As of my last update in October 2023, the exact number of M1 Abrams tanks lost in battle varies depending on the conflict. In the Iraq War, it is estimated that around 15 to 20 M1 Abrams tanks were destroyed in combat, primarily due to enemy fire and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). However, the tank's robust design and advanced technology have contributed to a relatively low loss rate compared to other armored vehicles. For the most accurate and up-to-date figures, consulting military reports or databases would be necessary.
The US Lost somewhere between 50-100 M1 Abrams where as the British lost 0 Challenger 1 Tanks.
They were both the axis powers last gambles to stop and destroy the advancing allied forces but were defeated the Japanese lost the rest of their carriers and lost some of their best battleships and cruisers. The Germans lost many of their best tanks and crews in Bulge.
US 82nd Airborne Division US 101st Airborne Division
32 british tanks were lost during world war 2
The Germans had taken so many tanks and other armored vehicles from other zones of battle, which were ultimately lost in the Battle of the Bulge. There was no hope of ever replacing these vehicles and manpower that was lost. They could have been used in a fighting retreat that would have cost many more Allied lives and additional months of battle.

America lost 80,000 troops and 700 tanks Germany lost 100,000 troops and 700 tanks
In both battles, the German Army had over 45,000 casualties and lost 500+ tanks. The Allies had 27,000 casualties and lost 300+ tanks.
Because of an oversight and Military strategy
I would say about 5-20 i can count 5 invading Iraq (very good considering they killed like 400 Iraqi tanks) I heard a story of one tank taking about 30 RPG's ant after it burned out they win in and found the crew alive.

Opinions will always vary, and are dependent upon the test conditions provided. Over 10k Abrams have been built,and over 8k currently serve with the USMC and US Army. Only 450 Challenger 2 tanks are in service with the British Army. The M1 has the best combat record of any modern main battle tank,in the World today.Thats a true story.M1s have been lost,but M1s have made scrap yards out of other nations tanks.Sure,this was against inferior tanks,but it still got the job done,and a M1 has never been destroyed by another tank.Insurgants and road sides bombs have destroyed M1s,though.
Terrible by today's standards and bad by the standards of the day. Many were lost because the quit working in the middle of battle and had to be abandoned.
JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof initially created Lost, but JJ eventually left the show and Carlton Cuse stepped in. Currently, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are the showrunners and JJ Abrams has basically no involvement.
