It's a powerful thing:

To be fair that's a Saudi Abrams, so not up top the spec of the M4A2 SEP2 and various developments, but there's an upgraded warhead (9M133-1) which is alleged to be capable of defeating most modern MBTs.

Here's a missile that I find truly scary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrahMos-II

From launch to impact (up to 300km range) in just over two minutes.....It can very probably carry a 20Kton nuclear warhead too.

Not sure it matters what type of Abrams it is, they all brew up the same if hit by that.

As I understand it the newer variants have reactive armour panels that defend them against single charge HEAT warheads:

If I have my designations right this is the M1A2 SEP2 TUSK.....Apparently updating this version (or whatever the latest version actually is) with the Israeli Trophy active defense system has been mooted as a response to the increased ATGM threat.
