US Soldiers Upgrading Their Massive M1 Abrams Tanks with New Armor Plates 

That's the case with almost everything they export

Like any nation would give up their best armament to other countries or potentially having it stolen like the Chinese always do 😂 you aren’t very bright on these topics so sit down and do a little bit of research aint so hard 🤣😭 laughs in depleted uranium armor

Every country does that😂 heck china made a whole new tank just to export it😂

The leopard 2pso and the Abrams 1a2 both use the same gun

@@avoxy7440 It may be the same caliber. But it's about the length of the gun.

I agree this Tanks have become mobile coffins You only need an equipped and trained infantry force and light armor to transport soldiers،

nothing...

You do realize that we are always 10 steps ahead of everything you think you saw 😎

Why though?? Have they not caught on that tank on tank doesn’t matter as much anymore? Start coming up with armor and solutions to protect against FPV drones!!

The US doesn’t need drone protection. If you have air superiority there’s no need. The military doesn’t send units into battle spaces without it

​@brendenb13 I imagine it's not a very large number that have all the bells and whistles, active protection, era, up armored, with a drone jammer. It'd be nice though

Who see a video of TIGER 2 and you have the no question .

@@pedrohpires6608 Pedro could you please explain what you are attempting to say? Your reply makes absolutely no sense unless it’s a code I’m not familiar with.

these tanks can handle this.. it isnt ww2 with underpowered engines... but this is the same principle the ww2 german tanks did at the last few years with side skirt armor

The Abrams engine is literally a jet turbine, and the only reason it’s survived in its current state is due to just how powerful that engine is. It does have an impact, but it’s been manageable until the tank got too heavy to transport on trucks.

Omg have you never went to school or do you not understand BASIC problem solving???????? Is it not obvious extra weight answers ALL your questions? Survivability obv is up and the vid even said so, maneuverability is obv slower bc well OBV it has more weight, and mileage is OBV worse and so on and so forth. Are you looking for statistics or is this somehow too hard for you? I just don't understand how this would be difficult to understand 😂😂💀💀

to be absolutely honest the americans sent ukes inferior versions of that tank.

Yeah cause ya can't make anything better than china

@@notyocousin999 apparently neither can you.

@@notyocousin999 lmao thats why every country out there copys off our tek

❤Americans Love And Respect Russians❤

The base plating is rated for RPG-7 sideshots, the TUSK package gives near 1000mm RHA worth of cehmical protection and 40mm of kinetic, despite not even being a kinetic penetrator ERA package. You people use any argument you can find, no matter how stupid it is.

@@-Ryan_Gasoline-don’t forget the depleted uranium armor . Yea they aren’t that bright but they sure love to talk like they do 😂 from their 3rd world nation haha

Fair point, you’re absolutely correct. The DoD is actually working on the M1E3 variant right now because we’ve maxed the weight on the tank, it can’t be transported by trucks anymore without disassembly.

How? It’s not crudely made to have a rotating turret be limited to a fixed superstructure, ours can still rotate the turret around

@@RNKel1 Then why do M1's need more armor plates? You guys say it has unmatched armor but why add more armor. Why it need more armor if it's armor can withstand any weapon?

⁠@@isurumaddumage1922obviously it can’t stand every weapon but adding armor is usually good if it works well for the tank and crews safety. Idk who’s saying it can stand everything, because it’s obviously idiotic lol

Because America baby!​@@isurumaddumage1922

Absolutely does. Requires more engine power to maintain standard speeds. There’s a new variant in the works, M1E3, to rectify this problem.

@The_Black_Falchion Thanks . . . 1 more quick question , does it also affect the accuracy when firing ?

@@sameemas1723 It has no impact on accuracy. That’s entirely determined by the operating system of the gun, barrel harmonics, the type of ammunition, and heat.

@The_Black_Falchion cool . Thanks . Keep posting them good videos

Pretty sure this is footage of an older upgrade

Ah yes, compared to the Russian shit box that is the turtle. Most of which are already lost.

@@user-iw5vi8rx3g👈🤦‍♂️😆🇷🇺💩🤡🧚‍♀️😂

What difference does it make where it’s being done?

in the us they cant do that, too cheap for the military industrial complex 😆

It's impractical, it was used in the Philippines because they were in a severe need for protection against RPG rounds as they were fighting separate groups of isis fighters and others that constantly used Rpg's on their low armored tanks, which can be lit on fire and break very easily, there's also the fact that it degrades and chips especially in certain weather climates, so yes I'd want *REAL* armor that can withstand not only rpg rounds but the elements with an extremely low deterioration rate, it also mitigates the explosion of rockets to the tank unlike wood which can be highly unpredictable, if you can afford the best you can get the best. What you said is almost like saying "hey in Africa they try to make helicopters out of garden hoses and wood they stole from their neighbors fence but the US uses real parts because it's too cheap for the military industrial complex", use your brain bot. @@user-xz5ty2ti4i

Хватит уже некрофилом быть, уже новое время. Абрамс бережет экипаж, а русское железо - это жестянка смертников с улетом башни в стратосферу. Амеры еще не начинали, дали два десятка танков и всё, и то старых, которые не жалко. Все они видят и они со своим бюджетом всё сделаеют и переделают. Вот немцы передали Гепарды с дистанционно управляемыми кассетными пулями и гераням (шахедам) конец, не долетают уже, если Гепард их видит. Что амеры помогали выиграть ВОВ, то это не знать нужно быть дураком, даже сталин благодарил США, видео есть и он сказал, что если бы не помощь, то была бы печаль. ВИДЕО есть и документы благодарности. Да, Абрамс тоже подбить можно, но люди будут живы, техника бережет людей, а железо на войне - это расходник. Но для русских - люди это расходник.

@@TheVovaDen ну, из прекрасного Абрамса конечно только в рай, а из мордорских не выше стратосферы)))

Почему то русские в упор думают, что амеры или немцы умеют делать авто и самолеты, то не умеют делать танки ... Мотор дизель В-2 танка Т34 - это коза ворованная у немцев, разработка завода BMW. И прикол, что этот же мотор немного улучшенный стоит сейчас на Т-72, это даже сами русские говорят обозреватели и это видно. Старье короче тюнингованное, не новое, а по сути москвич чипованный старый, потому как новое лучше никто не может сделать.

You betcha

Yes, buddy. You are smarter and know better than a country with a trillion dollar defence budgets. Clown 🤣🤣

I guess these beasts will be turned into snails?

these tanks can handle the weight, whats funny is the germans 80 years ago did the same exact thing with side skirt armor

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 I kind of thought they could, but then they will only get one mile to the gallon?

They’re working on the M1E3 right now because the M1A2 SEPv4 is too heavy to transport on trucks anymore. They’ve maxed out the platform, so they’re working on consolidating the chassis

@@The_Black_Falchion kkkkkk. Busy indeed. wait they will unbolt it again

@@user-iw5vi8rx3g The Rus/Ukr conflict has proved that in the modern battlefield tanks OF BOTH SIDES are nothing more that easy, high value, sitting duck targets for drones that cost a TINY fraction of the cost of the tanks. Note that the Ukrainians have recently withdrawn their US M1A1s from combat due to losses. Also, look up "Russian turtle tank" being used as a crude countermeasure. The USMC was very wise to get rid of its tanks and the side armor they are upgrading in the video is not where the new threat comes from. It comes from above.

@@user-iw5vi8rx3g nah, US would win

Like thousands of Russian tanks turrets are flying in the sky

@@wanderingsoul3431 and half of these russian tanks were driven by ukrainians 🤣

Makes turrets fly

I think it is not going to be problem for US troops. It may be at the moment, but few years and drones loose the advantage they have now.

We will always strive for air dominance before forwarding armored elements.

@@user-xr6pl6bh7z That's true. But will that still be possible in the future? Perhaps the enemy will mine the areas with drones in the future...

@@nipe2121 Drone advances far faster than tank You obviously live in the past

@@user-xr6pl6bh7z The U.S. had air dominance in Vietnam and still lost

The copium is strong in this one, notice how there's effectively no difference with Russian tanks, to the point they have to add sheds on their tanks, essentally making them useless for combat other than being a glorified self-propelled gun. Drones in itself are making tanks obsolete and are making soldiers resort to trench warfare, which is why we should have outlawed them under the geneva convention in the first place.

The tensile strength of identical bolts will be identical. Tightening to different torques will result in different tensile stresses.

Stay behind ur computers

this is the best you can get in a tank nowadays. there is nothing you can do.

U saw an outdated M1A1, not an M1A2 that is the best tank rn for the US.

Haters will say m1a1 is outdated crap💀

@@tharuthkavinda American here 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅 the M1A1 is kinda outdated, I mean its armor is much worse than that of the M1A2 and its gun is much weaker… I’d take an M1A1 over that Russian junk any day however

@@HumanPhilosopherPatriot End of the day it doesn’t matter. A tank with a cannon of 105mm or higher with the right munitions is capable of destroying another main battle tank. Abrams tanks were always going to be lost, that was never in question. If we sent an M1A2 SEPv4 package it would still see loses.

@@SodaThunderrr an M1A2 SEPv4 would still die to the main gun of a T90/A/M. The Depleted Ukrainian Armor was to give it additional resistance against lighter Anti Tank Munitions, but a high velocity sabot round from a main gun would still penetrate. We don’t lose many because we’ve not been going up against too many large forces with modern weaponry. The Gulf War did not see any Abrams losses because the Bradley’s did most of the tank killing and our tanks had faster turret rotation and better optics systems. Faster target acquisition and higher accuracy, but the technology has caught up a bit from other conventional forces.

what i know is the ukrainians themselves were saying the abrams doesn't suit them. too heavy, too unreliable. they can't provide decent maintenance.

Um…okay? Since the Javelin is a US made weapon…

@@Av-vd3wk yes it is so no problems until the bad guys develop their own version, or buy them from the US

@@Av-vd3wk chinese got similar ones and also captured weapons can be used against us

russian bot forgot the javelin is an american weapon

@@JsphCrrll did you forget the possibility of captured javelins used against the m1?

Roof armor is made of unknown composite stuff, DU or titanium, whateverm which certainly adds to the protection, but I'm still betting on adding the same ERA they added to the sides to the top, and 38.1mm thick HHA on the UFP and LFP for frontal hull protection for Christ's sake, either than or 65mm of composite sheets, like they did with the side armor.

🇷🇺💪🏻🇷🇺💪🏻🇷🇺💪🏻🇷🇺💪🏻🇷🇺💪🏻🇷🇺💪🏻🇷🇺💪🏻

They're not, they're the same with Russian T-90s and T-80s, made around the same time too, we need upgrade, extra roof plating or ERA, and addition UFP and LFP plating.

Speed with that armor wont be that effected lol, abrams literally has a jet engine. it sure as hell will go more than 10 miles per hour

Better engine??? this thing already have a good engine lol.

M1X-Abrams X will be the last one, lighter, faster at over 90km/h, binary diesel electric power plant and with a 30mm autocannon.

I thought the Abrams-X was merely to show what we can make utilizing the tech and resources we have and wasnt actually the next upcoming tank.

Many videos all over the Internet of it crashing.

@@kingdavid1519 any from this year?

@@JsphCrrll I don’t know. I’m just a random guy. I don’t keep up with that kind of level of detail.

no the one in moscow is a M1A1.. from the the 1970s 1980s.. without any uppped armor the m1a2 has

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 Ah ok then the m1a2 is even more heavy?

@@berschte the added weight doesn't really affect the tank very much.

@@JsphCrrll Ok its already without the added weight 15 t heavier than a T 90. Maybe a disadvantage on a muddy terrain or in winter warfare with snow and ice?

Lmao, you mean the tanks from the 80's? M1A1s? M1s? Just because they look similar doesn't mean they're the same tank, same goes with older export T-72Bs and T-80s.

@@-Ryan_Gasoline- no I mean this video coming right on the heels of it. Looks overcompensating… and even the newest shiniest tank made is paper from a top down blast from a laser arty round or a 10k dollar fp drone. ALL Tanks need a complete redesign for modern warfare
