one of the most powerful tanks in the whole planet, the nerest content would be the Isreale Merkave, say what you will about the M1 can't hold a squad of troops with. then again the estern contry may have a trick i don't know about can't count them out.
Not quite. Although the cannon itself was designed by Rheinmetal, other auxiliary systems are American designed, and the entire system is built by Watervliet Arsenal.
I dont think that the tank is still a decisive weapon against infantry in the 21'st century man.Planes tend to be more and more decisive in a war but as in ww2 and Vietnam you cant defeat an enemy completely by bombing.
Many thought that tanks were absolete in the 60s but they are still a highly effective tools and the U.S. Military is planning on using M1s til atleast 2020 the LV 100-5 which is cooler,quiter and will cut maintance cost by 50% and I'm sure they will upgrade its gun to the L-55 and upgrade everything else on it
I disagree. Armor forces, especially armored cavalry, played a very important role in Vietnam. When the enemy primarily consists of infantry-based insurgents tanks can be tremendously effective tools.
The M1s lack of range has been proven to be a red herring. Either it's getting resupplied every 10 hours in sustained combat or it's not operating far enough from FOBs to matter.
And I'm still LOLing at "heat-seeking" antitank missles.
One time use does mean that warfare is going to change or should. Warfare of the future will involve battles between state forces and non-state entities. The non-state entities will find acquiring high-technology devices difficult to acquire and even more difficult to use.
@Enrage13 Warfare is always changing. In insurgency warfare one simply avoids the enemy's strong points and attacks his weaknesses-and everyone has those, no matter how powerful. As for high-tech devices, many can be locally-built and deployed. Any model plane buff could build and deploy drone aircraft, for instance. I expect those to produce air parity in most wars fought in the future.
A. There is no need to lecture me on insurgency warfare, especially something so basic. It's almost insulting.
B. The weakness of high-tech devices is not other high tech devices. A real insurgency isn't going to go after UAVs with locally produced UAVs, that's conventional symmetrical warfare and it's a stupid idea for the side with the poor technology. An insurgent will try and take out the operators sitting in a building with a $20 ex-Russian mortar.
I condemn this video for supporting the war in Iraq. You think tanks are cool? Well guess what...tanks are being used to slaughter millions of people in Iraq in this stupid war we are fighting.
Tanks aren't ment to give out cookies they are ment to KILL and hell blowing insurgents to hell kinda makes me sleep easy at night knowing they won't kill me
Iraq has a population of 24 million. There is no way in hell you can logically say that suffered casualties similar to Nazi Germany on a per-capita basis.
Jeez the video is old because there's an original A2 on there? Not only is there an M1A1 (older than an M1A2) theres an M1 (older) and the XM-1 (even older).

Sexiest tank video.

That's some pretty kick ass footage, especially that clip at the beginning where they hit that huge bump and the guy on top almost flops out.
Awesome.

Well tanks are fascinating indeed, but pure caterpillar driven tanks are dying out,
there are no huge tankwars anymore, nor
they will be
anti-tank missiles, mines, op/maint. costs
especially the m1 with it's turbo-engine
has a rather limited autonomous range, before
running out of fuel, the exhaust is especially
a target for heat seekers
but these tanks are held in service for only one reason "fear" making an impression on
the enemey mind.

sorry I was reffering to the MILAN
anti-tank-missile which is can be equiped
with an IR-Unit, I refered to it because,
when I remember correctly some information from isreal military indicate that the hisbolla used a MILAN against a tank in
Lebanon 2006.
