Reduces fuel consumption by 50%
The AbramsX is equipped with the parallel hybrid electric Powerpack, which is consist of Cummins Advanced Combat Engine (ACE) & SAPA Advanced Combat Transmission(ACT)
ACE have better⛽️efficiency than old type of engines, and it's a smaller engine overall, and generates more power Image
ACT is a family of high power density transmissions.
This new transmission design removes or replaces the most inefficient elements of a conventional transmission with highly efficient gears, improving transmission efficiency in even the worst situations to over 90%. Image
New gun for the AbramsX

In comparison with the M256, XM360 has same caliber and length (without muzzle brake) but it is almost half of M256 weight and have lower recoil. ImageImageImage

The weight of the AbramsX is 54 short tons (49 metric tons).
Weight reduced due to the new hybrid engine, lighter tracks, reduced fuel consumption and XM360 gun (which is 1.85 T lighter than M256), also reduced the turret internal volume. ImageImageImage

The russian Army radio communication issue.
russian Army in AFVs uses three basic types of the radios:
- R-123 (Frequency range 27 - 51 MHz)
- R-173 (Frequency range 30 - 75,999 MHz)
- R-168 (Frequency range 30 - 107,975 MHz)
The first two can connected with the R-124 or R-174 tank internal phone. The third one is uses the R-184 AVSK (Аппаратура внутренней связи и коммутации - АВСК)

All these radios can't provide the good communication, first two are very old. The third one is the newest what the russian army has. It is digital and also has Frequency Hopping (FH) and this is the biggest problem of this radio - he can't use the FH to connected with the other old types of the russian army radios, for them it using open frequency, so it's the same shit with the old ones. In case the using the FH, it's also shit - is able to jump frequencies up to 100 hops per second. It's easily intercepted and jammed.

For the last two years, the Russian army and volunteers have been trying to solve the problem with radio communications.
The army chose the R-187 Azart-BV radio (Frequency range 27 - 220 MHz; 220 - 520 MHz). As you can see on the image they trying to adapt these radio to the tank via these metallic construction and connection adapters for the headphones and antenna, but it's quite ineffective and army didn't get any result yet (radios aren't in service, or they are in very small numbers).
2/Image
The volunteers have choose the Chinese way. They have created the "Sotnik" and "Poltinnik" radios.
Actually these radios are the civilian Lira DM-1000, that is installed inside the metallic boxes and equipped with the adapters for the headphones and antennas and the tank power system.

P. S. the Lira DM-1000 is the Chinese Belfone BF-TM8500 (Frequency range 136-174 MHz; 350-390/400-480/450-520 MHz)

#USArmy YPG tests cutting edge parachute system
The Rapid Rigging De-Rigging Airdrop System (RRDAS), which promises to get Soldiers out of a drop zone and into the fight with the equipment they need faster than ever.
1/ ImageImageImage
Conventional cargo payloads are typically cushioned with a honeycomb-like cardboard material between the vehicle or other heavy item and the steel palette that carries it from an aircraft to the ground. Even with good cargo parachutes and a perfect landing...
2/ Image
...multiple layers of the honeycomb will collapse upon impact with the ground. RRDAS, however, dramatically reduces the amount of honeycomb necessary to dissipate the force of impact with 10 reusable airbag modules.

A small treat about war logistics:
Because all comparing the war in Ukraine with WWI, I decided to provide a small data about the "Resources crisis" of the Entente.

I just share the information from the great book "The Intimate Papers of Colonel House Volumes" by Seymour Charles.
Sadly I have only 3rd volume, in Russian, published in 1939 in USSR.
