Or worse still, falling up several flights of stairs and off a balcony.I will be interested to see if Kim Jong Un makes it home without falling out of a window on the train.
I'll believe it when I see it:

Smart. The canny Swedes are angling for contracts postwar. We may recall that before the Russian invasion that SAAB was looking to have the Gripen license-built in Ukraine.Sweden to consider sending fighter jets to Ukraine, SR radio reports
The Swedish government is considering donating Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine to help it fight Russia, Swedish public radio (SR) reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources.www.reuters.com
The vid was about the Challenger tanks Ukraine received from the UK.Hey mate
Got a summary of what was there? Seeing Gobble removed the whole account about two hours after your post it should be interesting

I've read in the article that the Abrams needs jet fuel. I've also read elsewhere it can run on any liquid that burns. Which is it? I'm asking for a friend.‘Punching fists of democracy’: A guide to how Ukraine’s tanks compare to Russia’s

All fuels - just about anything but straight water.I've read in the article that the Abrams needs jet fuel. I've also read elsewhere it can run on any liquid that burns. Which is it?. I'm asking for a friend.
Most turbine engines will run on any flammable liquid, BUT...I've read in the article that the Abrams needs jet fuel. I've also read elsewhere it can run on any liquid that burns. Which is it?. I'm asking for a friend.
Na zdarovya!Most turbine engines will run on any flammable liquid, BUT...
The life of the engine will be severely shortened. e.g. The Rolls-Royce 250 series allows avgas as an emergency fuel, but has a limitation of 6 hours per engine overhaul period.
So, you might only want to use that stash of vodka to get home in an emergency.
I beleive the main issue with the Abrams was logistics - the Army wanted to solely operate it on JP4 or JP8 so it didn't have to provide an additional logistic stream just for diesel. This is also where the media gets confused, thinking that the M1 can only operate on jet fuel.Most turbine engines will run on any flammable liquid, BUT...

Makes sense. Diesel is a lot closer to JP4 than avgas (or vodkaI beleive the main issue with the Abrams was logistics - the Army wanted to solely operate it on JP4 or JP8 so it didn't have to provide an additional logistic stream just for diesel. This is also where the media gets confused, thinking that the M1 can only operate on jet fuel.
However, the Abrams gets much better mileage with diesel plus the Bradley uses diesel, so the Army changed it's mind.
Interestingly enough, the old Ford Model T was multi-fuel.Makes sense. Diesel is a lot closer to JP4 than avgas (or vodka)...

The Ukrainian tankers are calling it a "sniper" due to it's accurate long range ability. One of the tankers interviewed claimed they took out a T-55 at a range of 5km, too.

Or those Ilyushin Il-28 Beagles. Honestly, imagine being assigned to fly those things over Ukraine.Those F-16s better arrive before Putin gets those DPRK MiG-15s.
