Connections to TodayThe tank has changed a lot over the years from WW1 to WW2 to today. Many advancements were made to make the tank faster, quieter and even more deadly. An example of this is the American M1 Abrams tank which the U.S currently uses. Manufactured by Lima Army Tank Plant this great weapon has been the main battle tank of Americans since 1980-present day. Today it is used in our war in the Middle East against numerous terrorist groups and is better in every way to the tanks of WW1. In fact not a single Abrams has been lost in the Middle East or anywhere at all.
