As with other infantry fighting vehicles, the Bradley is designed to transport infantry with armor protection while providing covering fire to suppress enemy troops and armored vehicles. The M2 holds a crew of three: a commander, a gunner and a driver; as well as six fully equipped soldiers.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], former Army
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of US military forces in
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] from 1968 to 1972. The M1 is a well armed, heavily armored, and highly mobile tank designed for modern
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Notable features of the tank include the use of a powerful
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] engine, the adoption of sophisticated
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. With a weight of close to 68

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] It did, however, serve for over a decade alongside the improved M60A3, which had entered service in 1978. The M1 remains the principal main battle tank of the

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. It is anticipated to continue in U.S. service until the 2050s, approximately 70 years after adoption.
Three main versions of the M1 Abrams have been deployed, the
M1,
M1A1, and
M1A2, incorporating improved armament, protection and electronics. These improvements, as well as periodic upgrades to older tanks have allowed this long-serving vehicle to remain in front-line service. The
M1A3 is currently under development.
