A neat 🧵 on an important and potentially influential field modification made on Abrams in the Iraq War.

1/14 3-67AR deployed to Iraq a second time in 2005, equipped with the first M1A2 SEPs to see service in the Army they were one of the most up to date armor units. There was a problem though, all models of Abrams in theater shared the same weaknesses no matter how old.
