Den M1 Abrams er en amerikansk tredje generasjons hovedstridsvogn oppkalt etter general Creighton Abrams. Svært mobil, designet for moderne pansret bakkekrigføring, er M1 godt bevæpnet og tungt pansret. Bemerkelsesverdige funksjoner inkluderer en kraftig AGT1500 multifuel turbinmotor, sofistikert komposittpanser og separat ammunisjonslagring i et utblåsningsrom for mannskapets sikkerhet. Med en vekt på nesten 68 korte tonn (nesten 62 tonn), er det en av de tyngste hovedstridsvognene i tjeneste.

Den M1 Abrams is a third-generation main battle tank developed by the United States. It entered service in 1980 and has been widely exported to several countries. The M1 Abrams is designed for modern armored warfare, with a powerful 120 mm smoothbore cannon, a sophisticated fire-control system, and a composite armor that provides high protection against various threats. The M1 Abrams also has a gas turbine engine that gives it high mobility and low thermal signature.
The M1 Abrams is constantly upgraded with new technologies and capabilities to maintain its edge on the battlefield. Some of the latest variants include the M1A2 SEPv3, which has improved survivability, lethality, and situational awareness, and the M1A3, which is expected to have a lighter weight, a new engine, and a more advanced networked system.
