Abrams famously runs on any fuel because it has a jet engine. In any case fuel is not a problem now.
Ammo is already supplied in western standards (for example 155mm, even precision shells) in hundreds of thousands of tons.
- mrguyorama 4y agoThe Abrams runs on "any" fuel but uses significantly more of that fuel to do anything. This works fine for America because we invest heavily into logistics in the military, but other countries probably won't be helped by having to double up their supply to most tank operations.
- H8crilA 4y agoFuel really isn't a problem there any more, and neither is logistics broadly speaking. They received hundreds of thousands of tons of military support. Supply up to the Ukrainian border of specific weapon systems is, specifically slow political decisions. It seems there is no consensus that Ukraine should decisively win. And even if they get an Abrams that has half the range they'd take it at this point.
