M1A2 SEPv4 Abrams: The Army's New Super Tank?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- The Abrams tank, which has gained significant recognition, has undergone several updates throughout its existence. Its predecessor, the original M1 Abrams, was adopted by the US Army in 1980 and named after the commander of US forces during Vietnam War, General Abrams. The Abrams M1A2 SEPv4, also known as the M1A2D, represents the latest iteration within the Abrams M1A2 tank family. It serves as an upgraded version of the M1A2 Abrams SEPv3, boasting enhanced capabilities and features, and is expected to be the most powerful tank in the Abrams family so far.

02:39 This graphic needs to be corrected. The co-axial machine gun is mounted internally in parallel to the main gun. The 12.7 mm HMG is the one on top of the large optic on the roof. The smaller roof-mounted 7.62 mm machine gun is manually operated by the loader seen on the right side of the tank.
And you get the cigar it's internal but it's coaxial with the main gun sights and controls
Its not 12.7 mm. It "caliber .50".

His 7.62 and heavy machine gun and coax are labeled in the wrong area. A true tanker spots this easily.
Watching the "jack in the box" effect of Russian tanks when hit makes me realize that even if an Abrams is knocked out, that experienced crew survives to fight another day. The Russians have no experienced crews because getting hit is unsurvivable.

@@mou5007 We (as in the US) did fine when it comes to the Abrams in both. It's when we took the armor off and sold them to other people who thinks a tank is a single unit that don't know how to use them is when they got destroyed. Kinda like every one of Russias top made tanks have been destroyed for the same reason. Can Any tank be destroyed, Sure. But Unlike Iraq, Lib, SA, We don't think a tank should ever be used by itself and Russia learned that the hard way
@@thefew.theproud.19Kilo Abrams is nothing for Russia or China you propagande mensonge 🤮🤮👎✍️
Good for you
Composite metal foam armor is changing everything for Tank armor. Same or better protection for 1/3 the weight and it’s good at masking IR signature
Any Abrams tankers in this thread? If so, how come some Abrams have those square add ons in the front turrets? In the sloped armor area
Those are friend or foe indicators, I think they glow when looked at with Thermal cams (but I forget the details) . The ultimate goal though it's they are a quick point of identification to help prevent friendly fire.
@@Slaeowulf 😂😂
They are panels. Can't remember what there made out of but are flimsy and light weight. The section they cover keeps that section of armor slightly cooler then the rest of the slope that is not coverd so when you see it through thermals you'll see two big square dark areas so you can identify it as friendly.
I don’t think any kind of armored vehicles are “unstoppable”. Today’s modern weapons of war are capable of destroying all of them. The M1 Abrams, Leopard 2, and Challenger 2, are all vulnerable and can be stopped.
When you do that put new tracks on them and make sure everything works and check barrels cause a wore out barrel on machine guns makes it harder to hit your targets quickly and make sure they have been reblued with the machine guns so your crew has something better to do with their time by not having to clean the machine guns and barrels because they don't have bluing on them and it really takes up time for maintenance of your vehicles
Army should consider countermeasures for mines. What's the use of a tank that can't go through mine fields.
No tank can resist countless mines
What gave you the impression this was not considered?
There are special mine plows for tanks.

Also equipped with advanced teleportation ability, the tank can evade any enemy. WHAT??
Ukraine won't get the American advance protection, because of American law.
What about protection from drones? That's gotta be a consideration!

Abrams fought as a Tank Commander in WW2. He knows how a M4 Sherman was deficient. He was the one who made the U.S. Military stop the 105mm Bored Barrel for the (German) Krupp 120mm smooth bore Cannon. That is not the only advancement he made. He was a Tanker true and through. No MTB is invulnerable and the more gadgets you add only wear and tear everything else. Those who see and shoot first? Will win out. This gun can go well over 3 miles and its round can communicate with Friendlies to guide the round. Who else has that capability?
What's the diff v3 vs v4 ?
Old, old news !!! Semper Fi 💙💛
It has turned into COD franchise. 10% new 90% same. Yet they call it a new tank!
These improvements are wonderful, but the technology is making it harder to repair on the battlefield when the crisis arises. Like a simple bolt come off or need to move quickly to/from a battle. Lessons should be learned from the Ukraine/ Russian war. Ukraine loves the Bradley because not only move troops and equipments, but also fire multiple times fast than a tank. A tank needs time to reload a fresh round in about the time the Bradley has all ready destroyed the target. Also, the tank seems to good in open fields and the Bradley could be used in multiple battles.
wonder when the Abrams will get an diesel engine ...
It can run off diesel
@@thefew.theproud.19Kilo Ikr. The OP of the comment is still using old ass sources.
I believe the Australian Abrams has diesel engine.
Video is currently outdated, as of yesterday, September 6th, the SEPv4 project was canceled in favor of the M1E3 variant.

Iron fist?
I thought they decided to not do a SEP IV.
We don’t even have the M1A3 yet 💀🙏
is the abrams x still being worked on obviously usa needs a tank till that tank is ready and it will probably take a decade give or take...i havnt heard anything on it in awhile and have been hearing of this version instead so just curious if anyone knows if that was scraped for this or whats going on
They canceled this v4 and are designing a new tank instead. FYI

Abrams is the BEST TANK IN THE WORLD HANDS DOWN!
Inadequate drones protection.

Dunno if I should cry or laugh…
And yet you watched and committed on the video lol.
Say the name Akatsuki on one of the cannons Naruto reference.
Sounds like a lot of things that can break to me.
“Working on active protection”, does not actually have it? It seems like otherwise it has zero protection against drones, which the Afghans definitely could of afforded if these were available the last time these things saw combat.
I'm surprised they didn't go to a more efficient diesel electric setup for the diesel simply power is a generator and left and right motors electric turbine Electric Generators are more efficient than just a diesel motor that's why trains use them

They said Tanks are now becoming obsolete, then let me say those people are dumb and have zero experience in war. How can they say that Tanks are not needed on the Battlefield?
True. Its like saying combat jets are obsolete because there are SAMs.
The reason there are a lot of anti-tank weapons is because the tank is such an effective and dangerous weapon system. Same with SAMs.
And there will always be periods in which either protection or missiles have the upper hand compared to tanks and combat jets.
Like all weapon systems you have to use them properly. If you are just rushing into well defended areas without combined arms like Russians did you are going to lose a lot.
But if you use combined arms like US does you won't. US Thunder Runs in Bagdad proved that even in its most vulnerable area (urban area) tanks are very effective and survivable.
What is proven in practice is that light vehicles and light infantry are to vulnerable to pretty much everything.
Drones are overrated. You can jam the signal between drone and operator and anti-drone systems are going to be deployed on tank upgrades or new designs.

They don’t want new US tech in the hands of Russia, and they know they are just going to get blown up by lancet drones
Because those 40 years old tech are better than even 20 years old Russian tech

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just have upgraded a Sherman M4a2E8 than building an Abrams tank that you still need to upgrade?
Yeah because a 76mm Sherman is going to penetrate the armour on a modern MBT

I said an upgraded Sherman 🙄Yugoslavia did put a big long 122mm gun on their shermans. So why can't we then put a 120mm gun on it that can fire the same ammunition as M1 Abrams and Leopard2?

@@matthewlewis-zw3tf tandem warheads have next to nothing effect on non-ERA armor
I love the Abrams but I think it is time for a completely new MBT. There is a limit to how far you can upgrade a vehicle. At some point you need to design something completely new. Like for instance the German K-51 Panther. There is a reason that the USAF flies F-22 and F-35 instead of upgraded F-15 and F-16.
That’s easier said than done. It cost cost to develop a brand new MBT. And it’s uncertain whether a brand MBT is worth the money or not unless it tastes actual combat. Besides, the Abrams already has a strong proven track record in battle. It’s unlikely that it’ll need a brand new replacement anytime soon. If it were to get replaced, it’ll likely be in the form of a newer Abrams tank variant built to suit the needs of the modern battlefields like the Abrams-X design.
well the airforce is upgrading their F-15s to the F-15EX version and they are working on making it so they can fly F-16s autonomously. Also they are working on a design for a new tank but that's a few years away. Other platforms were deemed to need a new vehicle first. The first was the JLTV to replace the humvee, which is operational. The AMPV to replace the M113 is also about to come out. The M10 Booker light tank or MPF depending how you want to call it is starting production. Next is the Bradley replacement with the OMFV, the winner should be picked out this year. A new light transport has just been picked which is the V280 Valor and then theres teh new light attack helicopter which should see a winner chosen I believe this year as well. After that I think the MBT will be next. Army has alot of modernization projects recently and the tank has been pushed back because even though its old, its still one of the best tanks out there today.

Haven't you seen what happened to this tank in Iraq? if the Iraqi can destroyed it then imagen what the Russians would do it!
wait until this tank meet with Kornet Missile or 9P157 Khrizantema-S Self Anti-tank missile system.
Lmao ok
If Mr paralel reality here says so then it must be true
Very few were actually lost. Only by 500km IEDs. Russian tanks are destroyed by far far less because they have weak armor and ammo in crew compartment.
Russian tank turrets make more flying hours than the Russian Air Force. Russian Air Force still doesn't have air superiority over Ukraine against much weaker country.
Russian Army unable to defeat much smaller Army in war.
A money pit on an impractical tank
This tank would be worthless in Ukraine; tracks are too slim, pads on tracks, would sink to be entrapped in the mud. Note the Russians use tracks that are wide and absolutely gnarly for super traction, they know what they are up against (the mud).
Thing is this tank was designed to fight Russia in these areas
@@chasemccall391 During summer, fall and winter. Ukrainian military criticizing German 155mm howitzer due to mobility issues it shares same track design if not same track as Abram.
Extremely stupid comment.
Both Leopard 2 and Abrams actually use wider tracks than the T-90. The T-90 is on 580 mm tracks, the Leopard 2 and Abrams on 635 mm tracks. They just seem wider on Russian tanks because the tanks are much smaller. The Leopard 2 and Abrams actually have lower ground pressure than a T-90. They are heavier but have the mentioned wider tracks and are substantially longer vehicles, increasing ground touching track area even more.
The ground pressure of a T-90 is 0.94 kg/cm2, the ground pressure of a Leopard 2A6 is 0.83 kg/cm². The power/weight ratio of the Leopard 2 and Abrams is higher than a T-90 aswell, even the latest T-90MS with a power/weigh ratio of 23.5 hp/tonne is below the power/weight ratio of a Leopard 2A6 with 24.0 hp/tonne.
Rubber track pads are mounted for peacetime to protect infrastructure (you know, the thing Russia barely has any of). For combat operations trackpads can be removed/not changed after wear down.
It's a myth that Soviet/Russian tanks are more mobile than their NATO counterparts. Not to mention close to non-existing reversing speeds on eastern designs.
Ukraine mentioned the PHZ 2000 had comparably high maintenance because it also delivered order of magnitudes more ordnance than any other system in Ukraine (or in the world by that metric). Mobility was not criticised, it was moreover praised because it was the fastest shoot-and-scoot capable system in their inventory.
@@jonny2954 L'il Jonny angry much?
@@jeanettewest Stating facts.
The army leadership is still too dimwitted to replace the fuel guzzling turbine engine. If the U.S. Army ever faces a near peer adversary in battle, the Abrams will get slaughtered once the enemy gets to the vast fleet of fuel trucks needed to keep the M1s running and the tanks start to run out of fuel. The whole situation is ridiculous given that a 1500 hp diesel powerpack has already been developed and could replace the achilles heal of the M1, its fuel guzzling turbine. Every general officer associated with this program should be drummed out of the Army.
So your what? A five star general or something?
Diesel engines definitely have their own set of advantages but the turbine engine has: Great Power to weight ratio ( They weigh a lot less than diesel engines of the same power.) More reliability in terms of not having as many mechanical problems, enables high mobility, fuel flexibility, as well as quit operating sounds and no visible fumes.

Too big,gas hog and high maintenance
I'll never understand why the US opted for the Honeywell gas-turbine engine over the Continental V12 twin turbo. The gas-turbine engine is prone to overheating, depending on the AO, high-cost maintenance, and if fielded along side, Challengers, Leopards and Merkava's, Avgas is not interchangeable with diesel, nor can you fire smooth bore projectiles from a rifled barrel Vice/Verses.
US Military: Have we to told you about the M1AX?
Tank Enthusiasts: Yes, it is trash.
The diesel and gas turbine topic is definitely a hot topic but the advantages of the turbine engine are: High power to weight ratio, more mechanical reliability, fuel flexibility, enables high mobility, quiet operating sounds and no visible exhaust.
