Russian Tanks vs US Tanks: Why They Are Much Lighter | WION Podcast

Russian tanks such as the T 72 and T 90 are significantly lighter than American rivals like the M1 Abrams, reflecting a very different approach to battlefield design. Their lower silhouette, compact turret and automatic loading system reduce internal space and allow engineers to use less heavy armour across the vehicle. Lower weight also helps these tanks cross bridges, move through difficult terrain and operate effectively with less powerful diesel engines. The heavier Abrams, by contrast, prioritises greater armour protection and uses a more powerful gas turbine engine to maintain mobility. Together, these differences reveal how Russian and American tank designs balance protection, firepower, crew requirements and battlefield mobility in very different ways.
