The story of a steel legend
The M1 Abrams tank is a true icon of American engineering. Production began in 1980 and the vehicle was named after General Creighton Abrams, the charismatic commander of the 37th Armoured Battalion, who fought in World War II and later commanded the American forces in Vietnam. It was developed to combat the armoured forces of the Soviet Union. However, the tank was mainly used in conflicts in the Middle East. The first version of the American tank had a 105 mm cannon, and from 1985 a version of the Abrams with the designation M1A1 and a 120 mm cannon was produced under licence from the Federal Republic of Germany.
The birth of the M1A2
When the world needed even more precision, firepower and better situational awareness, the M1A2 Abrams appeared, the version of a legend. Entering service in 1992, the M1A2 offered a whole new level of command and control: an independent thermal imager, a modified commander's hatch and observation cupola, the ability to engage two targets simultaneously, and second-generation uranium armour. It was no longer just a tank, but a mobile fortress of the future, used by the armies of the USA, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Every element was designed to withstand the toughest conditions and secure an advantage in every battle.
