I've made videos talking about and busting tank myths in the past, but there wasn't an overall theme. I've recently decided to do more topical myth videos. For this one, we're going to be focusing on the American M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. Much like other MBTs such as the Leopard 2 and T-90, the M1 is the center of a lot of exaggerations and misinformation. This misinformation is both positive and negative, so we'll be taking a look at Abrams myths from both sides.
