I know it might sound like a stupid q to pros but isnt the sight exposed in the exterior of almost all modern tanks, lets say the enemy deploys sharpshooters for the sole purpose of taking out tank sights, wouldnt it incapacitate a whole fleet of tanks in the modern battlefield if their sights are taken out by sharpshooters??, what counter measures does the army have for this and what protection do the sights offer in this regard?? cause a sight taken out would blind the commander and the gunner.

A rather noob question.
Does this means that this engine can be run of either petrol or diesel ?

Like say one time it is being run on petrol and next time on diesel ?

or is it like you have to stick to the fuel whatever you used first time?
Multi-fuel engines are designed so that they can be run on different types of fuels. They find a useful application in military forces where in war time the supply lines can be stretched and fuel can be difficult to find thus a multi fuel engine can make use of a wider range of options that can be available live civil use sources, captured fuel type etc. It is not like that you can either run it on petrol or diesel but it means that i can be run on BOTH.

For example, Klimov GTD-1000T 1000hp turbine engine could use multiple types of fuel including TS-1 and TS-2 aircraft fuel, diesel and even the low-octane gasoline used in civilian cars.

However to be honest, i am not sure if the 1200 hp 6TD-2 1200 hp diesel engines we used with Al Khalid are multi-fuel. The newer 1500 hp version is a multi-fuel engine however.

All 6td series are multi fuel water cooled engines.
