These tanks were purchased in April 2022<\/strong>, to reinforce the Polish Army against the threat of Russian expansionism following the start of the invasion of Ukraine. In addition, in January 2023, it also signed the purchase of a batch of the M1A1 model. In total, Poland purchased 116 M1A1s and 250 M1A2 SEP v3<\/strong>, being the first European operator of this US-made tank. The M1A1s have already been delivered. Deliveries of the M1A2 SEP v3s are expected to be completed in 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first 28 M1A2 SEP v3s arrived by ship in the port of Gdynia<\/strong>, and were then transported to the Military Automobile Plant in Pozna\u0144 for so-called deprocessing (extended zero inspection after long-term sea transport).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The M1A2 SEPv3 is one of the most modern versions of the Abrams.<\/strong> Like previous versions, its main armament is a 120 mm M256 smoothbore cannon, which in this case has been adapted to use the latest types of ammunition, including programmable ammunition<\/strong>, the Polish Armaments Agency<\/a> announced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The tank's auxiliary armament consists of a remote-controlled CROWS weapon module<\/strong> with one 12.7 mm large-calibre machine gun and two 7.62 mm machine guns, the Agency notes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Agency also notes that this version is \"characterized by strong ballistic and mine resistance<\/strong>, ensuring the highest level of crew protection. The tank is powered by a Honeywall AGT1500 TIGER turboshaft engine with a power of 1,500 hp, ensuring high top speed and mobility on any terrain<\/strong>. The latest version is also equipped with an auxiliary power unit (APU).\"<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the M1A2 SEPv3, there are now nine types of tanks in use by the Polish Army,<\/strong> which still possesses a few Soviet-made T-72s (most of which were donated to Ukraine) in two versions (T-72M and T-72M1R), as well as PT-91 Twardy (a modernised Polish version of the T-72), Leopard 2A4, Leopard 2A5, Leopard 2PL (a modernised Polish version of the Leopard 2A4), the South Korean-made K2 Black Panther and the two aforementioned versions of the Abrams.<\/p>\n
