Yeah I know. The AGT1500 can run on anything that burns and can flow through the engine spray nozzles
Don't worry - I am with you there.Not a slag on you, it's just a trope in the press that is getting irksome by now.
But jet fuel sounds so much sexier!They keep writing that it runs on jet fuel. The Abrams actually carries a multi-fuel engine.
Isn't the Challenger 2 also multi-fuel? It prefers diesel but can run on anything?They keep writing that it runs on jet fuel. The Abrams actually carries a multi-fuel engine.

We're not hearing anything about the Challengers anymore.
The media is notorious for using technical tidbits to spin a sensational story. Claiming the Abram's turbine only runs on jet fuel is partially correct - if the fuel tanks are filled with jet fuel, then it can only run on jet fuel - so they are correct in that manner.

But it's sounds sensational, so facts be damned.
Me too. But the wheels are turning.I've noticed how quickly the UK move has fallen off the radar,
Admiral... Your wish is their commandI hope Canada sends some.
Opinion: Canada’s unused Leopard 2 tanks could make a difference in Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been requesting the tanks from allies for monthswww.theglobeandmail.com
This reminded me of this vid from March 2022.

From the article:On those Polish MiG-29s... this is showing up in a number of news sources:
Poland sent several MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine under the guise of spare parts
Most articles attribute the news to Dziennik Gazeta Prawna edition
Poland alleged to have covertly sent MiG-29s to Ukraine last spring
Poland provided Ukraine with aenglish.nv.ua
I totally agree with every word you say. The only observation I have is that they simply do not have the size to lead in Europe. Poland does and is. If other countries had half the commitment that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have shown, Ukraine would be in a much better place.Estonia should be mentioned as well. Over 1% of GDP to military aid.View attachment 703954
And Estonia just announced the transfer of all existing 155 mm howitzers to Ukraine. Yes, they will be replaced with South Korean K9 eventually. But taking into account the size of the country, its history of relationship with USSR/RF, no sizeable NATO troops contingent yet... I love Estonia.
Perfect for the Ghost of Kyiv.Just like "ghost guns", assembled from spare parts, so too, "ghost MiGs"?
But jet fuel sounds so much sexier!
Nice. That's two USAF C-5 Galaxy runs, shown below with two Abrams.

Let's get the CAF Leopard 2s. Load 'em up for Ramstein AB.
However, Russia is acting like the former Soviet Union and has been getting it's ass kicked with former Soviet equipment.
To think that "experts" in think tanks are not aware of that and saying its one more reason why its not practcal to send them.Yeah I know. The AGT1500 can run on anything that burns and can flow through the engine spray nozzles
