The M1 Abrams replaced the M60 Patton in US service, as well as the M48A5. It would, however, serve alongside the M60A3, which had entered service just two years before (1978) the M1, for over a decade. May not be your type of music, but it sure is my type of Tank! GO USA! And if you like this type of music, a good speaker system would be good...turn it up! The Abrams is the US's main battle tank, and arguably the best of it's type in the world. With its sophisticated electronics and 120mm smoothbore main gun, it is capable of a 95% hit rate at distances of over 4km. It is powered by a 1500hp gas turbine, it is protected by state-of-the-art armour which can incorporate depleted uranium. Music: H-BlockX - The Power
