It is most likely a blown turbo, evidenced by not just the smoke but also the reduction in power. Some commenters may advise you that it's the smoke system, which the vehicle does indeed have the facility to produce by injecting diesel into the exhaust system. However, that's not what we're seeing here. It'd also be irresponsible for the commander to activate that on a public road. Like many others, I'm surprised the vehicle wasn't towed as there's a CRARRV behind the vehicle packet.

The party piece of this Advanced Mitsi PHEVs Atkinson cycle engine is when stationary it can return unbelievably good fuel efficiency ( it runs on different number of cylinders depending on generator charging load when stationary) this stationary charge ability is especially effective whilst charging the 12KWh traction battery being also able to simultaneously power the electric A/C for cooling / heating the car, your off grid tent or caravan . Stationary when deployed correctly it is also very effective at powering electric power tools welders, cooking ovens or a power shower, it's also unbelievable efficient for our residential backup power supply,all via the standard V2L CHadeMo Mitsi PHEVs 12 kWh battery power take off ( CHadeMo has standard bi directional Vehicle 2 Load 240 volt 16 amp power take off circuit) In my experience the advanced Mitsi PHEV Atkinson cycle ICE ( Internal Combustion Engine) is more economical than my emergency standby 6KW Honda generator & unbelievably much much quieter on camp sites. Mitsi PHEV can power my caravan all weekend in charge mode automatically starting 2-3 times all weekend for 20-40 minutes to recharge the 12kwh battery pack (usually automatically starting when the electric power shower is used in my caravan) And regularly only using less than 5 litres off petrol all weekend😎 How useful would an Advanced PHEV self chargeing Challenger Tank with V2L power take off be in battlefield conditions , troops would get a bonus hot power shower from there PHEV tanks 🤠👍

You really are a Numpty

[@mirekslechta7161]

U.K. only has 40 Chalanger tanks in working order, so whatever would be sent to Ukraine would last up to 2 days. Truth is hard to swalow for many British. USA would not manage to fight Russia inside Ukraine for much longer than 1 months, up to 2 months at best.

[@justy1189]

Well thats fantasy bullshit on so many levels. The US has over 8000 tanks and IFV in storage in the US alone. That doesn't include the ones with active duty units or the ones pre-postioned around the world. They are still building more. You need to stop drinking in the Putin Propaganda mate. Ukraine is fighting Russia to a costly stalemate with mainly outdated donations and nearly no airpower. The USA wouldn't need to fight for more 4 weeks to stomp Russia in a conventional war they have the worlds first and second largest airforces in just the Navy and Airforce and then you have the combined might of all the rest of NATO. Which is why the Russian needs the largest nuclear weopons stockpile in the world to hold that threat in check. That said if Russias mainly soviet era nukes work as well as there sam systems how many would be even able to launch. As for your laughable claim that Challanger tanks would only last 2 days a dozen have been there over a year now and the Russians have only managed to destroy 1 from which the crew escaped, How many Russian tanks more importantly crews have burned in that time even Putin has admitted Russia is losing at least 5000 KIA every month at the moment. At this point Chinese golf carts, Suicide moterbike assaults, and T55 sheds are regularly documented being lost on the front line.

Engines just started up from cold and no exhaust after treatment system. Once warmed a little they are fine. All bigger diesels do this on start up. Trucks do not now as they particle filters in the exhaust catching the soot. Says a guy who has worked on Diesels large ones for over forty years!

Are these engines designed to create smoke like this? If so, its a pretty cool way of an additional smoke screen

A good old reliable 50 years old Russian diesel locomotive of the German railways brings British tanks to the American training area of Hohenfels , Oberpfalz, Bavaria. A bit confusing for an old German. Btw I was there - twice all in all for 8 weeks - as a soldier of the 1st German Mountain Division in 1972 / 73.

Actually its not. it was a Soviet design but built in Ukraine. at Luhansk

What we got here. Another fresh account with a random name that parrots ruzzian propaganda. ruzzbots dont even care anymore these days because they know its a lost cause for them.

[@MrLordingit]

Trolls seem to have accounts created in the past two years.

[@bazz303]

@@MrLordingit Yes, those accounts created shortly after the invasion and the couple of days old accounts are the most obvious ones. But putlers troll war started many years ago and some pretty old accounts that acted kinda normally, switched to propaganda mode. On 9gag it was a pest, but many, if not most of them, got deleted or they switched to inactive since they are burnt. It was a real flood. The internet can witness a rise of chinese trolls in some places. No flood yet tho. And then there are the manipulated users that think you cant trust the "media", so they prefer to believe some random propaganda and parrot that stuff. Dont ask me whats behind that logic. Also qanon, magas and other rightwingers are prone to that, because they only want to believe what they want to hear and thats a BINGO! for ruzzian propagandists. I personally know someone who said "you cant believe the news, its all manipulated." and in the same blink she showed me the "proof" on russia today. Its so absurd, because she is a VERY intelligent person.
