The M1 Abrams is the US main battle tank.
Serially produced since 1980.
It is in service with the US Army and Marine Corps, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and Australia.
Named after General Creighton Abrams.
The development of the new tank, which later received the designation XM-1, began immediately after the closure of the XM803 program at the end of 1971.
To reduce technological risk, it was decided to make a new tank according to the classical scheme with a crew of 4 people and with a high ballistics cannon as the main armament.
The 105 mm M68 rifled gun, the British 110 mm rifled gun and the German 120 mm smoothbore gun were considered for the role of the latter.<
