But lazer is right, what you're talking about here is the early stages of the abrams turbine engine and everyone knew that from the start so they had plans for the later installment of an auxiliary power unit (APU), same shit with the noise, the tanks was louder indeed but not by much, and this changed aswell over time. The problem is the crews stuck with the joke and people still think it consumes loads of fuel. That engine can take several types of fuel without much trouble and is very reliable, also in terms of hp output its much better (I'm not american nor an americaboo, its just that lazer is right)

One day, they had a conversation that lead them to talk about propaganda. The american spy said: - Seriously, I really love your soviet propaganda. Not gonna lie, but you know how to reach the masses. So, the soviet spy replied: - True, our propaganda bureau only allow the best to work there. BTW, I also love your american propaganda.

That's not what he said. He said he believed that RedEffect wasn't objective enough with Soviet sources but was highly critical of Western ones. Soviet sources are known for being a little, erm, how should we say this, _fanciful_ at times when compared to Western ones. Partly due to a general lack of transparency and a culture which, depending on who was in charge, may have penalised negative reporting. And it should come as a surprise to no one that publicly available modern Russian sources are highly dubious. Nobody's perfect, RE is generally reliable, and you should always do your own research and come to your own conclusions if you really want to know "the truth". LazerPig and RedEffect present themselves as educators, and they are in a way, but really they're essayists giving their personal, (mostly) fact-based opinions on things.

[@georgekordalis5465]

Turbo charger works with air that comes from moving (its round with a fan in the middle that spins from the air and creates power). A super charger takes power from the engine not the air. I think thats the difference ( its the same.about cars). If you want more information i suggest you wacht a video😅

[@RedEffectChannel]

Once in the tank that really no longer matters though. Once mounted to the tank the mass of the tank and engine becomes one.

The most frustrating part of this whole situation is the fact that even in Laser pigs second response he is still talking down to Red like he is a pro Russian propagandist who is trying to cover up all the flaws with Russian equipment and claim they are the best. Anyone who watches any of red's videos about modern Russian tanks will know that every single one has a pathetically slow reverse speed compared to almost all western tanks, and that this is a major weakness because the tank has to turn around when fleeing artillery or other danger and expose the weakest point of its armor EVERY TIME. He even showed a video of a t90 m trying to reverse to escape an artillery barrage, go about walking speed, then give up and turn around to flee. He's also showed some of the first footage of the interior of a new production t90 m that confirmed that even the most capable tank they field has one reverse gear, meaning Russia has no tank models in service right now that don't have that weakness. I didn't know any of that, but i got 100% of that information FROM REDEFFECT. If he's a propagandist then he's absolutely terrible because he put out the most easy to understand information proving that a tank has a massive weakness, how severe that weakness is, and even showed footage of that weakness in action. HOW IS IT PROPAGANDA IF YOU'RE POINTING OUT DANGEROUSLY SIMPLE FLAWS TO EXPLOIT ABOUT YOUR OWN TANKS??? Lazeroig is acting like Red is defending the honor of the T14 and all Russian tanks with bad information and faulty Logic, but it was bad information and faulty logic that got Red to make the response video in the first place. Red didn't respond to the T14 video because he has a vested interest in how the tank is viewed by the public, he did the response video because the information and logic Lazerpig used was mostly pretty flawed. There are enough problems to laugh at the T14 for already. I've watched both channels for years, but Lazerpig is completely out of line here. He's fallen back on belittling red's intellectual integrity and created a strawman of red being a blindly pro Russia shill because he doesn't know how to take the loss and admit some parts were a mistake. He constantly claimed red overlooked or didn't understand things that, if he actually watched his other videos, you would know that he absolutely did understand. It's extremely disappointing to find out this this is how Lazerpig handles mistakes, he takes the massive influence of his pro Ukrainian audience and tries to sic it on someone by accusing him of being a propagandist. Fortunately red and Lazerpig should have considerable audience overlay (both being largely military vehicle channels) and anyone who watches both will immediately see that Lazerpig is out of his depth here and know that red is critical of any tank he finds issues with, so not blindly pro anything. I don't get the feeling that much of Lazerpigs audience is going to keep backing him on this, and with 2 response videos on either side I feel like a lot of people will be curious enough to see what red is about too, so maybe the silver lining in all this is Red getting a bunch of tank enthusiasts coming to his channel, sort of a consolation prize he gets even if Lazerpig refuses to leave it be. Hopefully this can be the end because at this point Lazerpig is just trying to save face and he's starting to go from being a Pig 🐖 to just looking like an Ass🫏

Appeal to popularity. Russia bashing is extremely popular in the English speaking world, so guess what he does. This plays into the confirmation biases of people who have been heavily conditioned by their own media, and press to believe anything bad to hear about Russia since their births. 3. Motte And Bailey Argument. Makes a big argument with his surface semantics the Motte, but then retreat and pretender his argument was much smaller and more reasonable when attacked, the Bailey. Basically, he likes to talk a big aggressive game when he’s on the attack and then act like he’s actually very reasonable when confronted, and why are you attacking him? He’s not saying anything all that controversial or unreasonable! 4. Pepe The Frog Fallacy. This ties into number three and it’s based on an Alt Right debate tactic (figures a Nazi lover would do this) where, when losing claim he is not really a series debater but just a Memer or a hobbyist or a comedian, and therefore it’s not fair to attack him it’s all just a joke.

We are all fully aware that the Armata was just a product of the Russian oligarchy, but to completely say that it's a "hot pile of wank" is a bit of a stretch. LazerPig is a comedian shitposter supported and worshipped mostly by a bunch of other political and military shitposters like him for example people from the subreddit NCD and so on, and he's not a professional analyst who owns books and speaks to veteran people, so he should stick to that and not start drama with KZbinr's who's content is vastly different and more serious rather than the type he mostly produces. The people who support and worship him also think that for some goddamn reason, meme and phonk edits are equivalent to the reality of war and military procurement, which by the way, they aren't. For example, they believe that my country, in reality raked with internal problems and an inefficient right-winger government ran mostly by anti-abortion grandpa daddies, is a superpower. I'm not making that shit up. Dozens of misleading news media articles and tabloids as well as further fuel added to the fire by Poland's chief propaganda mouthpiece state news media channel of constant foul-up's and blunders that they're unable to prevent before they happen does not help the situation. They only ever slightly need to see a small military parade and overly-ambitious military acquisitions to be ecstatic about their made-up fanfiction. In reality, the purchases that Poland's government made for it's military were chosen only by politicians, choosing stuff mostly for it's looks and what they think it should do, and the military meanwhile did not even have a say in any of those purchases, all of which were off the shelf. There was no prolonged negotiation, no planning, and no prior thought put into it before buying. The Right-wingers made those purchases without taking systems of support and exploitation into account. That means a lack of spare parts, maintenance facilities, storage hangars, and overall support and servicing (logically and logistically). Which translates to that if any of those tanks, aircraft and artillery breaks down, have malfunctions or faults, then all of those fancy newly-bought vehicles will just sit and rot away in rusted post-Soviet warehouses. All of what the Ministry of National Defense had spent it's money on away into shit without any prior consideration and preliminary planning was not even tested. But that's not even the problem, because the core problem lies within the base armed forces, already neglected by the ideologically-directed governments in the past from the 1990's to today. Soldiers in the professional and the recent voluntary compulsory militaries are mostly being given out obsolete equipment and uniforms from the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's instead of a soldier walking into a supply store and being issued brand newest up-to-date boots and uniforms. Instead you get poor-quality boots which in a short time period wear themselves out to the point of no longer being usable, older webbing kits and backpacks from the 1970's and 1980's a. la Polish People's Army-style well-renown for being tight and uncomfortable, obsolescent quilt jackets that hold in water instead of repelling it, and they don't even issue you brand-new sleeping bags, foldable camping tents, combat knives/bayonets, flashlights, lighters or compasses, because guess what? The military, the government, the Ministry of National Defense and technically the entire military department forces you to buy that stuff all by yourself instead of already issuing it to you, from just pennies-worth of pocket money called "uniform allowance" which wouldn't even be enough to buy all of that stuff instead of properly ensuring the soldier, or like, you know, any real fucking actual human Western-aligned military elsewhere in the entire world, issuing it to the soldier right away once he steps in and arrives to his mechanized infantry unit's headquarters.

Oh, and talking about mechanized infantry, most of which are still driving around and breaking their backs in this depression and suicide-encouraging of a pathetic excuse for a military force with over 1,000 obsolete 1960's-Era coffin BMP-1 IFV's, around 100 of which were already given away to Ukraine, but the problems don't stop there. You would figure that our new modern Patria IFV's would replace all BMP-1's currently used in the Polish Land Forces, but not at all. In fact, most of these are only on disposition for only a few mechanized infantry brigades, and for brand new soldiers and recruits who expect to buy this Right-wing propaganda facade of being issued a brand new MSBS Grot assault rifle, being kitted out like some high-tech operators that you see in most of those propaganda NATO-Warwave videos once they arrive to their respective unit, they will be in for quite a dissapointment. More on the Patria's though. Poland as a result of introducing extreme budget cuts and continuing to downsize it's military after 1990 under Lech Wałęsa was destined to eventually become mostly a peacekeeping-size and overseas mission-going only military force, buying only some modern and licensed equipment in limited quantities just for the purpose of maintaining this self-image of a "strong and powerful military capable of defending the entire country and fully staying up to it's commitments to NATO" just to send off troops on useless missions and such, and this happened for over a decade. Things got only even worse when the rebranded Communists under the Social Democratic "Democratic Left Alliance" party under Aleksander Kwaśniewski took over in 1995, "legally" ousting Lech Wałęsa's inefficient and even chaotic governments through presidential election, where essentially, the Round Table Agreements of 1989 came back to bite Wałęsa in the ass, who was mostly focused on his self-image of an everyday man instead of practical responsibilities and role of a president. Solidarity, instead of removing Communism completely from power like in most countries and lustrating (purging) Communism from all aspects of Polish life like Jan Olszewski's cabinet wanted to (mind you a very influential individual in Polish politics, he knew the real corrupt shit that was going on and tried his best to fix it, but his cabinet was ultimately removed from power by Wałęsa through a non-Democratic vote of no confidence due to lack of unified support for his goverment), rather decided to make peace with said Communists and allow them to return to power under a new brand after 1989 and then seize total power in 1995. The SLD party was very corrupt, and especially wanted to take away all funding (military and non-military) for anything it saw as unnecessary and instead funnel it all off towards public spending on useless shit like more trash bins and bus stops. Take the Gawron-class corvette program for example, where just a year after construction for 7 corvettes was approved, the Ministry of National Defense under orders from the corrupt SLD government decided to immediately reduce, defund and then cancel the program altogether and limit construction to just 1 vessel, a single unfinished hull which just sat and rotted in drydock for 14 years and it's costs to fully complete and equip it ballooned due to the lack of funding as the country saw the SLD lose favor out of power after a corruption scandal and the change through 3 subsequent governments: Right-wing in 2005, Liberal in 2010 (or 2007 when Donald Tusk became Prime Minister) and then finally Right-wing again in 2015 who finally, without any knowledge of what clusterfuck went on prior had the audacity to launch and complete this single hull as Poland's ONLY modern pathetic warship. Since 2005 under the Right-wingers, the Polish military wasn't any better either. Besides some minor acquisitions like the Peace Sky Program in 2006 where the politicians bought around only 48 F-16's and around some 200 AIM-120C AAMRAM missiles without further consideration of further increasing the number of jets, missiles and logistical equipment (the numbers haven't pretty much changed since then), the Polish Armed Forces still mostly remained this perpetual self-fueling cycle of a peacekeeper mission-going, mandatory conscription, depression, suicide, dedovschina, logistical and logical clusterfuck-ridden shithole ideologically-directed and unnoticeably badly influenced by party government leadership without any significant military, procurement, systematic replacement/mass-production of new hardware and so on. After 2007 and the Smolensk air crash in 2010 where majority of the Right-wingers' most influential government and it's officials ended up dying as a result of the incompetence and sheer training and VIP aviation errors intensified within the entirety of the Polish military in the past few years, and the subsequent vastly neo-Liberal sweeping of the plane crash under the rug and the then politics of reset with Russia that followed, the Polish Armed Forces took an even bigger hit. Much like most of Poland's ideologically-directed party governments throughout the years, the Liberals also had their own opinion about the military, but just as bad is what they wanted to turn Poland into, the effects of which are still affecting us all to this very day, regardless of anybody's political alignment, opinion or which party they preferrably support today. Immediately after they took power, Donald Tusk swore to make Poland into his own Liberal paradise subject only to the EU's commands from Brussels, he started that in 2010 he boasted that he would reduce and cut all taxes and make life for the middle class and poor much easier, but instead he and his goverrnment changed his views, instantly raised them to the max, introduced a shit-ton of tarrifs, excise and taxes on goods such as diesel oil, alcohol, tobacco, coal, sugar and so on, and eliminated many tax exemptions, a strategy now adopted in recent times by Mateusz Morawiecki, but that's not even more. As a result of the Civic Platform's rise to power, the nepotism and cronyism only grew even more, thus preventing the average Polish citizen middle class, who were mostly already pecking away at little seeds like chickens at this point to even try to live off of something, from even obtaining higher paying jobs, and this was not even further helped by the fact that Donald Tusk and his goverments refused to even raise the monthly lowest average minimum wage per capita or introduce any sort of social welfare programs to help, instead being like "Nah, fuck it. You're having problems? You're on your own, buddy. We won't give a fuck if the riot police SWAT-raids your house one day because you couldn't pay off the family's debt, problems with which were exaggerated further by us and you land in a mental asylum because of us after all we did." In short: the Liberal goverments of Donald Tusk, in a sterotypically corporate move which is much more prevalent nowadays than it was back then, initially promised paradise, only to move away from it and make life in Poland total suffering during his tenure in power. But more on what they did to the military. In compliance with the Civic Platform's brand-new politics of reset, the Ministry of National Defense, as ordered by Donald Tusk's governments, began dissolving and liquidating several mechanized infantry and tank divisions on the country's Eastern flank, abolishing dozens of military units, offices and postings across the country, which downsized the military even further, and then sent away the leftover equipment from those liquidated military units deemed as "unnecessary" to rot in post Soviet-Era warehouses, including the still relatively-modern Leopard 2 tanks which by the way were received for free from Germany through a peace dividend. This shitshow went on for about quite a while for 5 years until the Right-wingers took power again, when in Late 2014 Donald Tusk left his post of Prime Minister of Poland to instead become President of the European Council in December of 2014, and that was the lucky break for the Right-wingers, now or never to reverse all the damage that he has caused, or so i that's what i initially thought as a kid what the Right-wingers were there for. Boy, i couldn't have been far more wrong. With the perverted National Conservative Right-wing and it's perverted values came it's own problems, from wanting to ban abortion, turn Poland into a Traditionalist Catholic Fascist state similar to Orban's Hungary (as they both were and still are very close autocratic-in common allies), crack down on LGBT rights, drastically ramp up taxes, vastly increase deficit and government spending on rewards for politicians, ruling Right-wing aligned organizations, funding the state news media channel and so on (all of these things combined would end up with Poland spiralling into economic inflation problems before COVID-19 and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine), and so much more problems that i would rather not list here because my comment is already THAT long. I'm very sorry about my mostly gone-political rambling here, but i couldn't help it and decided to give some wisdom on what has actually happened with Poland in the last few decades, and because i need to make this right. Main point is: Due to all of those factors that i had mentioned, any attempt at Polish military mobilization under the current governments to meet Russian aggression in the future will be disasterous. So much for this facade and self-image rather than an actual practical military.

This reply will almost certainly get lost in the sea of replies, but as someone who is a bit of a Laser Pig fan I thought it be worth to chime in. LP is the one at fault in this drama for starting it, revitalizing it when was fading into his obscurity, not having any sources but lying about it in an academic discussion, plus his overall immaturity regarding the drama. While I cannot say most other LP fans are as critical towards LP's stance as I, don't get into slap fights with them. RedEffect's passivity, plus the Chieftain's clarity won me, an LP fan over. Getting in online fights will just sink you to LP's level.

What’s so ironic about nato propaganda and troglodytes like LP is that pretty much both sides in this conflict are using the same tanks most of the time and once nato tanks showed up nothing changes and loss rates are the same in Ukraine for nato vehicles and Russian vehicles. Neither is better or worse.
