US Army tests M1E3 Abrams upgrade..

  What I have been agonizing about..a lighter, quicker Abrams, still carrying a 120 mm gun. ...This one designed to counter the advanced drone systems warfare.

  Sports a turbocharged 1100 hp Detroit diesel hybrid with 250 hp electric motor.  It seems to be utilizing the new, mostly rubber tracks now used on the largest farm tractors.

  This would almost eliminate the acoustic signature..allowing a closer approach to the enemy, night or day. Hints of radar resistant technology would only add to it's versatility on the battlefield.
