Simply putting big engines on barn doors does not get you supersonic
(experience with the F-4 notwithstanding.)

I had a thought, the M1 tank has a gas turbine engine, could we fit reheat to
it and use the beastie as a fleet defense aircraft ???

Less outlandish, how about a similar conversion of a jet-turbine
helicopter?

The tank has a better gun.
Remember that is our friends whole premise that we not radiate radar..
