Problems with Abrams tank

So many people complaining about me not stating the problems the Soviet or German tanks have or used to have... Honestly people, this is a video where I simply point out the problems that M1 used to have or still has, if you want to hear about the problems about Russian tanks watch the "Problems with T-90", or "Problems with T-72" or "Problems with Russian tanks". This is a video about Abrams, not about other tanks, when I bring up another nation I am simply pointing out that the thing I am mentioning did exist at the time, but was not present on the vehicle that is the topic of the video.
Also, so many people are saying that gas turbine is for some reason better than diesel... There is no evidence to prove that it requires less maintenance, that is one myth that is spread around the internet for some reason but is not true. One has to work with both engines of similar performance (like MTU MB 873 and AGT1500) for an extended period of time in order to come to such a conclusion. Another point I saw being made constantly is that "US has enough money/resources to use the gas turbine"... I never said US did not, but if it has enough money to keep the turbine, then it means that the diesel wouldnt change that fact, you would only have to refuel your tank on less occasions.
Another point I saw is that you could use "captured fuel" or some other fuel if you dont have access to your armies supplies... First of all, diesel engines are pretty much universal around the world, so there is 99% chance that the enemy is using diesel, and if not diesel, then gasoline, and multi-fuel diesels can use gasoline as well. Second thing is that if you dont have access to army supplies you would most likely use the civilian fuel, which is, again, diesel and gasoline. The point of Gas Turbine engines is that they can produce more power for their volume, that is the reason why Soviets decided to go for a gas turbine with their T-80 tanks. Their diesel engines are small and for a long time couldnt produce a lot of power at all (780-840hp compared to 1100-1250hp of gas turbines) so their use of gas turbine was completely justified. But when AGT1500 was developed there was already a diesel engine of similar performance that took up as much space, since both engines are really big compared to soviet ones, and thus, much better. Therefore there was no actual need to go for a gas turbine, the actual reason is more of a political nature.

the best and most proven tank in the world

There were many initial problems with the M1, but it didn’t take long to arrive at M1A2, which solved many of the problems. The M1A2 arrived in 1992, just 11-12 years after the original.

Did not enter service in 1981. It much later. The M60 variants was the MBT for the US Army.

oh no! my engine is not fuel efficient! at least I can reverse and even though I weigh 25 tons more than certain other tanks, I can go 20 MPH faster over terrain! oh dear me! I cost more than most other tanks! that would suck, but at least the GDP per capita in the 90's was $23,888 vs the $9,200 of a certain someone!

Hier der Pegasus Roboter Darcho Jandreoski direkt an der Saudi-Arabien Staaten Front die Saudi-Arabien Staaten haben gerade neue Boden Boden Raketen aufgemacht schussweite 12 bis 15 km

Not mentioning that depleted uranium causes a lot of damage to crew and equipment over long periods of time

I see you have a grievance with the gas turbine engine but you should know that the reason we use a gas turbine engine is because the abrams is considerably heavier than many of its counterparts especially eastern competition. The abrams i believe actually produces slightly more horsepower per ton than the Leopard 2A7 and also has a longer operating range. The engine is also simpler and easier to maintain.

The upper plate or the abrams gives me severe anxiety 😖

The upper front plate literally never mattered because the 120 rounds by All nato tanks could cut through Russian front plates just as fast

Congrats on only ever showing gulf war friendly fire incidents

All of these problems lasted for the first 15 production models before it was fixed

They didn’t go for the German engine because the turbine provide more acceleration, weight load and better reliability.

You should listen to yourself sometime….you turn things to your narrative. Soviet = numbers. NATO = better

Makes a video stating the problem of a western tank 😁
Red effect when someone does the same thing for a Russian tank 😡😡😡😡😡😤

Love how the video is actually just defending Soviet tanks

They are going to Ukraine to burn, Americans should be in them to burn as well.

People, this doesn’t mean it’s a bad tank.

America should build a new tank. And not the abrams x 😂

So ukraine is getting these first edition a1 abrams lol. 😂 they gonna pop like soda cans from kamikazi drones

you seemed to think its funny that people think abrams is the best tank so i cant help but wonder what do you think is the best tank then?

Gotta love the coping in the comments by brainwashed americans

Austrian painter just done three films

Wasn't expecting Diavolo in the video, lol.

thats why they don't want to give abrams to ukraine. It would be destroyed in seconds because it is even worse than leopard 2 and they don't want to claim it.

Many people keep on argueing "t80 russian space programn" when we tell them their nato tanks also have faults and arent totally invincible, just note that the leopard 2's ammo rack is literally right at the front, even more likely to blow up

Ye abrams is quite overrated, its just that the retarded media is biased to westerners and decides to milk all the faults of asian tanks, meanwhilst shielding all their tank's faults with false evidence and desperate ass excuses

Lets all agree every tank has their issues, and the abrams is just a massively overrated tank because of the amount of bias media has towards westerners, and abrams has been milked so much its being believed to be "invincible" by shitters who dont know anything about tanks, even though it is just the average modified tank from the 70's, The media focuses way too much on the asian faults of their tanks, but gets well mad and starts throwing out fake shit like somebody compared the soviet-afghan war to the american afghan war and said the soviet afghan war was "15 years ago"when I said their abrams were actually being destroyed rather than literally being invincible. This total bias towards western stuff in the media is very easy to spot now that people have clearly taken sides and are giving evidence to prove their point, many of that evidence is purely fake, coming from both sides.

Your wrong, the gas turbine is better than the diesel one. It is more powerful. The M1Abrams is a monster, with it's massive armor, and it's powerful engine.maybe you are correct about the part that the gun of the first ediration of the M1 is bad, and that most soviet and German tanks had more powerful 125mm guns, but later edirations such as the M1a1 and the M1a2 had an upgraded gun.

Shortly:
1. fuel eater
2. extremly bad filtration
3. small canon so big projectils so not enough place
4. light armor chassis.

i have seen abrams getting destroyed by RPG7 in Afganistan . still the best tank ?
lol

Abrams is a crap tank, and now Australia is stuck with them because the US forced us to buy them.

All the problems were cash for the offense contractor. Flaws in us weapons are features. They care little for their people. Only money matters to them.

A useful tank in it's 2015 upgrade configuration (M1A2 SEPv3) if kept 'hull down'... but of that advanced upgrade level, there are only about 1000 tanks under US Army command, confronting more than 2000 'modern tanks' in 2021 in Russian Armed Forces - even according to the completely biased research of the London based 'International Institute for Strategic Studies'...

U cringe

So basically it is like every other US military equipment. Expensive, shit and can only win battles against Ak wielding men wearing flip flops.

guys guys, pls chill, why do we have to discuss? is obvious that the best tank in the world is the TAM 2C

Not might be the best but %99 does what it is meant to do

I like the Abraham’s, I think it’s a cool tank, but god dam people seem to Dick ride it pretty heavily whenever tanks come up like it’s gods gift to the world and it’s weird

Depleted uranium armor, and depleted uranium ammo, Golf war syndrome has entered the chat.

The m1a2 Abrams is still the best tank in the world. Cope.

A hora da verdade chegou para o Abrams.

great video

A whole lot of keyboard warriors in these comments.

The abraham has a jet engine😂😂😂 and yes in the first golf war there were many incident were us tankers destroyed their own battalion by not seeing what kind of tank that was during night time

The abraham has a jet engine😂😂😂

They were saying this is the best tank ! Compared to the Russian ones. But it also sucks maybe worse

I like the abrams ability to used multiple types of fuel, but the usage of fuel is something that needed to fix.

I think we've reached a point in tank technology to where it's whoever spots the other first and gets the first shot off is going to win.
