In Respekt

God bless our British Friends and Brothers in Arms

I've updated the description to include this. You're not the only one to have mentioned the blown turbo. And yes you're right about tanks often having issues, big and complicated machines that need a lot of maintenance. There's plenty of videos from previous years of this exercise showing US tanks having problems during road marches. Hence having plenty of vehicles, crew and mechanics to keep the battlegroup moving is key. Also they did stop just before the brow of the hill for a few minutes before making the decision to continue with the camp only being 5 minutes further along. The escort vans and police gave plenty of warning to oncoming traffic.

If blown turbo then its engine oil leaking from the turbos worn bearings that is being burned.

Cheers dits

Ich kenne es so, rechts ranfahren um unnötigen Schaden am Triebwerk zu vermeiden, Bergepanzer kommt gleich. Ich bin selber Bpz2 gefahren und hätte diesen Pz abgeschleppt. Dieser war im Film auch zu sehen!

@@niviuk8335 That's right. Diesel is injected directly into the cylinders. It doesn't go anywhere near the turbos

@FalklandsRforeverBritish This guy was clearly being Sarcastic how thick can you be?

No I’m Spartacus

@FalklandsRforeverBritish how thick can you be, it’s not supposed to be doing that on a road move.

@FalklandsRforeverBritish I really hope this is the dumbest thing I read this week 😂

​@FalklandsRforeverBritish They weren't doing that on purpose - that tank has a blown turbo and that's what it looks like when one of the turbo's blow as the diesel ends up getting blown into the exhaust. They weren't using the smoke generator hence the black smoke coming out of one side. Use of smoke systems are highly regulated now due to the pollution and harm that the inhalation of diesel smoke can do to people. They would never use it on a road move.

I've seen the pictures of the columns of Chieftains back in the BOAR days!

@@CobraEmergency my Regiment had around 60 chieftains of different variants as well as varying support Troops!

Same here, Detmold 1980’s

Yes when I served in Detmold about the same number, these days that's probably the whole British army supply of tanks.

Clearly that tank is Identifying as part of the Red Arrows display team!

Is that what you call a smoke screen LOL

@@mickc7388 😅

@@mickc7388 It's what you call a blown turbo, and the crew absolutely should've stopped. EDIT: Just listen to the difference in the engine sound between the smoking one and the rest of them. You can clearly hear the smoker's engine struggling.

How dare you!?!

😂🤣😂👍🏻🇬🇧

...die war schon weit vorher raus. 😂😂😂😂

@@floriangeyer3454 😂

Very good, sehr gut 😂😂

Sorry for our English gents mucking up your beautiful countryside. British tanks arent quite on par with the German marvels you lot are known for.

...perfect name, Vikingman. Skøl, brother! 🤘🍻

@@waldundwiesenandi4079 Cheers m8 👌🤘😉

You mean towed by CRARRV, CVRT weighs only about 8.7 tons , don't think it would pull 67 t challenger !

CVTR???

@@dougie1032 sorry Dougie i got the wrong abbrviation, what should of put CRV - Combat Recovery Vehicle. what am i like and i will say it " Iam a plonker " lol

No need to give the Russians any more info than necessary :D

Yes, of course, they are now going to Ukraine to be scrapped. We don't need any English tanks here in Germany. Not even American ones. We want our peace, not war. Just go home.

Weird huh - they already have one under tow, maybe they thought it would delay things too much?

Then visit the countryside of Germany, the cities are lost, like the other european cities.

Indeed and the thick smoke gives a nice touch to it.

@@199gSauerkraut You are talking nonsense. And you probably know it. Or you are just trolling.

@@ckeuer No, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Duisburg and Berlin are like Arabia.

@@199gSauerkraut Dann kennst Du Arabien nicht.

No maintenance is very good, you cannot factor in for a blown turbo. Shit happens

german police gave waaaaay less of a shit before the 80s/90s!

Hahaha Cold War it was just normal in Germany wasn’t it convoys on both sides

¿Que?

hat gleich nebelwerfer im Tank mit verbaut 😅

Yes it’s just using diesel to create smoke

It can create a smoke screen by injecting diesel onto the hot exhaust. But I am pretty sure it is not intending to do so in this video! Due to the hazard & the sheer volume of smoke as well as very black smoke from lower in the engine bay - ist kaputt

It isn't the smoke generator, it is the broken engine. The tank poorly able to climb the hill. No power at all. The following ones are doing the same more or less in ideling.

It’s the turbocharged, kaput 💪🏻

I don't know about you but it's pretty standard where I'm from to have an ARV in convoy

Bollocks!

what causes a blown turbo to ingest oil? I thought they only compressed air into the mix.

@@cosmicdebris2223 The shaft in a turbocharger is lubricated with engine oil via an inlet and outlet line. Seals are used to prevent the oil from reaching the exhaust side or intake side of the turbocharger. On the exhaust side, there are very high temperatures in the turbocharger, which is why the seal often breaks. Then the engine pushes oil under pressure into the exhaust which then smokes so much due to the high temperatures instead of the oil running back into the engine. The oil in the exhaust burns badly.

@@kevinj24535 That was very helpful. thanks. Yes burning oil and the subsequent effects are a no brainer, but I didn't see how the oil got in to the combustion chamber. So it's defective seals on the turbo unit and the engine oil (forced under pressure into the combustion chamber) that is also used to lubricate the impeller shaft etc. Many thanks for that.

Half of Germany was.

@@HouseholdDog two thirds actually and all of it, were it not for the Russians. Can't blame Germany for that.

@@neilpook3719 Blame or not. A large chunk was part of the Warsaw Pact.

@@HouseholdDog ONE third is not as large as TWO. Can't you count? You're clutching at straws to satisfy your cognitive bias. I was a cold war soldier and lived there for 25 years afterwards. I know how the people thought about that, because they all lived it. Literally hundreds of them died trying to get over to the west. There were whole countries that were part of the Warsaw pact. Not just a chunk and none of them had a choice in being in that. Like Hungry, the East Germans rioted and tried to overthrow the Russian occupational force. Like the Hungarians they were crushed with tanks. 1953, 3 years before Hungry but nobody even talks about it. You don't know shit! Go read a history book!

@@HouseholdDog in 1953, 2 years before the WARSAW pact was even formed; East Germans did what the Hungarians were yet to do. They stood up against the Russians and fought them. But same the Hungarians, the Russians crushed the rebellion with their tanks. Right up until the end of the cold war, hundreds of East Germans died trying to escape to the west. If they didn't die or got caught attempting, they were imprisoned, tortured and conditioned to 'their' way of thinking. As well as the rest of their family and close friends subsequently, going to prison. Their children would get taken away and force adopted into communist line families. Their parents would never know where they went. You could go to prison for a number of 'crimes against the state'. In that time, it was the most highly surveilled country in the world. If the Germans had really wanted to live under that regime, things like that wouldn't have been needed. I was a cold war soldier and in a FEBA (Forward edge of the battle area) brigade; if it were ever to happen. We knew exactly who we were up against and how many. We were getting the cream of the Russian army. Not an NVA regiment anywhere. Why? Because the Russians didn't trust them. We had German Bundeswehr and the also had FEBA brigades. We trusted them because unlike the Russians we knew they weren't going to run over to the other side. Like every country that the Russians assimilated into the soviet union. None of them were there by choice. It was propped up by some hand picked puppet dictators. We can't change what happened in history. But you can open your mind and change it! If you bother to look past your cognitive bias.

Maybe there was a crew shortage issue, vehicle still needs to get there, stick it in neutral and tow. You need more than just a driver when moving through civilian areas.

😃🧰🛠

RMP Royal military police , not MODP Ministry of Defence Police, 2 completey different entity’s ..

They are actually driving NW, not W, heading for US base at Hohenfels. And since tanks don't fly, they drive and don't "march", they don't drive in straight lines but as roads and country side permit.

Most probably heading to US training area/base at Hohenfels Germany, which is near Regensburg, Eastern Bavaria. They drove through Parsberg near Regensburg. Took the same roads myself just last week.

War is not environmental friendly…

War never is .!

It's not smoke in the sense of as the Germans would call it Nebel or einnebeln. Defect.

Well considering most uk armour dates from 1960s I think putin would laugh if these clapped out machines entered Russia.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

​@@thecurlew7403No it doesn't date from the 1960's, clearly you haven't a clue. The Challenger 2 was built 1990'S. The Scorpion/Scimitar was built I the 1960-70's and us being phased out with the Ajax replacing it as Ajax has had it's design bugs fixed.

@dc-4ever201 😀😀😀😀 Design bugs 🚢 ships don't work no crews ajax a headache the fv432 1960s as I've said clapped out small defence force stay away from Russia.

@dc-4ever201 You put your trust in Christ not these smokies when putin destroys them will you fire stones at him there spinning you a story your really under communism and you can't see it .

@dc-4ever201 If ww3 breaks out you'd better get right with God stop ✋️ putting your trust in steel.
