Dude, answers right on top of this page: its an M1A1 Abrams, and my apologies because I will be derailing this thread a bit. I like going all Discovery Channel and National Geographic everytime someone asked me such questions.


The M1 Abrams main battle tank is the principal combat tank of the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps, with three main versions being deployed starting in 1980: the M1, M1A1, and M1A2. The latest versions of the M1A2 have a new armor and electronics package. It is named after General Creighton Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and commander of the Army's 37th Armored Battalion. The M1 Abrams replaced the M60 Patton in US service although the M60 remains in use with the US National Guard. The heavy lost of expensive equipments to insurgent's RPG and IED in Iraq throughout this year saw the M60 making a return to active service, along with the AH-1 Super Cobra, another old veteran due to cheaper cost in maintainance and the fact that these equipments are 4 decades old (albeit continuously upgraded), proving their reliability.
