Here’s 5 Reasons No Nation Wants to Go to Fight with the U.S. Army. The U.S. Army can bring an unprecedented amount of firepower onto any battlefield in the world. When it comes to lethal weapons, the U.S. Army has no shortage. Some may be too expensive, some too complex and others may be desired by politicians and defense contractors, but not the troops on the field. With that in mind, here are five of the best U.S. Army weapons: 1. AH-64 Apache 2. M-1 Abrams 3. M-109A6 Paladin 4. TOW Anti-Tank Missiles 5. M-2 .50-Caliber Machine Gun

AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter

30mm cannon and Hellfire missiles make this attack helicopter incredibly deadly. With future confrontations fought on smaller but more decisive locales the air power brought to any engagement is incredibly important and why the Apache helicopter such a powerful weapon.

Speed, firepower and range of the Apache allows this sophisticated weapons platform to hit the enemy from long range before they come into range of US army ground troops. It foes after enemy armor columns and insurgents equally well. From Desert Storm to OIF the Apache has fought very well. Because the US Army employs the Apache attack helicopter it has direct branch support and does not require on the US Air force or other branches to provide cover and attack threats. The US Amy can rely on its own weapons and birds to get the job done.

M1A1 Abrams Tank

At 60 tons with a 120mm main gun, depleted Uranium armor and a top speed of up to 40mph and up to 3 feet thick in several places makes the M1A1 a true battlefield monster.
