Line 55 ⟶ 56:
:At the tactical level, like all western tanks, the armor is thinnest on the top of the turret and underneath the hull. Top attack missiles are effective, as are anti-tank mines. Operationally, the M1 uses fuel at a greater rate than some allies' tanks. Therefore the logistical tail is a vulnerability. At the strategic level, we have a vulnerability in political will, whether to fund the military on schedule or to ensure the quality of our youth for enlistment. Both of these issues impact the maintenance and crew of M1 tanks.
:The original M1, prior to the hull-mounted NBC system in use today, did have a small vent system in the left rear of the turret that could be attacked with small arms. That vulnerability went away in the 80s from active units, and across all M1s in use by the late 90s. [[User:Vasky22|Vasky22]] ([[User talk:Vasky22|talk]]) 17:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

: False. There some Abrams tanks destroyed in the Gulf War. [[User:Fnlayson|-Fnlayson]] ([[User talk:Fnlayson|talk]]) 19:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
:: During the Gulf war, I don't think any Abrams were destroyed by the enemy? (It was all friendly fire, breakdowns and subsequent destruction to avoid capture?)
::However, In this article, with sources:
:: {{talkquote|Between 2010 and 2012 the U.S. supplied 140 refurbished M1A1 Abrams tanks to Iraq. In mid-2014, they saw action when the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant launched the June 2014 Northern Iraq offensive. During three months, about one-third of the Iraqi Army's M1 tanks had been damaged or destroyed by ISIL}}

:"destroyed" is unlikely to be a correct phrase. "were lost" is more correct phrase I guess because the object is damaged and control over the object is lost - [[User:Halfcookie|Halfcookie]] ([[User talk:Halfcookie|talk]]) 15:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
