→Combat experience
These tanks gained some combat experience in the first [[Gulf War]] as well as the 2003-2011 [[Iraq]] deployment. Here they have shown to be a true force to be reckoned with and have one of the best combat records of any modern tank against older T-64s.

During the war the US army rolled over older Iraqi T-72Ms (An export model of the T-72 which at the time lacked many features such as composite and reactive armor, adequate penetrator's and no modern optical range finders as opposed to their main line Soviet counterparts) with huge success. The Abrams has never faced the main battle Tank of the Russian Armed Forces.
