You have THOUSANDS of Abrams tanks - the desert storage areas in AZ are filled with them. Most, if not all Abrams losses have been through IEDs and the new super-effective slug firing self-forming munitions that beat most everything. AFAIK, no Challenger has ever encountered such a weapon.
You'll note that 553 total Abrams have been recovered from combat situations - many of those are undoubtedly due to the combination of IED and or the latest Russian-made ATGMs I mentioned above. Thankfully, not a single crewman has lost his life. Two were killed in the BoB Challenger 2 incident.
