M1 Abrams adalah MBT buatan General Dynamics Land Systems US. Nama Abrams diambil dari Jendral Creighton Abrams. Varian awal yakni M1 pertama kali masuk dinas operasional tahun 1978, M1A1 tahun 1985, dan terakhir M1A2 tahun 1986. Varian M1A1 terlibat dalam Gulf war & Operation Iraqi Freedom berhadapan dengan T-55, T-62 dan T-72 Iraq.
Awalnya Abrams adalah hasil dari pembatalan MBT-70, sebuah varian tank yang dikembangkan oleh Jerman dan Amerika. Proyek kerjasama ini kemudian dibatalkan dan masing-masing pihak meneruskan pembuatan tank dari data-data yang didapatkan dari proyek MBT-70, Amerika kemudian membuat M1 Abrams sedangkan Jerman membuat Leopard 2. Varian awal M1 Abrams masih menggunakan meriam kaliber 105mm, pada varian selanjutnya (M1A1 & M1A2) digantikan dengan meriam kaliber 120mm buatan Rheinmetall Jerman. Varian awal M1 dan M1A1 mengandalkan mesin diesel, namun varian M1A2 memakai mesin gasturbine yang lebih bertenaga, walaupun mesin baru ini menggunakan bahan bakar lebih banyak.
Setelah pengalama di perang-perang sebelumnya, Abrams memiliki pilihan tambahan armor, yakni TUSK (Tank Urban Survival Kit).

T-80 diproduksi di Kirov Plant, Leningrad. Pertama kali masuk dinas operasional tahun 1976. T-80 didesain untuk menggantikan T-64. T-80 adalah tank Russia pertama yang menggunakan mesin gasturbine, mesin ini mampu membuat T-80 mencapai kecepatan 70km/jam dengan jarak maksimal 335km. Seperti karakteristik mesin gas turbine umumnya, mesin GTD-1000 ini mengkonsumsi bahan bakar yang banyak, sehingga bagian hull tank dilakukan perubahan desain guna menampung lebih banyak bahan bakar. Pada varian selanjutnya yakni T-80U, mesin gasturbine diganti dengan GTD-1250.
T-80 menggunakan meriam kaliber 125mm. Meriam ini selain bisa menembakan peluru tank bisa dipakai juga untuk meluncurkan ATGW. Selain itu T-80 menggunakan Autoloader sehingga mengurangi jumlah awak menjadi 3. Seperti pada varian sebelumnya, tank ini sudah dilengkapi oleh dozer di bagian bawah hull.
Saat ini 4.500 T-80 tercatat masih beroperasi di Rusia.
