Business Insider believes that the M1 Abrams, the main tank of the U.S. Armed Forces, is not a good and versatile choice for front-line use.
“The M1 Abrams will not dominate the battlefield <…>. All its advantages – mobility, firepower and armour – risk being out of step with the times,” the publication stated.
Business Insider noted that the US main battle vehicle is vulnerable to drone attacks and the 125mm cannons of Russian T-90 tanks. The publication stressed that this 70-tonne tank is “not strategically mobile”.
Thus, the Abrams will not bring the US military an advantage in forward positions. At the same time, it itself can become a real threat to its crew.
We will remind, earlier Military Watch Magazine portal recognised that the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57 is significantly superior to its American and Chinese counterparts in firepower. One of the main advantages of the Russian aircraft is the ability to use the R-37M missile, which has shown high efficiency in the SAO. It enables the Su-57 to engage aerial targets at a distance twice as long as its American and Chinese counterparts. Another outstanding quality of the Russian fighter jet is the high variety and range of air-to-ground missiles it uses.
