Supposedly the US tanks are very fuel inefficient per the Colonel he interviews.
M1A1 gets about 1/2 mile per gallon of gasoline on a good day going downhill. Yes, you read that right - GASOLINE. Not diesel.
I am firmly against ANY further aid going to Ukraine. It's not about defending American ideals. It's about keeping all the shady shite Uncle Joe and his kid, Hunter, have been up to for a long, long time. There is little reason not to believe that those ****ers, along with several others in DC, have sold our nation to the highest bidders.
A whole lot of things are starting to make sense now that the light is beginning to be shined ever-so-lightly on the evidence they've been trying to conceal for so long.

Dead wrong. I spent 22 years on the Abrams.

Our military uses rail service all the time to move equipment around. I wouldn't assume they are going to Ukraine. I've seen military trains for years going through my area. Long before this Ukraine/Russia War.
There is no doubt this is true. I hardly ever see them though and its rare I see them. But with the talk of the US sending tanks and troop carriers, then all of a sudden I see a mile long train with M1's and Bradleys facing south.
It would seem like a logical conclusion or likely possibility that this is what is going on.

Coming home after dark on Sunday, there was train sitting on the tracks, with about 3/4 to 1 mile of M1 Abrams and Bradley troop carriers. I thought to myself, this better not be going to Ukraine.
Maybe not only for Ukraine. Perhaps we are preparing for war with Russia.

But typically JP-8 for best performance.
JP8 has nothing to do with performance and was developed as a multi-fuel to get away from diesel and JP4 for the Army...

Correct. The adva tage of JP-8 is it's universal. We would fill up our Abrams with the same fuel as a Bradley, M113 or Humvee.
The turbine engine in the Abrams will pretty much burn anything that combusts.

Russia claimed it has destroyed four Bradleys. But they haven't been delivered yet.
Similarily, they have claimed destroying an Abrams tank.
I guess the yokels in the Russian outback believe that stuff.

Why do you want to sleuth? You FBI?
I don't trust aggie armadillos.
Your investigation skills are pretty good or your google map skills are pretty good.

I think it is great sending that Abrams gal over to Ukraine! She’s as big as a tank and they can’t shoot at her because it would be racist. Not sure about that Bradley fella.

Well looks like Abrams are going to Ukraine. I suspect what I saw sitting on the tracks will be in Ukraine soon.

That is the whole point, to get us fully dragged into this shot show.
