The M1 Abrams tank was developed in the 1970s as a replacement for the M60 tank of the Vietnam era. It was designed to take on the Soviet T-72 tank on the plains of Europe. With its then classified Chobham armor and a 105mm main gun, it was a major improvement over the M60.
The M1A2 version added some improvements to help some weaknesses in the original design. The biggest improvement was replacing the 105mm gun with a 120mm.
While it never saw action against T-72s in Europe, it has seen action in Panama, Grenada, Kuwait, and Iraq. In Kuwait and Iraq it proved its abilities and racked up a number of kills with almost no losses.
This remote control vehicle recreates this awesome tank with realistic sounds and movement. The detailed hull complete with a commander sitting in the top hatch gives a realistic look to the model.
