    On top of that, the APU uses less fuel, generates a lower IR signature, and is less noisy than the diesel engine of the tank. And probably is optimized to generate electricity.

    To be honest, the Abrams engine is 70 tech. You can replace it with a more modern gas turbine that is way more fuel-efficient, lighter, compact, and more reliable. But, sadly, the money for that is never available.

    And Germany has a reputation for promising a lot just to get the factories (jobs) in Germany, and after that just going for the lowest and cheapest number/version. The others are just tired of that.

    Not that I know of. But the turret is from a Leclerc and the SAM is a Crotale one.

    Source of that, please. They made a chassis that will be the basis for a new system generation - MBT, SPG, IFV, etc. Like many other nations. And, by the way, the latest Russian SPG doesn't use that chassis - the 2S35 uses a modified T-90 chassis, not an Armata one.

    Nope, just that we don't have enough concrete information to make an honest guess. Only (more or less) controlled videos and a lot of crap that comes from open sources. Many contradict the others. What do we really know? Is a tank (duh) with a 125mm gun, active defense, an unnamed turret...

    High-fly ones are out of the range of SPAAGs anyway and in the range of normal SAM systems. And they have a cost that justifies firing Mister SAM at them.

    The radar emits energy and can be detected/tracked - soon receives a visit from Mister HARM. Passive sensors are passive (duh), and not detected. With high-end passive IR sensors, enough computer power (and good camouflage), the drones operators never know what kills them. Unless they are very...

    Well, about the two videos - one presents sources, and the other does not. The number of factual errors in the lazerpig video is huge.

    Not to be a bad boy, but this is a debunking of that crappy video.
