This is why I hate top / bottom of the hour 'news updates'. I heard a quick soundbite of one guy claiming it would take days. Which on the face of it sound ridiculous. Yet it got reported anyways.

I can’t even think about this until they come up with green, eco-friendly, all-electric tanks. I’ve actually been shaking over this. Literally shaking.

Until they hit AT mines, barrages of ATGMs and get hit with artillery. Russians aren't going to try and engage tank for tank.

It will be an interesting decision by the operator of a simple armed drone. Does he try dropping one down the hatch of an Abrams while its refueling or what I would do is hit the massive highly flammable fuel truck filling it.

Typical DoD design-by-committee shitshow.

Well since it's the best tank in the world, I guess they did a pretty good job.

which other tank would you rather be in if you were facing off against an Abrams?

Burning or abandoned Abrams on the battlefields would be an embarrassment
I think about two thirds of the 150 or so M1 Abrams that we sent to the Iraqi Army were destroyed, captured, or inoperable within months fighting ISIS.
I don't recall the Obama administration being too embarrassed by that fact.

Regardless you have made my point that numbers will overcome a superior tank.
The vast majority of German tanks were Mark III and IV's that were decidedly not superior to the opposition. Especially the T34.
You should just stop now.

They run on diesel too.

M1 is run by jet fuel not diesel

What fuels can the Abrams run on?
Abrams is a multifuel vehicle, commonly it uses diesel. Its 1,500hp Honeywell turbine engine can burn a variety of fuels including diesel, jet fuel, gasoline, and marine diesel.

40k tanks total. I didn't say they lost 40k panzers and tigers.

You seem to be discounting The Battle of the Valley of Tears and the Battle of 73 Easting. Especially the former shows your premise is less than solid.
