This story was filed by CBSNews.com's Sean Alfano On June 5, 1989, the city of Beijing, wearied from weeks of unrest, desperately needed a dose of hope. When it arrived in the form of a slender, unarmed man staring down a column of military tanks, observers could not believe their eyes.
The first M-1 tanks were delivered to the U.S.Army on February 28, 1980. The new tank was named for the late General Creighton W. Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and commander of the 37th Armored Battalion. The M-1 mounts an M68E1 105 millimeter main gun. Two 7.62mm NATO M240 machine guns are also mounted, one coaxially with the main gun, and one on top of the turret at the loader's station. A .50 caliber Browning M2 HB machine gun is mounted at the commander's station for anti-aircraft defense.
