If Ukraine gets the 300 tanks they asked for, thst will be a game changer.
USA has over 6000 tanks... They just pussyfooting and dragging this out

The stage is being set, the pieces are slowly moving and the world superpowers are shifting. The human bloodthirsty violent monkey brain is once again restless after more than 70 years of world peace.
I also believe that China has very secret but heavy investment somewhere in this story and will use it as a means of consolidating more nationalism power, then one day Taiwan will wake up to something new.
On the other side of the world, since 9/11, USA is slowly going in another direction of political self-destruction. Did you know that one objective of bin Laden's was that USA would use monies for social and healthcare programs that keeps a nation strong, and instead pour it into their militarized industrial complex and create vast wealthy corrupt individuals who control the country's politics. While the common people suffered from their decisions which would lead to a very polarized political divide? Which has happened and is happening. The ridiculousness of USA politics since 2016 is reaching unknown-before heights of racism, hatred and stupidity and half of voters believing that a party needs to "be cruel and hurt the right people." You know bin Laden already won?

None of what you propose matters. The Abrams turbine can use nearly any liquid hydrocarbon as fuel.sMASH wrote:Jet fuel is Double filtered pitch oil.Dizzy28 wrote:US tanks use jet A1 fuel.

The ONLY additional logistics for thst support is they need to supply a lot more tankers of that compared to diesel.
... Only the quantity.
All they hadda to is make a few more spot sales for ocean tankers, and rent a few road tankers to send it to the war zones.
Thats not hard to do, cause spot sales in Trinidad happened alll the time. From methanol to bunker oil.
We had to modify operations to accommodate spot sales allll the time. Just hope no plants go down, to make up the quota for the scheduled boats. Sometimes the later boats got pushed back a few days csuse there wouldnt be enough in time.
One cargo ship of jet fuel might be us$40m. A whole ship... Just the price of a few tanks.
Its not hard to do, they just don't want to do it.
What I was speaking about is the logistics of the fuel accommodation. What ur taking about is changing the fuel injection nozzle to suit the different fuels.adnj wrote:None of what you propose matters.

M1 A3 can burn just about anything: diesel, kerosene, gasoline, aviation fuel, cooking oil, alcohol, etc. It's also maintenance sensitive and very expensive.

You just don't get it, Coalemus. The tank burns almost anything without modification.
Currently the M1 Abrams main battle tank is no longer in operational service with the US military and a number of these tanks were upgraded to the M1A2 standard. US Army has over 2 300 of these tanks in reserve storage. The original M1 was never exported.sMASH wrote:Guess what, tight wing sources say the tanks to be sent to Ukraine is new tanks that are being built now.
So not jepardising the present stock piles.
And, that would reach by late this year, or even next.
Lol.
