I meant that Ukraine is decimating Russian oil production.
I feel like I read somewhere that modern tanks run on jet fuel?
AFAIK only Abrams do.
And some T-80s
Really? That's interesting, I just ~~lookup up~~ checked wikipedia and indeed they can use it. TIL.
I thought jet fuel and diesel are similar.
I dunno really. Abrams have a turbine engine that is optimized for jet fuel but can run on "most" fuels.
Most tanks have a diesel piston engine.
