A crewless turret which I imagine the Russian Tankers in the Ukraine probably wish they had on the T90s,
I cannot help wondering how much the fuel saving will have on the "New" Abrams engine output.

This vehicle is just a tech demonstrator/proof of concept, it won't be replacing the Abrams but elements of its design could be adopted. This is basically the US equivalent of the Black Night

It reportedly ditches the gas turbine in favour of a hybrid diesel electric drive that has 50% better fuel efficiency

It's in the great tradition of prototypes, one offs, and interesting never-builts. Soon one of you wizards will be 3D printing one of these to build RC.
