I am wondering if the Abrams could be re-engined with a modern diesel. The turbine is an incredible engine, and packaged with its gearing is a beautiful unit, but very very expensive.
Since the turbine's development, some fantastic things have happened with diesel tech, which might make a look at repowering with diesel a competitive option(?)Comments please.
Top speed would be an issue for slugging around a 70-ton vehicle with a diesel.
