We got any tankers or armored authorities on here? Reading the news blurbs, FedEx or somebody is delivering some Abrams to the Ukes in the next few days. How long to train crews and support people? Is the Abrams as bad a fuel hog as advertised? ( lot of armchair criticism of a main battle tank that has to parked half the time waiting for fuel trucks to catch up ) Is it too heavy, too big, too thirsty, too wide for European roads and bridges? Will it make any difference when it's fielded?
flintlocke, in Colonel MacGregor's interview with Tucker about a month ago, he stated that the Abrams is only good for 8 hours. Then it has to be refueled. He derides the Abrams' turbine engines as fuel hogs and said they need to be refitted with modern diesel engines. Tucker's interview with Colonel MacGregor is here.
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
