I remember qualifying on Tank Table Eight in Fort Hunter Liggett, CA back in 2004, and my dad brought my nephews with him to see us that year. My dad was a retired U.S. Navy Chief Steel Worker in the Seabees, who served for 26 years (Vietnam Veteran), and he came out to see his son. The leadership in my unit blessed him with open arms despite my family's impromptu visit. My company commander addressed him as Chief and treated him with the utmost respect. That was one of the fondest memories of my life and I will never forget it. Sadly, my dad passed away in October of 2020. I miss you dad and you will always be my hero.
Thank you for your service sir!

You have the exact first and second name as me
Gotta love those hydraulic noises
They wear headphones with microphones to communicate
I lost 30% of my hearing in my left ear sitting in the driver's hole next to that pump. Our intercoms sucked in the mid 90's and if you wore earplugs, you couldn't hear anything. Worth it.
Would you say a piston engine or the turbine is louder?
@@Creeperboy099 tbh, the M1A2 uses a turbine engine, they designed it to make it more silent than the other tanks. So I'd say piston.
@@howtotype1125 Now that I think of it, that makes sense- piston engines rumble more, having more reciprocating/oscillating mass
I can’t wait just graduated basic training to be a tanker
Good luck
Ahhh I can’t wait to do the same dude! How hard is it to pass the ASVFAB test? I think that’s how it’s spelled
Still 19K? Thanks for your service! God bless you, patriot!
G’luck with that! Marines ain’t got any tanks left
hows it going?

Me and the boys in the tank during ww3
Then you are probably fricked
@SAexpat PreferToBeElsewhereyou can't expect a theoretical WW3 to be a one sided battle where the only option your enemy has is asimetric guerilla warfer. Having the best traind and equipped conventional caverly in ww1 didn't help the guys who tried to charge machine guns and having the best crewed tanks and ifvs won't help you when you get swarmed by a bunch of expendible drones or get hunted down by the next generation of tank hunting helicopters and planes.
@SAexpat PreferToBeElsewhere my original coment was regarding a presumably joke coment about serving in a conventional crewed tank during WW3. I don't doubt that the US military as a whole is heavily investing into anything and everything that shows promise for the future.
For example, most countries with powerful militaris are seeking to expand the number of their special forces and adding additional specialised training like tunnel and underground warfer since they presume that the battles above ground will just be a cluster fuck of drons because of the advancements we are making rapidly. I doubt that drons will or could compleatly replace humans any time soon but they do have distinct advantages over the conventional units, especially ground units.
@@stalwartteakettlepotato9879 Ummmm r/woosh
@@Booty5layer dude wrote two whole essays about why he is wrong when it's a me and the boys joke?
The best thing about the tank is that it is made in America.
not in China 😉

You know that egypt give you some of this tanks that made in Egypt not all your tanks made in the USA
@@adhamrecch6317 state your source.
The gun is german, the armor is british, the secondaries are belgian, the crew has italian sidearms. It's a best of NATO.
That's about how long it takes me to get up when my alarm goes off.

This comment aged well🤣🤣
Doesn't need to fully stop before shooting? impressive!
Yea the part that allows for that Is called a gyroscope its mounted behind the barrel usually. 😁
It's a 2 plane gun stabalizer, the abrams can shoot on the move with it
Also a wind sensor and gun tube droop sensor for when it gets hot!
@@baronentertainment362 And every other modern main battle tank, and most IFVs.
Pretty cool last shot at the end
What a spectacular piece of technology. Deadliest land vehicle on the continent.
I always enjoyed this channel, solid content, zero bs robotic voices and shitty background music
The Abrams tank us to Feast used wisely you could fuck up any anime fortification
Anti tank mines that are hidden are actually the way to take these things down but destroying the tracks that’s the giant flaw of any tank then it’s just a turret with guns and can’t move
That's not taking this thing down though. That's just a mobility kill. As long as it can still fight, it will live on in the long run.
Bet you don’t walk up to it and talk to surrender

Iran sees this video: *confused screaming
Confused unga bunga
Iran is just North Korea but with a lame military.
@@ma.cristinalabores285 I died
If you guys think Vietnam was bad you have a whole fresh load of shit coming at you in Iran. Hope your soon to president senile dementia patient doesn't go to war with them because they will need to reinstate conscription to make up for the catastrophic losses you will face. Fighting massively entrenched guerrillas in a huge country full of nothing but mountains and narrow passes where they have been preparing for this exact scenario for decades. Loaded with more short and medium range missiles than you can count courtesy of a mass production program. Tanks will be worse than useless, if you saw the latest armenia-azerbaijan war you would know this, getting popped en masse by high altitude missile emplacements and ATGMs. All the armour in the world won't help when a missile hits the roof of your tank square on.
You don't really need the best tank anymore because air superiority is much more important. In a battle field, the one control the sky will destroy all their enemy's tanks easily. After that your average tanks will finish the job.
Lol that only works if you have uncontested air superiority and face no enemy AA equipment
Best place to warm up from a cold night.
For sure cooked a lot of meals back From the back deck
More power USA. from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸💪
what a badass tank
If they ask me why i attempted too steal an Abrams Tank i will say Because it's the greatest tank in the world Sir
Sure brings back memories of when I was stationed in Vilseck, Germany.
Dco 2/37 AR 1992-94
Such an awesome military video. :3
The Russians took over 30 years to completely contend against this MBT platform with their T-14 Armata but even that may not be enough to compete against the M1 Abrams especially the A2 variant if we're gonna talk about how stable its gun is and how experienced and well trained the US tank crews are, it's a no brainer to think that US will come out on top in this one.
Yeah we probably would. But imo I don't think it's worth it we would lose so many soldiers and it would be one of the deadliest wars in history. But I think we'd win.
@@tdogaz4114 It would instantly become a nuclear war. Russia knows that we would roll over them in no time. they would throw every nuke they have at America.
Not even a contender really, since the T-14 is a show tank that they can't actually produce in meaningful numbers.
@@jonathanbaird8109 Yeah the entire fleet of T-14s can't stand up to even a fraction of the US's Abrams.
Abrams m1 is one helluva sexy tank!! Damn.
Enemy doesn't realize that the 120 millimetre gun is an artillery platform oh, that means we can hit you, in your foxholes oh, and take out any armour, at a closer range
I have been inside the A-1 and the updated M-1-A1 and that hydraulic fluid and pumps are extremely nerve racking and honestly I would NOT EVER EVER BECOME A TANKER. I appreciate and respect the LID HEADS BUT FORCE RECON IS MY LIFE AND WAS MY MISSION TASK FOR 22.5 years active duty and 16 direct action combat deployments. With substantial indirect and covert mission task.
Lol 16 “DiReCt AcTiOn cOmBaT” deployments? I call BULLSHIT
LAZY PULL
IS TO LAZY TO PULL OUT.
Those tanks are so damn mean. As of yet, NONE had been destroyed in combat!!
500, 9 in the us, but that's still very little
I spent four and a half years on the M1A1. The heater sucked in the winter....Froze my ass off....
I still got a scar from mine almost burn your BTUs
Same here right on my left Calf
Such insane traverse speed
Telkin Stormbow 2 reverse gears i think.
GRATE‼️
Really witnessing the end of an Era. The Abrams is probably the last battle tank the US will ever design.
Wrong
I don’t know how they don’t go crazy with that buzzing noise inside the tank
Best tank ever built.
No such thing as best in such a vague condition set.
*laughs in leopard 2a7*
Challenger 2 would toast it
ForsakenBatMotivation that’s arguable, while the challenger 2 has better front protection it lacks good ammunition. While the abrams has good frontal, tusk system that makes up for armor, superior maneuverability and much better ammunition
@@luzerino1124 leopard would have no chance against an M1A2 Abrams
Hey, military people. When you make these videos, shoot at something that breaks apart. It's a lot more interesting to watch.
They do, it tends to be kilometres away though
We have the a10 warthog which is terrifying on the air and this beast which we have never lost one tank in its service life to enemy fire and the enemy keeps on fighting us hmmm
That's best tank ever I seen
O.c
What a monster.
The shot traveled around the world until... Some tank shot hit them in the back but I don't know how
I'm going to serve in an Abrams as a gunner or maybe a commander. Depends. Anyone else here plan on serving in anticipation?
Don’t be clausterphobic, and make sure you’re ready for training.
@@seven811 I am both. In fact I fond it funny that such a large portion of people are scared of being in a tight space.
@@thegregitto Try not to be taller than 5 foot 10. Being 6'1" in an abrams is rough.
@@jmb9893 I'm recently 15 and I'm 5'8" :(
@@thegregitto best of luck lol
Is the black on the side of the barrel burnt paint from the machine gun or gunpowder from the machine gun?
Gunnery got real in oif 1 nothing like a round from a t 72 hitting your turret.
Sounded like we threw track. But my wing man pop his turret off.
Literal thunder when that main gun fires...
0:09 When that gun fired my screen was just loading cuz it couldn't take the recoil.
The freedom machine
I miss my tank...
It's a brute, and I can fuck up any enemy fortification with that shit I think I can
Battlefield did good with sounds
think about it
put an abrams underwater, real big snorkel, like fording but better. or, dangle them off ships with the same idea.
then, instantly, submarines would be too scared to approach. war's done.
I’m tanker veteran. Best job in the army
The only thing that can kill an Abrams, is another Abrams xD
+5Oblivion расскажите это арабам от Йемена до Ирака, а то они не знают и жгут их...
Or an anti tank rocket...
Mr Wolfe anti tank rockets don’t worry me. Big IEDs do. The tank will handle the rockets and missiles. Can’t see the IEDs.
We have marine tank's antisubmarine
kcimb I was a Route Clearance platoon sergeant in Ramadi Iraq in 2006/07. The craters from IED's designated as "Tank Killers" was sobering.
Knowing some of the shyte the AIF/ACF buried, just so they could kill US and coalition forces, was fucking scary. We had 3 Soldiers Killed and a 4th with a broken back after a 300 pound was detonated under their vehicle. The vehicle was designed to take a blast but the 300 pounder inverted the V-Shaped hull.
I’d like to see this tank in a ww2 battle scene vs tigers and panzer tanks.
Joe Chiodi the tigers and panzers will win because the m1a1 tank has little armour compared to the panther D 120mm thick front plate
The abrams uses depleted uranium projectiles which would cut through that armor like butter. Those old tanks wouldn’t even be able to get a shot off.
@@rocketpotato8783 *facepalm*
@@rocketpotato8783 The panther wasn't even great by WW2 standards lol
I’d just punch right through a tiger and panzer I think with how powerful tanks nowadays have become
The first time i actually saw a projectile
Ever hear about tracer rounds
@@JessJess347 yeah, like 1 tracer round every five rounds, i think?
Fantastic

This is called freedom
Good old M1A1
some noises sound like a raptor in jurassic park;D
Yeah its hydraulics
The tubes on them howitzers are unreal…
this is a super tank
The freedom maker 9000
I love tanks.
Hmm what would happen if tanks could fly would that make jets out of business I'm curious
I don't need sleep I need answers
They do it's called an A10 warthog
The tank's inside sounds like a bloody airplane
Turbine powered
Sounds different in real life, microphone picks it up different
drossano huh
Also it should be noted that the turbine engine has a higher pitch than its gasoline counterparts, so the sound is much quieter over distance.
What your hearing is the turret hydraulics and turbine engine sounds, the high pitched sounds are the hydraulic pump working and when you see the turret traverse left and right, the brrrrrrr noise is the turret brake working.
Was it a trans gunner?
Any tank crews at the comment section. I have a question.
Are those metal things air-conditioning. Just asking.
Wasn't when I was in!
The M1A1s have no air conditioning but they M1A2s do. Mainly to keep components from overheating.
thats a quiet turbine lol
They called it "whispering death" during Operation Desert Storm.
So somewhere in America there is a big ass open field where tanks get tested?
Phil_Rock [PHLPPRCK] yep, for army and marines.
Half of the country is a big ass field, so yes
I signed up for this but never got a call
they got mad at you calling stormtroopers clone troopers
The shriek inside the tank can get old real quick.
I wonder if the M1 Abrams can survive through the toughest hurricane or tornado?...it would be cool to take this tank and plow right through a tornado while filming it😎...
MotoMech well considering that there are armored fords that can go through a hurricane it would be able to. And for the tornado prob because of weight it would survive but idk
Oh this thing would most definitely survive a tornado. You figure storm chasers have huge dominator vehicles that can withstand them, so this tank definitely could.
If a simple Centurion tank can survive a nuke (crew members will obviously die because the hatches always blow open)
Yea you can drive trough a tornado.
MotoMech The things weighs 60 tons
What the Abrams tank I can plow through battalion oh, and take out a lot of Tanks and even if I'm hit I can still continue the return fire
Whats the fuel consumption?
$1500 per hour complete price operation
1 gallon per 0.6 miles i think, it holds about 600 gallons i think
Too much😆
@@kulebananaman you’re Wrong on both guesses
That's the ceiling fan in my bathroom.. wait for the boom.
Did a tank just do a wheelie?!
Do you will never see the tanks, think about 30 Abrams Tanks using 120 mm arcing it at your fortification
Jag älskar panzar vagnar!
Any World Of Tanks or War Thunder players here?
Me
Was that an alarm or a motor
I'm not an expert ok ,i feel like the rear part and wheels are unprotected
You would never be able to put enough armour on the rear or sides to protect yourself from anti tank rounds, nor would you need to. All that matters is that they save the crew from much easier to conceal munitions like mines, IEDs, and RPGs.
But yeah they have around 30 to 20mm if armour
Where is this?!?!?!?!
That’s the Army’s tank. The marines are just borrowing it
120mm smooth bore cannon
Its an m1a1 it only have 100mm
+Sparty34 TM ...... you serious man..... its the same gun as the m1a2 and almost the same as a leopard 2a5 just redesigned.
+21babydew my bad i was thinking the older version of the m1a1 which only have the 100mm
Sparty34 TM even the old version has a 105mm the us has never in its life used a 100mm gun

Gunner sabot tank, identify, fire, on the the way, target cease fire....
Hooah!
We don’t have them any more it sucks
Listen up 19Ks and or whatever the Marine Corp designates the job. Train your drivers to charge the burm aggressively and stop mere inches from the wall.......way less target obscuration from muzzle blast dust and less of a chance of flashing "0000" during multiple engagements. Just remember Gunners, the computer by default uses the last range..............if you hit at 1400 and got !0000! squeeze the trigger if the target is within 2000M. You will get a kill. Mil sight relation ..........read it, learn it, live it! Also when training new loaders.......you hold the aft cap deflector/loading tray in the upright position as the loader manually lowers the breech and arms the main gun. Once armed, the loading/deflector tray stays in it's proper upright place as this will avoid the "WTF" (First Main Gun} look in your loader's eyes when there's no hole to stuff a round until they put the main gun to safe and the tray drops. As a trainer GNR or TC ....hold onto a center guide , end connector , or similar hefty object and train your Loader to only react after hearing the metal hitting the floor which circumvents the need to react to an ejection failure and the need to clear.
