Tanks are armored combat vehicle that moves using a wheel-shaped chain. The main characteristic of a tank is a patron who normally is a layer of heavy steel, the weapon which is a big cannon, and high mobility to move smoothly in all fields. Although the tank is an expensive vehicle and require a lot of logistical supplies, tanks are the most powerful land weapons and all-round on the modern battlefield, because of its ability to destroy any ground target, and the mental effect against infantry.

MBT M1 Abrams is General Dynamics Land Systems made in U.S.. The name is taken from General Creighton Abrams Abrams. Beginning of the M1 variant first entered operational service in 1978, M1A1 in 1985, and last M1A2 in 1986. M1A1 variants involved in the Gulf war and Operation Iraqi Freedom to deal with T-55, T-62 and T-72 Iraq.
Originally Abrams is the result of the cancellation of the MBT-70, a variant developed by German tanks and the U.S.. The project was later canceled and the cooperation of each party to continue the manufacture of tanks from the data obtained from the MBT-70 project, the U.S. and then make the M1 Abrams while Germany made Leopard 2. Early variant of M1 Abrams still use 105mm caliber cannon, in subsequent variants (M1A1 and M1A2) is replaced with artificial Rheinmetall 120mm caliber cannon Germany. Beginning of the M1 and M1A1 variants rely on diesel engines, but the M1A2 variant using a more powerful engine gasturbine, although the new engine uses more fuel.
After the experience in previous wars, Abrams has the additional choice of armor, that Tusk (Tank Urban Survival Kit).

T-80 is produced at the Kirov Plant, Leningrad. First entered operational service in 1976. T-80 is designed to replace T-64. T-80 was the first Russian tanks that use gasturbine machine, this machine is capable of making the T-80 reached speeds 70km/jam with a maximum distance of 335km. As the characteristics of gas turbine engines generally, GTD-1000 engine is consuming a lot of fuel, so that the hull tanks made design changes to accommodate more fuel. In the next variant of the T-80U, gasturbine engine replaced with a GTD-1250.
T-80 uses caliber 125mm cannon. This cannon can fire a bullet other than a tank can be used also to launch ATGW. In addition, T-80 using the Autoloader, thereby reducing the number of crew members to 3. As with previous variants, this tank has been equipped by the dozer at the bottom of the hull.
Currently carrying T-80 4500 are still operating in Russia.
