The New M1A2C Abrams Tank Will Be Unmatched 

What T-14? It's a prototype they built ~20 of. They deployed 3 in Syria, which were killed by TOW. Abrams sure has nothing to fear from it.

A tank is only as good as it’s operator! The M1A2 Cis an awesome battle tank but their operators are trained far better than any other country!

You know there is a Leopard 2 A7 around? It will be very well matched...

Tanks should never operate alone. You need dismounted infantry and air/artillery support.

Amazing video! I love how you are improving the design and style of the videos you do! Keep doing it so well and bringing top quality videos!

The ability to launch mini drones....

it's all about an integrated battle plan, including tanks, IFVs, air support, artillery, medvac, communications, fuel resupply, and supplies. take any of these out, and you are inferior to the enemy who has all these factors covered regardless of what tank you field

Thank you from Amsterdam.

Im really surprised by the insane weight increase over the years. The current Sep 3 version is well over 70 tons and over the limit for many bridges.

The T-14 is a paper tiger. They only exist on paper. Let's delete that category.

It has been stated that if supplied to the Ukrainians, the Abrams tank is more difficult to maintain because of its gas turbine engines which is highly sophisticated and needs special training for the technicians in comparison with the diesel engines of the Challenger and Leopard tanks.

One tip: the audio dubbing whenever you’re talking sounds a bit off. The fades should be a bit smoother

Well there is a V4 variant of the Abrams so it might be the M1A3 designation. But there's also the AbramsX (Upgrade) which is a real overhaul, so it also might be it.

Such a beauty!

Yes as long the enemy not has enought with antitank weapons,they are very efficient today.

Cool Thank 👍

The Abrams weakness is it Engine.

A consumer grade quadcopter could just fly to the gun barrel and spray epoxy into it.

M982 Excalibur tech. Game over.

somehow was missing the Korean K2 Black Panther in the comparison. Seems to be pretty competitive and available - Poland chose it over the Abrams and the Leopard 2. The new KF51 Panther of course also still is prototype level like the M1A3. Would be interesting, if Germany would restock the Leopard 2 given to Ukraine with KF51...

Tanks operating entirely by themselves is a good way to get destroyed by infantry. The very first thing he said was wrong, but he said it confidently, so I guess that's all matters. 🤷‍♂️

I was in the first battalion to receive the original M1 Abrams in 1980 in West Germany. That tank was so much better than the M60's we turned in it wasn't funny. But compared to today's M1 it is old baby lol.

If only Patton had an Abrahms... probably wouldnt have our current problems

It's crazy that the Abrams has been in production for 30 years and still doesn't have a laser warning receiver. That should have been a priority years ago.

The only problem with sending these Abrams to Ukraine is the engine. What is crazy is that these tanks have a modular design that allows the engines to be easily swapped out, and we have a diesel engine available that was just decided not to be used. Crazy!

Since the British Challenger 3 wont be there yes it wont be matched but i still wouldnt want to take on the CH2 in this …

I'm confused. I thought the Abrams X is the latest brand new version?? This was not mentioned here.

I often wonder why diesel engines is not used into Air craft? Like planes and Helicopters ? They can fly as well! More dependable than gasoline engines. They use turbos as well

A Smokey black Abrams would look good

Okay, so you say that the tank is NOT unrivaled, but the graphics on screen say the opposite. And you couldn't pick a picture of an M1A2 without crew climbing all over it? What in the world

what happened with the sep4?

Wagner group need to slide only one Molotov cocktail in it's path to put this tank up in flames

3:55 Why did it take six years from the start of manufacturing to delivery? I know this stuff doesn't happen over night......but six years!?

I would have serious doubts about a 50 years old construction though.

What is the gas mileage on M1A2C?

Optumumly you need jet fuel to run those things.

How many miles per charge?

M1A2C = M1A2 SEPv3 M1A2 SEPv4 is already in prototype

The new Abrams does not have the most sophisticated Chobham armour: only the Challenger has that.

The ak47 is by far the most battle tested weapon in history...

Not to talk about one of the most sophisticated Soviet tank designs, talking about the T-80 MBT (also powered by a gas turbine and capable of launching ATGM from the main cannon). Due to this, it was also considered as the main opponent to the M1 Abrams and other similar Western MBTs.

Lost me when the Armata joined the chat. Armata as it stand will never be deployed in any effective way or number.

No tank would match this one but the Russian antitank weapons would.

Objection the prices of the American weapons and arms are the highest it's too much expensive and it came with political terms which is sometimes difficult and way over some countries

So is the Army going to upgrade the main gun from 120mm to 130mm?

The T14 has never been battle tested so it’s not the best tank until it has been use in battle and survives that battle

The M1A3 will be the world's #2 tank in the world behind the German Panzer ! #1 Russian Armata # 3 Challenger #4 China next , but way behind ! All these MBT are still just in the early production stages ! It remains to be seen how many are produced ! Armata is the early leader ! DML

It will still go boom when an ATGM hits it.

I hope our dementia patient in chief doesn’t give it away to our enemies who bought him off!

Why do some Abrams have two MGs on the turret (plus the coaxial MG) isn’t that a bit too much?

0:41 surprised to see the spelling in your slide wrong... it's called an "ABRAMS"!

Yeah, give it a new name Homer Simpson

We also gotta remember this weapons also sometimes in battles they never meet thier rival like tanks to tanks fight ,,it's not always ,, example the Japanese built Yamato to encounter the Iowa class but yet she was destroy by the bomber planes of US,, same as Tirpits...

Um, how do you shoot two targets at the same time with one gun? That said, if the Abramsa was deployed in Europe, it would be in deep trouble.

Why are we fighting Tanks ? Four man crew all the fuel and maintenance to keep it going

Maybe someone can help me understand why the unprotected rear-most wheel isn’t a dangerous vulnerability. I know little about tanks, but it seems like one decent shot would make it stuck in place and a sitting duck.

If the tank operator dies suddenly, then what good is the fancy tank?

Abrams is okay, if you have a whole oil refinery in tow, too !

Tanks for watching!

How would it handle a hit by a rail gun ?

As long as this vehicle still uses only the 120mm L/44 it`s still a 1970th tank and outdated and especially outgunned against modern, korean and european users of 120mm L/55 and 130mm.

just until it needs repairs or service

When it comes to near peer tanks it will come down to tactics and crew skill. Both of which US/NATO tank crews have an edge.

Wanna know what the difference is? We have generational tank boy knowledge and skill in additional to superior weaponry

What ever happened to the engine replacement they were talking about ? Replacing the incredibly thirst gas turbine with a diesel that would not only be more fuel efficient, but have 200 more HP

I'll take the T14- Armata over the Abrams because it comes standard with the Ukrainian farm tractor tow attachment.

Best part is we will finally get definitive proof of superiority of the Leopard 2. Except not really because neither Germany nor USA will send their latest and greatest versions of their tanks. There will always be room for hardliner patriots to claim their countrys tanks are better no matter the outcome.

US tanks need redesign: lighter, battery/hybrid power, more fuel efficient engine probably diesel is better

There's no such thing as an M1A2C (or D). It was a momentary error on the part of defense officials. The only proper title for these tanks right now is SEPv3 and SEPv4.

we need abrams x

If these tanks are so great why the need to try and fix something that isn't broken. Makes sense to upgrade what you already have.

The T14 Armada can’t even perform in a Russian parade without breaking down. 😂😂😂😂

M1-A2 Looks like the turret has to turn to line up on a target. Can anyone confirm this? The inability of a gun to swivel independently can be crucial.

The newest Abrams tank ! Have gone to Diesel engines!

I think the mistake the author makes is relying on reported Russian stats for their military hardware. It's a given they are prolific liars, so when you base comparisons on lies, well it's pretty much a worthless comparison

Tank is no good without fuel.

Abraham X...will be unmatched.

Its over 40 years old.

Lotta tank "experts" in the comments I see

The M1 was a “loyal supporter” during the gulf wars? Not sure these words mean what you think they mean.

I don't believe the Russian M14 is on the same level as the Abrams M1ad. The experts said the dameinthing about the the the Russian T-90 tank. But the Abrams shot the hell out of the T-90 durning the war in the middle East. So until these two tanks meet on the battle field the rRussian m-14 is still unproven. I would not bet against the Abrams.

RPG 7, $17 per shot

I still think the M1A2 is the best battle tank in the world BUT it will soon inevitably lose that title The question is who will take the throne? I dont think European tanks will simply because European countries usually dont end up combat testing their stuff very much and are less present in warfare in general and i dont think the eastern countries have the necessary understanding and experience in armored warfare to make the ultimate battletank That leaves only a few countries; mainly the US and Russia However Russia lacked resources to truly mass produce a proper new generation MBT for years and we are not going to see a new American tank until they develop new alloys or require a radical design change

To heavy for the terrain and for the bridges

The Ukraine was is causing a reevaluation of all combat forces around the world. The vulnerability of the MBT to shoulder fired weapons and drones will require either a rethink of the armor, counter-measures, or augmenting tank platoons with counter-measure forces akin to the hunter-killer integration of M2s with M1s in Companies.

Especially with AI enhancement, anti-tank missiles outrageously marginalize the effectiveness of battle tanks, even as storied as this one. Gravity also a severely disadvantages this tank in any kind of deep-mud/snow, more problematically in hilly country. The second law of thermodynamics increasingly makes this weapon a white-elephant.

I think if we are to be realistic we have to completely drop the T-90 from the list.The T-14 Armata is also a complete joke. If you want to put tanks you can't field on the list then you might as well start adding all sorts of fantasy concepts on here that never made the drawing board. Strongly doubt the small portion that are produced are of any serious quality, either. "It is worth to note that the Abrams can no longer assume the inferiority of opposing tanks," if we are looking at countries that might be hostile to the USA then it sure still can. There are few countries that can sustain as many heavy armour units as the USA so the only time when you need to be concerned if you are suddenly facing an ally with comparable MBTs. That said, keep upgrading it to make sure it stays ahead and keep making sure we can supply allies with them in times of need. The Abrams family of tanks can make a huge difference on the ground.

T-14 is a paper tiger

Until one of enemies missiles blows it to smithereens! Anachronistic weapons of wars gone past! Irrelevant in future wars

Shoot 2 target at once ? 4:07

Armata is on paper.

I quickly noticed that the Abrams is "One of the best". So they know about the European Leopard tank😁

all tanks no matter how good they are in battle & with new high tech drones these tanks are nothing but moving coffins.

superior to farmers who used ak-47

This isn't really new my unit was using it in 2020

Seems the Abrams tanks have only been used in desert sandy countries so far. How will they perform in the muddy Ukraine?

It's unmatched if it doesn't have to worry about being hunted by birds of prey we always have air superiority what if it was harrased consistently by agm hellfires and tow missiles and javelin? Or ...daisy chained artillery rounds buried road side by goat herders.

It will be if American the crew is inside. Otherwise will be like any other burning can.

Abrams is powered by a gas-turbine - requiring basically aircraft-level technicians + it’s own aircraft fuel supply lines. Abrams require 2-3hours of maintenance for every 1hour of operational use

Except by challenger 3
