lol I have been in so many game discussions where people explain that AbramsX is not a fighting tank. Its a display tank.

It's an actual fighting vehicle, I'm pretty sure all it's components there aren't mock ups, but it is still a Tech Demonstrator.

More real than Russian Armata if you ask me.

AbramsX is a technology demonstrator, it meant to show off a specific parts of equipment can be individually put on an existing tanks. It may not wholly replace the original Abrams series.

In my opinion it does not make sense for AbramsX to be officially adopted as a whole package. A redesign of the turret which will be impossible to upgrade on an old tanks, it will require replacing most of the existing equipment, in which will contribute to a high cost per units for upgrades. There's also a cost of re-train a crews to operate a completely new set of equipment in the turret, new sensors, firing control, new autoloader etc.

The army will probably pick something cheap out of it though, like that dust-reduction side skirt and laser warning system, and put them on an actual Abrams.

the Abramsx is a lot more real than the armata though and who says they won't make it cuz that is what they said about the faxx fighter jet and wingmen drones but here they are, and besides the current abrams is getting to heavy like 72tons or something but the abramsx is made of light weight material and still uses the same ammo type as the m1s and it uses less crew which makes it cheaper. all in all a possibility and definitely realer than the armata and Comanche...

AbramsX will NEVER reach production.
Its purpose as a technology demonstrator is to inform the U.S. Army’s development on options for its upcoming M1E3 upgrade that will eventually be designated as the M1A3.

[LockedandFiring]

Because the AbramsX is prototype to the M1A3 Abrams. They're still trying to figure out what they want it to have. I am curious though if they'll put the new ifv in once the competition concludes

There are footages of Armata moving around and shooting. What footage do we have of the AbramsX? None
