This Is Why The US Military Doesn’t Feel Threatened

M1117

US Military / CC

This right here is the M1117. It’s a tank that suggests a twist to how these vehicles are usually designed. Usually, speed isn’t the most critical question. How much power the engine uses up is usually higher in the list of priorities to consider. 

However, speed is the main feature of the M1117; it can drive at a speed of 70 miles per hour, which is about double what tanks can usually do; usually, the top speed limit of a tank is 25 to 45 miles per hour.
