Russia and our army
In most countries, fighter jet aircraft and air oil
Different types of fuel are used for ground-based equipment such as tanks and trucks
Take our army for example
Most fighter jets and aircraft are jet-oil kerosene, which our military and U.S. military call JP-8
The Army’s ground troops, tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, etc. use diesel diesel
Our navy ship fuel also uses ship diesel
But in the case of the U.S. military, surprisingly
We’ve unified all of our land, sea, and air fuel with JP8 aircraft
The U.S. military is
Army, Navy, Air Force aircraft and helicopters, of course
All naval vessels, including destroyers, cruisers, and transports, except nuclear-powered ships and carrier submarines
It uses JP8 jet oil, which is an aviation oil
Even for tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled trucks, they built or modified engines to use jet fuel JP8
All the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, all the vehicles
It’s powered by a single oil, JP8
Thanks to you, the ranks are not divided
You don’t have to take care of two or three oil bottles
You only need to take care of one thing with a single type of oil
It’s compatible with each other, so we can supply one oil type to all military equipment
It’s going to be really easy
For example, an oil truck that came to support ground tanks or armored vehicles
We can refuel our helicopters
Even a refueling truck
If we don’t get access to our armored units, or if we don’t keep up with the maneuvering speed
The Chinook helicopter, full of fuel, flew and landed
He’s either refueling his armored vehicle
On the contrary, if the helicopter runs out of fuel, you can use it to get fuel from your friend’s car
Of course, the fuel efficiency of aviation oil is worse than that of diesel diesel fuel
The fuel efficiency of the M1A2 tank is very bad, so I can’t even think about it
The United States is an oil producer
The U.S. military is more concerned about the war itself than about the battle
Considering the importance of overall supply rather than fuel efficiency
and unified the conclusion
