CT-7428 Damn I’ve seen a helicopter land on a field near my middle school once during PE And I swore I saw a C-5 Galaxy land near said school when I was in PE at my High School.

A Blackhawk landed at my elementary school, it was awesome.

My school took us to a land fill for a field trip 😖I would have loved the tank field trip a lot more

Yeah, best we ever got was the traffic reporter's heli from one of the radio stations in town :D

Maneuvering 68 tons in front of kids wasn't enough. Couldn't stop at pointing the tube at them. We had to target designate the crowd and rotate the hull blasting them all with those sweet JP8 exhaust fumes. Hope you brought your garbage bags kids! Take some exhaust samples.

They should have brought them to a range and shot some rounds off, always gets me excited!

I would love to be in that crowd, don't know bout you guys lol.

Neurofied Yamato Being in the tank is much more fun!

That’s stabilizers for you the m3a1 stuart tank was the first to have a stabilized gun but it wasn’t as good as today

full LS15 Gyro as tight as nails

That was one of the main things the Abrahams had , it had stabilizers that were super good

High pitched sounds don't travel very far (or very good) but would absolutely shatter your ear drums if you are that close to a full powered gas turbine.

that driver sucked lol i could have stopped it fast and with none of that hobblin around

HavocNation0 Wobbling isn't a problem anymore, the gun is fully stabilized in every axis.

Thank to the beauty of tracks.

Close man 68.5 tons fully combat loaded

I agree....especially over a 1000 degrees coming from the exhaust....wouldn't be a very good idea....unless the enemy wants to play....and the gun stabilization system is very cool...especially from the gunner's station......I definatly miss the tanks and its been 10 years since I was in one

Unless it has the exhaust deflector attached.

UnsungThermidor hehehe! Heard this from a tanker. Want a red hot MRE meal? Stick the package into the exhaust port. Five minutes later, red hot meal served!!

Turbine engines are hot what can I say

My dad found himself behind one in a Convoy in Iraq. He was in a Humvee though, he was telling me about a story of how while watching a car full of insurgents drive at them the Abrams Tank Commander rather than fire the main gun or anything just ordered the tank forward and played a game if Chicken with the insurgents. I'm confused on who won it though xD

Yup, he totally mad lmfao

Rico Jazz of course its a tank what is supposed to do shoot puppies and rainbows at the enemy

The frequency of the noise it emits makes it very hard to determine just how close the tank is. Whispering Death was one of its nicknames.

That’s why they were so effective In Desert Storm

GE? You're thinking of some of our planes. The AGT-1500 is made by Honeywell.

@@Chopstorm. Additionally, the sound it gives off is very directional - it's louder at the back than at the front by far. You can get a good sense for this at 1:53

Not all turboshaft engines are GE. Honeywell makes some too. M1 abrams, Ch-47, and some other machines.

@@BackwoodsTruther 45 mph is actually not it's top speed. The top speed is limited because of the excess strain on the tracks, but the Abrams is capable of reaching 60 mph for a short time.

You do know most other nato countrys have similar performing tanks

The Japanese Type 10 MBT says hello.

its a jet engine used for speed and low vibrations

Technically it's called a turboshaft engine - the gases force, rather than pushing the vehicle, just makes the tracks turn.

@@quadgod8111 thats its a jet engine it sounds like the turbine of an airplane.

In the early days it was called the whispering death by OPFOR. It is very quiet until it gets upon you and inexperienced foes wouldn't realize they were tanks.

Meh, Leo 2 still faster and much more mobile, see them side by side.

@@albertoabolafio9383 I just watched a vid on the leo 2 and no its pretty much the same. Stop measuring dicks. The abrams challenger and leopard 2 are very similar.

thats not a metric of performance

Don't forget that fucker takes like 8 gallons to start in the cold.

Actually, only about a liter.

Abrams lesion of the day. It takes gallons to start. But gets 55 gallons an hour. The HETT is what gets 3 miles a gallon.

Prius has 1.8L 4 Pot vs M1 has a Turboshaft Gas Turbine. Makes a massive difference.

***** The term Ronson mainly applied to British M4 Shermans. The Brits didn't follow proper ammo handling procedure and then compounded the problem by further stacking additional ammunition into the tank. Panther tanks were actually worse off compared to the late model Shermans.

Just remember history channel isn't history anymore. You can't trust anything from them anymore.

***** Patton preferred the sherman. It was under his advice that they kept producing it instead of the M26 Pershing long after the Sherman was hopelessly obsolete. If patton were still alive he would rather the Sheridan or stryker MGS.

M60 is Abrams hull... :P

thenoobfactor Despite what Belton Cooper (or rather, Belton Cooper's Ambrose influenced memoir) will tell you, Patton had fuck all say to what tanks the US army was using. If Patton had his way, each tank would have had 5 machine guns on it. Also I'm thinking that if the Sherman had become obsolete in the early 1940s, the army wouldn't have waited until 1953 to remove it from active service-long after the M26 and even the M46 had been deployed-nor would it have curbstomped T-34-85s in the Korean War.

U was there?

Biggest hazard To those kind of speeds are throwing a track

@@adventurekid9242 It also apparently wasn't great for the transmission/turbine coupling, so they ended up installing a governer iirc. Top speed has been 45 since.

Yeah, I always hear the stories from multiple Iraq/Afghanistan veterans. M1 crews were bypassing the governor and hitting 60 mph. Used to work with a guy who was mechanic in Iraq, mostly worked on LAV 25s but every now and again had to help work on m1s. Told me he saw some dudes hot rodding the tank around for "testing purposes" said it had to be going 50+ off road. But man, that reverse speed ain't no joke.

US always under reports the capabilities of their hardware. Russia over reports theirs. Thats why on paper Russian machines look like wonder weapons, while in practice they have had their ass handed to them time and again by the west.

70 MPH+ sounds like total non-sense. Unless going down a steep downgrade down hill. The 60 to 70 tons weight will actually help pick up extra top speed when going down hill to help reaching 70 MPH+ Otherwise 70 MPH+ on flat level ground road sounds non-sense even without the governor. 60 to 70 MPH is believe-able. 70 MPH+ sounds non-sense.

Tacomaholic that’s why they stopped the video, the cops start chasing immediately after the video ended

He's in an abrams. Who the fuck is, and can stop him?

A cop in an A-10 Warthog.

Anyone in charge of its fuel supply the thing burns fuel by something like 4 gallons to the mile.

Sign: "Stop" Tank:"No" Sign"...ok"

Still slower than the Russian and German counterparts

actually - ''It is theoretically capable of hitting 60 mph, but this puts inordinate stress on the treads, so the top speed is governed. Troops can ride on top of the tank as transportation when not in combat, but the high temperature of the exhaust means that they cant stand behind it for cover. General Dynamics has been working on a diesel replacement for the turbine engine, but there are no immediate plans to put it into any tanks.'' , and russian tanks usually drive around 40mph.

zabij sie actually troops can stand behind the Abrams and be completely fine. There’s a video on here from someone I can’t remember who exactly but it showed US troops standing behind an Abrams for “cover” like in the fury movie.

ShockAndAwe417 sadly people in shithole countries like the former Soviet Union or the Muslim world only know some rusty ex-soviet bullshit as the greatest tanks ever

I think Miroslav's last name is really suckamericansoff...

Not to mention the suite of USA/Nato resources that back them up. Look how poorly the Russians tanks have faired in Ukraine and it would tell you how easily the west would wipe them out. I'm not saying the West wouldn't lose men and equipment. But if we can funnel a few bill-ies over to Ukraine and they can stop Russia. How would the massive might of the full USA military perform. The intelligence and precision guidance of the entire kill chain allows any weakness we have to still greatly overpower any force on the planet. Just look at the effectiveness of the HIMARS system. We've sent 30 units over there, and its basically full stop ended Russia aircraft from pressing past the front line. the US has hundreds of HIMARS. Our stuff is better full stop. There are analysts that state the US military could wage war against the rest of the world and have decent odds of coming out the other end on top. unlike our European counterparts, who we love and need. We have a doctrine of being able to fight two FULL scale wars in two theaters of war at the SAME time. To rephase our military is budgeted so that we could engage with NK/china and Russia at the same time. No other country on earth has even 25% of the power of the united states military. To say otherwise is simply ignorance.

Leo2 a7 is much better protected. Also the 40mm upper plate can be easily overmatched by apfsds rounds.

​@@joeynyesss1286doesn't that also apply to the leo

They're designed for 45mph, but if you disable the governor, they'll haul some major ass until the engine overheats or you throw a track. A buddy of mine was a tank loader during the gulf war and said it was possible to get them up to 65-70mph for 5-10 minutes before the engine would overheat, that was assuming you didn't lose a track at that speed.

It can actually go faster offroad since the concrete is harder on the tracks, it's limited on speed to avoid damaging the tracks.

@@ares_bluesteel actually they it’s rougher on the pavement than it is the tracks and can reduce traction in some cases but they have rubber tread on so that’s actually a non-issue. These things will fly through the dirt and sand just and quick and flatten you as your tires struggled to run away.

@@ares_bluesteel thats why rubber tracks exists

Nothing is unstoppable. But it is a tough nut to crack. Attack planes and helicopters have no problem knocking this out. Fortunately for this tank the air forces of the countries they invaded were neutralized first or it would have discovered why tanks always have feared aircraft since WWII.

Agreed on that sir.

I just wish you guys would join us and use DU.

The engine on the Leopard 2 generates almost the same horsepower as the engine on the Abrams (1479 hp vs 1500 hp, respectively), but they both have similar performance. Like you said, both are very impressive tanks and have served their countries well.

@@Orca19904 they are both great vehicles however the Abrams has better armor due to DU. And are still faster then the Leo's. Leo's have a great engine but the gas turbine has a much better and wider powerband. But as a consequence to that the Abrams drinks fuel like crazy.

Don't recall anything spectacular accomplished by Leopards, except being blown to bits in Turkey...

Which m1 varinet did you operate In? just curious as we don't use Abrams here.

World of tanks

'MERICA!! 🫡🇺🇸👍

they are amazing and loud even in the rat hole. whats funny is the throttle when you drive these things is like a little motorcycle with two grips you grab and use like a motorcycle throttle with the transmission in the middle with (its been a few years ) but it should be D N P R or something like that. P standing for Pivot gear. i remember how cool it was starting one up for the first time. the whine that just builds and builds till you cant hear anything with your crew headset off. whats great is that if your transmission is destroyed there is a red lever to your lower right that when you pull that bitch up it destroys the transmission and gives you 1 gear in forward. btw driver is the best position to be in on a tank. adjustable head rest and reclining seat that is all. my MOS was 19K which is M1 armor crew-member. PS when tis cold the exhaust ports make nifty hand warmers.

flounder2760 Good to know :D I like to model and draw military hardware, and it is good to know how these huge machines work. I never knew that Tanks had transmissions either. I assumed it worked like a treaded Bobcat where you have a left and right handle for each tread.

cgrant26 Ha! Good one.

Go to Catgny Park. They have a IP-M1 on display there and you can even get on it!!

This was the best joke In this comment section

Every tank: we do that all the time.

It depends on the steering method, one method lets you do stuff like this, other method you can only turn a circle, not turn in place. The difference is how the engine output is routed to the tracks, if you can have one side go forward and one side reverse then you get this, if you can only slow down / stop one side then you get turning in a circle around the stopped / slowed side.

That maneuver is called pivot steering. Not every tank can do it. Have a nice day. 😎

Did you not notice the road was blocked off?

EeeTee not really but “OK” joke

Well it do eats alot of fuel but not that bad It wont be used in the military if it was that bad
