A Russian T90M tank struck a vehicle 5060 Meters away with its main gun in Ukraine yesterday. That's 16,601 feet or 3.144 MILES away! Video below . . .
What is the range of a U.S. m1a1 tank?
The M1A1 could kill other tanks at ranges in excess of 2,500 meters (8,200 ft).
This range was crucial in combat against previous generation tanks of Soviet design in Desert Storm, as the effective range of the main gun in the Soviet/Iraqi tanks at that time, was less than 2,000 meters (6,600 ft).
Given that the U.S. and its NATO vassals are fixing for a fight with Russia over the Ukraine situation, what might we all expect if the m1a1 can hit things 8200 feet away, but the Russian T-90M can hit things twice as far?
Here's video of the hit:
