- Description
- The M1A1 SA is a Main Battle Tank and the principal production variant of the M1 Abrams family, fielded by the United States from 1985 with a 120 mm M256 smoothbore gun (license-built Rheinmetall L44), improved armour, and NBC protection. It became the backbone of U.S. armored forces in the Cold War and Gulf War and remains in service in upgraded forms. The 62.2 t vehicle is crewed by four (driver, gunner, commander, loader) and is powered by a Honeywell AGT1500 gas turbine producing 1,519 hp for 24.4 hp/t and 68 km/h.
The M256 fires M829 APFSDS, M830A1 variants, and M1028 canister; a 7.62 mm M240 is coaxial and a 12.7 mm M2 is commander-mounted, with a loader M240 optional. The gunner has a laser rangefinder, Gen 2 green thermals, and FCS with lead; the commander has a CROWS-style sight with Gen 1 thermals, FCS, and tracking. Stabilizer, smoke grenades, and engine smoke are fitted.
