Hull front? Nah.
Turret sides? Yeah probably.

Hull front on Abrams is not very well armoured

if you mean USA Abrams the material that is used is stronger than the materials other country use , other countries abram don't have that protection , on other hand it depend on version
we have this

and then we have this

You do realize the second image is not add-on armour. It's weights to simulate the weight of SEP V3. All M1A2 have same hull armour

Just because your mentioning this tank, I was reading articles and pictures awhile back about how certain proxy forces of Iran were operating those tanks do you think Iran ever got a hold of one or two

Who told you that lol
US export versions may not be armored as well but US versions have depleted uranium armor and other composites.

probably export version of M!A! ,nothing special in case of Armour type . we already knew how to penetrate A1M1 and Export version of A1M2 , the jwel of the family is american version of the A1M2 that as far as i am aware we managed to penetrate with roadside bombs

look at the side armor and its thickness, and no the american version have DU armor the export version don't have that

Read today that their will be a military exercise in the Northwest of the country. Not sure if its close to Kurdistan or Azerbaijan. Waiting for confirmation on that.

Their is literally no DU outside of the turret front. Hull has no form of DU. Only 5 Abrams ever made had DU in hull. Export versions have same composites too

No, American version only has DU in one part od turret

Hull sides are just normal ARAT ERA, which is hardly better than Kontakt-1 despite thickness

Tanks normally get hit from the front. Hence why DU is stacked in the front turret area.

If a tank gets hit from the side or rear it failed tactic wise and operational awareness wise.

Furthermore, US tanks with DU armour shells and more powerful turret can engage Soviet tanks at a longer distance. This is a known short coming of Soviet doctrine that prioritized quantity over quality.

New next gen Abrams X tank looks promising. It has a fully automated turret, just like the Armata.

Just a tech demonstrator. Most likely some of the parts will be adopted for future Abrams like the engine, powerpack, tracks and gun

Iran begins military drills on Armenia/Azerbaidjan Republic borders

Impressive how the C-130s and Supercobras are still operational

FYI, this is just a promotional video from before. Actual videos have no come out yet.

The areas of excerse are much more green and less desert like

At least the Iranians have the courage to declare that they will not submit to oppression, reasoning that killing is preferable to Pakistan's daily executions of its citizens.
