A Revolutionary introduction

In a bold move forward in armored warfare technology, General Dynamics LAN Systems unveiled the Abrams X on October 10, 2022, at the AUSA event in the United States. This revolutionary tank joins the ranks of new-generation battle tanks, such as the KF-51 from Rheinmetall and the EMBT from KMW and Nexter, setting new standards in military innovation.

The Abrams X, based on the familiar M1A2, might look similar on the outside, but under its skin lies an entirely new beast. This prototype tank is designed to incorporate cutting-edge technologies and improvements, making it a formidable addition to modern arsenals.

The Abrams X measures approximately 10 meters in length, 3.66 meters in width, and 2.90 meters in height, closely mirroring the dimensions of its predecessor. However, significant upgrades have been made to its design and functionality.
