Now the tanks are sent to the Anniston repair base for further restoration and modernization.
In the United States, several dozen M1A1 Abrams tanks, which were removed from service in the Marine Corps in 2021, are being taken out of conservation, Army Recognition reports.
The railroad tanks headed to the Anniston repair base for further restoration and modernization. The US Marine Corps has 400 M1A1 Abrams tanks. The last tanks of this type were taken out of service as part of the structural reform of the US Marine Corps.
It is not reported how many decommissioned M1A1 Abrams Marine Corps should return to service. It was just learned that the Americans wanted to upgrade these tanks to the M1A2 SEP V3 version.
Upgraded tanks can take Poland. In July 2022, the Pentagon promised the Poles to transfer 116 used M1A1 Abrams as compensation for the transfer of almost 250 Soviet T-72 tanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to The Military Balance, at the end of last year, the US military had approximately 2,500 M1A1 Abrams tanks of various modifications in service, and more than 3,700 vehicles of this type in storage.

Remember that General Dynamics presented a tank with artificial intelligence. Thanks to artificial intelligence, the tank can be used in a completely “unmanned” mode.
