U.S. M1A2 Abrams 120mm Gun Main Battle Tank
The M1 Abrams, the worlds' strongest tank, has undergone
step-by-step modification since its commission by the US military

in 1980. The M1A2 evolved from the M1A1HA, and features
Intervehicular Information System (IVIS) and Commander's
Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV). Kit features A2 turret comes
with CITV and new style vision block.

About the M1A2 Abrams
The M1 Abrams, officially commissioned by the US military in
1980, was designed totally different from previous post-WWII US
military tanks. Although fitted with the same 105mm cannon as the

M60, the M1 was powered by a gas turbine engine and was fitted
with spaced armor. Planned to be commissioned by the US military
over a long period, the M1 was designed with future reforms in
mind. In 1984, the M1A1 was developed with a 120mm smooth bore
cannon, and a further variant the M1A1HA was later developed
featuring depleted uranium armor. This then led to the M1A2,
which was fitted with Intervehicular Information System (IVIS),
Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV) turret and new
style vision block. The M1A1HA and the M1A2 both played
significant roles in Operation Iraqi Freedom, being deployed by
land forces as well as the Marine Corps as they moved toward
Baghdad.
