Kind of hard to believe tanks can’t do that now.


AFAIK, no main battle tank can do that now.

Why could they not? My CAR can do much of that. The tanks have batteries and an alternator, just charge a battery for the electronics.

I am not a tank expert. I do know there is no reason that while sitting they could not run their electronics. Making them a hybrid would make no difference there as it is just a bigger battery. Battery operation would be more silent but in a tank battle I am not sure that matters much and doubt battery range would be much either.

I believe the Abrams tanks are already at the high end of weight limits so adding more batteries would obviously increase the weight a lot
