                          M1A2 Sep (U.S.A)
                          MAIN BATTLE TANK


            The M1A2 System Enhancement Package (SEP) is the successor to the MIA2 Abrams. It has incredible technology and armor and has seen first hand combat more than any tank in the world. 

The  baseline of the M1A2sep is formed with depleted uranium armor components with graphite coating and protection can be further increased with add-on explosive reactive armor. The tank armor is also equipped with counter IED equipment. 

Though the accuracy of the tank's gun are slightly inferior to the other first class MBT but still pack a formidable punch and is equipped with advanced fire control systems with upgraded ballistic computer.
