@momononoloco yes - all Russian trolls call Putin demented in their posts. that's how you can tell who we are. but since you didn't read the entire post, you end up looking like a troll yourself.
have fun with that.

Actually, they use turbine engines in Abrams because it has the best power to weight ratio of any engine, it's also the simplest and easiest to maintain.
Germany has the best tanks in ww2 as well... how'd that go for them? limited numbers due to complexity, and when they inevitably broke down, they lacked the means and parts to repair them.
The military doesn't give two shits about fuel efficiency, it's all about combat effectiveness; and in that regards, the Abrams is second to none...

@wildbill83 i concede both points. jet engines have simplified passenger air travel, and miltary combat in aircraft.
that said, NO OTHER NATIION ON EARTH tries to put jet engines in their tanks. After 20 years of evaluating the performance of the ABRAMS.
The US navy is now conducting experiments to see if Jet Engines should be used in combat ships.

@SusanInFlorida Naval ships have been using gas turbines since the 60's; basically everything except mainline nuclear powered ships use gas turbines
also, no other nation in the world has had a MBT in service as long as the Abrams with any where near the combat effectiveness of the Abrams. The Abrams has destroyed more tanks than many of these nations have even produced.
It's been around for 43 years, had 4400+/- produced, and yet not a single one has ever been lost in tank vs tank warfare... again, how many other countries can claim the same? Many of their tanks haven't even seen any major engagements...
It's one thing to judge the performance of something on paper, It's quite another to judge it based on actual experience; and there's very little overlap between the two...

History is filled with instances where a country produced something believed to be groundbreaking, only for it to flop in actual use; As well as things deemed obsolete/too simple that are more effective than anyone could imagine & continue to be used...
The US arsenal is full of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" weapons...

NATO members are actually very united. Germany has to be seen to be dragging its feet to make its eventual acquiescence more palatable to a domestic audience.
Ukraine will get its tanks , more likely sooner than much later , and Putin will eventually see the folly of his enterprise. He's outfoxed no-one.

Abrams are too heavy , too complicated , but can run on any fuel. Ukraine could use Korean K 9 and K2 Black Panther , both going to be manufactured in Poland .

lol, women and tanks 😂 Leopards and Abrams are 1970's technology and were good of fucking Sovjet tanks . Currently Le clerk and Korean Black Panther 1980's technology are newest , but as offensive weapon they are outdated. A 5 mill tank can be wipe out with 50.000 weapon. Honey stay in the kitchen .
