Abrams VS T 90

The M1 Abrams is a main battle tank produced in the United States. The M1 is named after General Creighton Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and Commander of US military forces in Vietnam from 1968 to 1972. It is a well armed, heavily armored, and highly mobile tank designed for modern armored ground warfare.[3] Notable features of the M1 Abrams include the use of a powerful gas turbine engine, the adoption of sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. It is one of the heaviest tanks in service, weighing in at close to 70 short tons.

The M1 Abrams entered U.S. service in 1980, replacing the 105 mm gun, full tracked M60 Patton main battle tank.[4] It did, however, serve for over a decade alongside the improved M60A3, which had entered service in 1978. Three main versions of the M1 Abrams have been deployed, the M1, M1A1, and M1A2, incorporating improved armament, protection and electronics. These improvements, as well as periodic upgrades to older tanks have allowed this long-serving vehicle to remain in front-line service. It is the principal main battle tank of the United States Army and Marine Corps, and the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia. The M1A2 Abrams, is the worlds most powerful tank.
The main armament of the original model M1 was the M68A1 105 mm rifled tank gun firing a variety of high explosive anti-tank (HEAT), high explosive, white phosphorus and an anti-personnel (multiple flechette) round. This gun is a license-built version of the British Royal Ordnance L7 gun. While being a reliable weapon and widely used by many NATO nations, a cannon with lethality beyond the 3 kilometer range was needed to combat newer armor technologies. To attain that lethality, projectile diameter needed to be increased. The M68A1's performance in terms of accuracy and armor-piercing penetration is on par with the M256A1 up to 3 kilometers out, but beyond that range the 105 mm projectile lacks the kinetic energy to defeat modern armor packages. This gun is the worlds most leathal, and accurate gun in service today. The Abrams can hit a target the size of a foot ball, from 2 miles away.

Fun fact.

Germans and Americans built made a tank project each, the Germans the Leopard II the Americans the Abrahams..

The Leopard won the competition, but the Americans simply didn't want to buy tanks from their "old enemies" xD

"Will be fun to see the Americans drive through summer corn fields.. the gasoline engines will put them in blaze" - some German engineer... Aah fun times.

People keep taking up desert storm.. How can they even claim it was an.. challenge?

Actually, during Desert Storm, 4 M1A1 Abrams were destroyed, along with a couple of M2 Bradelys. The T-90 doesn't "expose" its ammo; it's because the rounds are located around the bottom of the turret. The explosion forces the turret up and out. "Mind if you do some research?

1) Bigger target is more easy to hit. Small tank is more easy to hide. T-90 can dig a trench for itself in 5 min.

2) T-90 can fire by guded missles from it's main gun on 5km distanse and hit its target very exactly. Abrams can't. So, who cares that Abr gun is more accurate?

So, in a duel fight in a open field Abrams will not have a chanse. In a city, you don't need accurate gun.

3) 9 tankists in 3 T-90 vs 9 tankists in ... only 2 Abrams.
