Description
The M1 Abrams main battle tank was deployed in 1980. Its main armament was a 105mm gun with 55 rounds, with a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and a commander's 12.7mm and a 7.62 machine guns on the turret's roof. The M1 Abrams carries 11,400 rounds of ammunition for its 7.62mm machine guns. The 12.7mm gun with 900 rounds of ammunition provides protection against airborne threats such as low-altitude, low-speed aircraft and helicopters. In late 1990s the US Army had converted more than 948 M1 to the M1A2 configuration. Eventually, the basic M1 tanks were upgraded to the M1A2 standard or retired from active duty.
