The AGT1500 gas turbine engine of the M1 Abrams is fairly controversial. There are a number of common misconceptions that make the engine seem much worse than it actually is. In this video, I'll talk about those misconceptions, and how the AGT1500 stands out among other tank engines because of its enhanced performance, design, and survivability. While gas turbines make sense for the main battle tank of the United States, diesels would likely be better suited for other nations.
