The Abrams they send over are export models without the special armour and turbine engines, so western military nerds can say that the US spec is Abrams is still invincible or some other bullshit
I didn't know they removed the turbine engine for export. I was fully expecting fancy electronics and armor to be stripped off. That's also a good point, the military nerds will probably not shut up about how its not the absolute specimen the US Army/ Marines use.
The turbine engine have to be removed because no supply lines can maintain the fuel needed.
They won't remove the turbine engine. This would be a MAJOR redesign of the whole drivetrain that would take years to do, if even possible given space constraints from the current drivetrain. We're talking about a completely different and much larger engine, quite a different gear, and then of course all the ratchets and sprockets down stream that are now subjected to different loads and torque and whatnot.
No, the Abrams that are going to the Ukrainian Nazis sometime newxt year (lol) will have a turbine engine, and they will suck ass.

The turbine engine have to be removed because no supply lines can maintain the fuel needed. The Abrams is designed with US superiority in mind.
