    Abrams is not an easy tank to destroy, the ammunition is located in the rear turret bustle and is protected with blowout panels and blast doors.
    This ensures that if the ammunition is hit, the fire will exit through the roof rather then spreading inside of the turret compartment.
    There is even a small extra ammo storage in the hull behind the commander, but it is also protected in the same way, just that the fire would go through the bottom in the case that it is hit.
    Now how do you actually destroy the Abrams? Well most of the time you don't, you just need to make sure you achieve penetration and kill or injure the crew. But it also depends from the tank if you will be able to penetrate it or not, specifically, it depends if the tank is equipped with TUSK II package.

    I'd say one of the most reliable ways to knock out an M1 is by setting it on fire. The crew tends to store a crap ton of gear outside in the storage racks which is flammable. Ideally, a well placed hit on either the storage racks or engine deck by an RPG should set it on fire and eventually force the crew to abandon the tank. A number of M1s in both the Gulf War and Iraq War were lost due to fires.
    That being said, the survivablity of the M1 is outstanding. There was an incident in the Gulf War where an M1 was hit by an Iraqi RPG-7 followed by three DU rounds from friendly fire. The hull was penetrated and the below turret ammunition was blown up. Three crewmen survived and only the gunner was killed by the hull penetration.

  • @gareththompson2708
    @gareththompson2708 4 роки тому +4

    One minute into the video and before I go any further I would like to hazard a guess.
    If I was given nothing but an RPG-7 and told to take out an Abrams I would try to get a shot at the rear half of the side aspect of the chassis. NATO tanks tend to be more heavily armored on the turret, so I probably wouldn't bother aiming for the turret. In fact even the side of the turret is basically invulnerable to any RPG-7 warhead. Some RPG-7 warheads will penetrate anywhere on the side aspect of the chassis, although the armor is thinner on the rear half of the side aspect, so any RPG-7 warhead should be able to get through the rear half.
    There is essentially no point in shooting at the front. There is a weakpoint just at the join between the turret and the chassis that most tank AP rounds should be able to get through, but an RPG-7 warhead is not guaranteed to get through, and it is a small target anyway. On the turret just below the gun there is a weak point that any RPG-7 warhead should be able to get through, but it is such a small target that I wouldn't bother unless I was feeling supremely confident in my aim that day. Otherwise the frontal aspect is pretty much invulnerable to the RPG-7.
    If I was in an urban environment then perhaps I might go for a top attack, since the armor there is almost certainly thin enough for any AP weapon to get through (although I haven't actually seen any data for how thin it is). But that would be an extremely dangerous thing to attempt if it has any sort of infantry escort, since to get a top attack I would need to be in an upper floor almost directly over the tank, meaning that I would be so close that any escorting infantry would probably spot me straight away. Of course if we are factoring in infantry support then even finding an opportunity to get a side aspect shot would be very difficult, although perhaps not impossible.
    Things would change if I was armed differently. An RPG-29 could slice through any part of the side aspect, although the front is still mostly invulnerable (higher chance of getting through the weak points though). If I was manning an ATGM, such as an AT-14 I might have a few more options since I would have a longer range and greater penetration. It is less likely that I would get a side aspect view at long range, although if I did get one an AT-14 could pen just about anywhere on the side of the Abrams (both turret and chassis). Most places on the frontal aspect are still pretty much invulnerable, although there is still that weak spot just between the turret and chassis. And it is always a sensible idea to aim for the tracks or gun, since even the most heavily armored tanks can only do so much to protect those, and a hit on either will basically put it out of action.
    The Abrams is certainly a tough nut to crack, especially if it has infantry support. But it's not invincible. Frankly I'm just glad it's on our side.
    Edit: Right, I didn't factor in TUSK and Trophy. That would basically leave rocket armed infantry pretty much fucked. Perhaps AT guns will need to make a comeback? Granted AT guns are less mobile and more expensive than ATGMs, but they are still much cheaper and easier to dig in and conceal than tanks, and if ATGMs become useless there may be little choice but for AT guns to have a comeback (it just isn't a practical strategy to have tanks as your only anti-tank weapon).

  • @user-tc9sk4ei9y
    @user-tc9sk4ei9y 4 роки тому +5

    You can actually hit an Abrams tank near the gun at the front - between armor plates. It's hard though. Slightly better way to RPG an Abrams at the front is to hit it between the turret and the hull. Anyway, there are not much chances the tank would not spit explosive shit from 1 to 1,5 km away, so basically the tank doesn't need it's superior armor protection at all against some poor fellows with RPGs alone. The best way to deal with modern tanks is to simply hit it's main gun with 30 mm autocannon round or a shell fragment, so it would not be able to use it anymore. The main tank gun isn't armored at all, and without it the tank is just an armored mobile coffin, which could try to zap you with an MG or grind you with tracks.

    • @the.606
      @the.606 Рік тому

      frontal turret is too protected to be penetrated by RPGs and ATGMs the frontal turret is 1600mm protection againts HEAT it means that is the maximum penetration it can handle plus the M1A2 have upgraded Depleted Uranium Armor, there is no weapon that can penetrate that much protection armor. RPG-7 have only 250-500mm penetration RPG-29 have only 750-900mm penetration and the strongest ATGMs Kornet have only 1300mm penetration you still can't penetrate frontal turret, well you can disable the gun mantlet if you hit it with something strong enough but it will not still penetrate.

    How to beat Abrams? Easy, just roll out glorious KV-2 and drop 150mm HE shell on its roof. Done.

      The amount of explosives those IEDs usually contain is a lot. The only practical means of delivery would either be placed or through a freefall bomb. Those IEDs used to take out tanks have like 30-50 if not more pounds of explosives.

    I don’t there is any sane person that would say any weapon is invincible! It’s the crew and training that is the ultimate factor and well…. Russia is coming up pretty short lately.
