The thickness of a tank's armor varies significantly depending on the model and era. For instance, during World War II, heavy tanks like the German Tiger I had armor thickness ranging from 25 mm to 120 mm in critical areas. Modern tanks, such as the M1 Abrams, utilize composite armor and reactive armor systems, which can effectively exceed 1,000 mm of equivalent thickness against certain threats. Overall, tank armor is designed to balance weight, protection, and mobility according to the intended combat role.

The armor thickness on Abrams tanks varies depending on the model and specific areas of the tank.

The use of advanced materials, including ceramics and depleted uranium layers, enhances protection against a wide range of threats, including armor-piercing projectiles and anti-tank missiles.
