1987 - Sixteen prototypes logged over 60,000 miles of logging. Development costs reached US$90 million. The GT-601 gas turbine has been extensively tested in the US, UK, France, Israel and Germany. ITI hoped to receive orders for the conversion of M-47, M-48, M-109, AMX-30 and German main battle tanks, as well as orders related to power generation, industrial and marine energy.

the time period coincides with the M 47, M 48 and Leopard -1 tanks, perhaps it was on this tank that the gas turbine was installed, and then it was installed on the Leopard -2 only from the Abrams
