Actually the M1A1 and A2 are very strong underneath its the top of the Abrams that is vulnerable
The abrams tank in its strongest areas has 18 inches of Depleted Uranium Armor the hardest material known to man.
its the same material that is used to manufacture the Sabot Antitank round that it fires it can pierce 4 T-72 tanks side by side befor it stops flying pretty tough shit
in the last gulf war they were found stuck in the side of a M1A1 that was hit with Fratricide it couldnt pierce the M1A1 tank like it could a normal steel tank
