I'm not sure if an Abrams could reenter in one piece. The space around the turret and gun would basically act like a plasma cutter.

Does anyone know what the terminal velocity of an Abrams would be? I would assume it would fall front down, but it might also tumble.

It would be fun to try.

Turrets are only held in by gravity, drag would overpower it and eject it from the ring before the unique geometry would cause any weird heating hotspots.

Great point.
