It is armed with a main gun that can shoot projectiles up to 4.7 inches (120 mm) in size and is heavily hardened armor with additional layers of steel and depleted uranium. It also has a caterpillar track driven by a gas turbine engine.

The biggest reason for the popularity of the M1 Abrams tank in the war is its running speed. It is not only unbelievable but also amazing.
