M10 “Booker” instead of M1 – Why the US is building a new type of tank after 40 years

Date:

Since the 1980s, the M1 Abrams at the M1A1 and M1A2 modernization levels have formed the backbone of the US Army. But now the US Army is adding a new tank model to its arsenal, the M10 Booker. The first units are expected to be delivered during the year and the first battalion should be equipped by the end of 2025. But they don’t want to officially call the M10 Booker a “tank”…

Chinese sabre-rattling over the US-backed island nation of Taiwan, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Israel’s Gaza war against Hamas and Houthi rocket terror in the Red Sea: the world is in a new era of war – and global armament is the result. This is also the case in the US, where four decades after the M1 Abrams, a new tank model will roll off the production lines. This is not least intended to prepare for a possible conflict with China. The new tank is ideal for the battle for Taiwan, says the lead developer.
