When did Kuwait first start using the M1A2? Way back in August 1994, it was reported that Kuwait got the first of 2-hundred-18 M1A2 Abrams battle tanks. Back then it was reported that they cost $5-million each, and the deal was done through the U.S. taxpayer subsidized Foreign Military Sales program.
Remember, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s own website states that Foreign Military Sales are “…funded by country national funds or U.S. Government funds.”
Then one year later, it was revealed that on top of the taxpayer subsidized Foreign Military Sale of additional M1A2s, Kuwait was about to get a special K version of the M1A2! The new M1A2K was supposed to be ready by 2019-20, but then some False Flag operation called The Pandemic happened.

In July 2021, it was revealed that Kuwait finally began receiving its new M1A2K Abrams.

Externally, the M1A2K looks like the M1A2SEP with remote controlled Tank Commander’s (TC) weapon system, and an external cooling and auxiliary electrical power generator mounted in the bustle rack on the back of the turret.

One promotional photo shows an M1A2K with an additional .50 cal machine gun mounted on the main-gun-mantlet, ‘Israeli’ style, as well as a possible .50 cal mounted on the gun-ring of the Loader’s hatch.

‘In the field’ photos of the M1A2K shows the standard M240 machine gun at the Loader’s station, no .50 cal mounted on the main-gun-mantlet but there is a machine gun mount present. Perhaps the only visual identifier is the .50 cal machine gun mount on the main-gun-mantlet?
