In Respekt

The tank blowing all the smoke had a blown turbo unit, it was NOT an issue with its smoke generator. That's what it looks like when one of the turbo's blow as the diesel ends up getting blown into the exhaust and creates white smoke. You could also tell by the struggling engine sound. People are incorrectly saying it was the smoke generator because the tank has a smokescreen generation system that can blow diesel into the exhaust by choice to generate a smoke screen, but there is no way the crew would do that on a public road and even on exercises it needs authority to use these days because of pollution concerns. Quite why they did not stop is anyone's guess but these things happen. Tanks are in some ways more delicate than you might imagine sometimes and they love to break on you when they can. ALL tanks (British, American, Russian, etc, etc) are like that. In world war II the biggest eliminator of both allied and axis tanks combat effectiveness was not enemy fire, it was....mechanical issues!

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.

​@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.

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

Turbo seals have gone and engine oil from the turbo is passing through the seals into the other side of the turbo causing it to burn engine oil. They should stop because this can cause the runaway engine effect and blow the whole engine. Can’t imagine a new engine being cheap on one of those.

Straight off the train, one Chally has to be towed by another and in the second section another has either a water ingress or diesel entering the turbo. And these will have been selected as the least likely to break down. I wonder how many of the rest are serviceable?

I dare say that road might be a tad skatey when it rains next there's usually some oil spray.

Yes, thats a very big smoke cloud 😅 We should inform Mr. Habeck 😅

It´s always a bit controversal to say this but beautiful tanks!!!

The armourers at 1SG in Muster had a Bedford that smoked like that.

Imagine driving with that thing coming at you.

All the smoke emanating from the tank was not as a result (as others have suggested) of a blown turbo or the (camouflage) smoke generator. It was, in fact, the result of the crew stopping off at a 24-hour petrol station and buying one of those small disposable barbecues, and (completely against military regulations) having a barbecue inside the Tank.

Imagine, those noises approaching you in the frontline.

The Tank: Green Peace left us🤣🤣🤣

I think one of the tanks was stolen from the train.

Padderborne Senelarger Munster Celle etc all British Army bases during the Col War, many Germans will remember UK tanks driving around on a regular basis. Looking at the tanks there is a good chance they are the same tanks from those days (Mk2 Challangers) !! John ...UK

You'd think they would have put the exhaust issue tank last in the column?!!

.. There's smoke shooting out of one of these tanks, the one from the forest..

@@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.

@@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!
