 is the British Army's main battle tank that entered service in 1998. One of its strengths lies in its ability to hit the enemy under pressure through a rapid, fully engaged advance, causing it to break and break. remove, although the entire assembly and automotive parts of the Challenger 2 are based on those of its predecessor, the Challenger 1, the new tank incorporates more than 150 improvements that have achieved substantially greater reliability and maintainability. This tank is one of the most protected tanks in the world. Provides a very high level of protection against direct fire weapons. The tank has a crew of four with the driver located in the center. front room and three crew members in the turret with the commander sitting on the right, the gunner in front and below the commander and the loader on the left side, the turret is protected with second generation choam armor, too known as doorchester, which provides greater resistance to penetration by anti-tank weapons.

The main armament of the Challenger 2 consists of a 120 mm long rifle tank gun, caliber 55, called l30 A1, equipped with a smoke extractor with thermal sleeve and a system mouth reference. This weapon is capable of firing a wide variety of standard 120mm NATO tank ammunition. The weapon is manually loaded and has an effective firing range with armor-piercing projectiles of more than 3,000 M. The Challenger gun claims the destruction of tanks at the greatest distance in history during the Gulf War it defeated an Iraqi tank at a distance of 4 km Mounted coaxially to the left of the main gun are the ATK gun systems The company's 7.62mm chain gun, already in service with the British Army and now installed on the Alvis vicer Warrior mechanized combat vehicle, It is mounted on both sides of the front of the turret with a bank of 5 Theal 66mm AFV systems and electrically operated smoke grenade dischargers covering.

A further 7.62mm machine gun can be found mounted in the front arch of the vehicle. the loader hatch. The Challenger 2 has a 1200 horsepower 12-cylinder Perkins Caterpillar C V12 diesel engine and a David Brown tn-54 gearbox with six forward gears and two reverse gears. The vehicle is suspended on a hydron Second generation hydrogas development air suspension system The tank has six aluminum wheels and the drive sprocket on the rear guide wheel at the front and two return rollers on each side of the part The upper part of the track is covered by conventional aluminum skirts. The maximum speed on the road is 59 kmph and 40 km per hour cross-country thanks to a fuel capacity of 1,592 L.

Its maximum operating range gives us 450 km on the road and 250 km off-road only with internal fuel It could also receive rear external fuel cans for a range of 550 km. The KF 51 is based on the hull of the Leopard 2a4, so it has a conventional design for an MBT where the design of the KF 51 differs from the previous generation of Western MBTs. Introduces a new two-person turret equipped with an auto-loading main gun. The rear of the turret houses magazines for the main gun's autoloader and loitering ammunition pods, if equipped. The Panther has a combat weight of 59 tons, making it lighter than most Western ones.

MBTS developed before 2022, the power pack tracks and most of the undercarriage are believed to be derived from those of the Leopard 2a4. The maximum speed of the Panther has not been revealed, but it has a maximum range of 500 K. The KF 51 Panther is said to have three layers of passive, reactive and active protection, the innermost layer consisting of welded steel armor covered by passive armor modules, the second layer comprises a sensor-based reactive armor, while the final layer consists of the rhin Metal Strike Shield active protection system or APS, the Panther is equipped with eight rhin metal rapid darkening systems or Rosy smoke grenade launchers mounted in staggered rows of two behind the central chamber casing on each side of the turret, the main armament of the KF 51 is a stabilized 130 mm rh13 l51 smoothbore cannon that can be elevated by 9° at plus 20° the R130 can fire stabilized armor-piercing fins to dispose of Sabo ammunition airburst programmable high-explosive projectiles and practice the secondary armament consists of a coaxially mounted 12.7 mm machine gun a remotely operated weapons station can be mounted on the rear of the turret roof to provide close defense and unmanned aircraft system capability.

One option for this is the rhin metal n which can be armed with a 7.62mm cannon that can be elevated from -5° to plus 85°.
