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.
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!
Yes I like the way you are talking about. It means that you're together to defend and protect us in any situation. Thank you all of you. God bless you all.
@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 served in BAOR for 6 years, first in Munster Larger, then in Hohne driving and working Chieftain tanks, doing exercises on Saltau training area. Loved it!😊😊
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.
@@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
@@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.

From the Lüneburg Heath to the Upper Palatinate. I had to get used to that 40 years ago. But I didn't smoke that much.🤓 Different altitude! Welcome here!🇬🇧
That was IMPRESSIVE! Great catch! Did you know they were arriving in Parsberg? Great catch. Always cool to see military trucks around JMRC Hohenfels. Been there to Swift Response 15 with more than 1,600 paratroops. Could have went to Regensburg City afterwards, they have the largest fire station in the state, now with more than 50 bays
Reminds me of those funny days in Lemgo. Also German, I enjoyed the time with you folks in the Irish Pub. Also great fun at the RAPA and the old DO 27 in Paderborn. Keep goin! 👍👍👍
In Germany in the 1970/80s the UK had 900 tanks with reserve Regts in UK, now they have 200 - looks like they are poorly maintained - tanks need to travel on a regular basis
@@ckeuer He's pretty right. I've visited Germany several times and countryside still feels German and is rich with culture. The cities are rapidly fading.
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.
The CV12 in that is very poorly!! The way it’s driving and the severe lack of power would suggest the turbo on the side it smoking the turbo had blown.
@@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.
I grew up very close to those BAOR training areas and was used to it. It is about 30-35 years ago. I was a soldier myself a little later and deployed to Bosnia and Kosovo.
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.
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?
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.
Crazy thing is I know that “small German town” that’s Grafenvier and I remember that Ukrainian Military also was shipping their tanks through here as well. There were here because of the foreign military units rotating through JMRC (Joint Multinational Readiness Center) a training area on the Hohenfels US Military base. Also I know exactly who was filming this they’re a white woman with brown hair and has a German shepherd and camped on that road with an rv.
@@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.
Parsberg Germany Railhead is the Closest to Hohenfels Germany a Manuever Area for Allied Tanks/Military. That Tank definately has a Blown Turbo. You can hear it has No Power, It should be Screaming at a High Pitch going uphill like the rest of them. The Tank Towing another is Customary. When in Garrison Parts to fix the Tank come from a Different Budget, Towing it to the Field is from a Larger Budget and easier to get Parts. All Allied Forces do it.
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
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.
They're burning diesel through the side vent. It's an option the Challys have to cover their movements. It must be a malfunction. A mechanic will sort that out no problem
@@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 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 .
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.
In the 1970s the British tank was the Chiefton it was a disgrace, every year in Germany the NATO countries in Germany deployed US, UK Dutch etc all used to have joint annual exercises. You could with "ease" find the British Army HQ .... follow the broken down tanks the Gun was so poor they had to withdraw from the annual NATO live firing competitions
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.
Hello Cobras. How often they will show us the same couple of old worn out tanks, every time some of them could not even drive by semselves!? Ridiculous. But great sound, i love this cars, on the other hand.
Not Really. Most likely a mechanical fault within the unit that holds the smoke dispensary hence why the tank was going slower and he smoke coming from the actual exhaust was a lot darker than usual
Great image from the Island Monkies on their way back to the EU after BREXIT! Seriously, what were you thinking leading with that C/S. The Greens will be up in Arms at our disregard for Umweltschutz!
@@peterfeeney721Britain's participation in any military exercises in Europe has nothing whatsoever to do with the EU, it is purely a NATO thing. If we wanted decisions bogged down for months in committee and someone to pass along all troop movements to an enemy, the EU would be the best place to run things through as some of it's leaders have become highly susceptible to foreign interference of late. That's is why we have NATO and JEFF to bypass the bureaucratic descision making nightmare that is the EU.

Rare film of a specially modified Brit challenger mbt undergoing trials of VW euro 9 engine, 2025 VW Golf used the same engine. Somewhere in Germany circa 2024 (60fps, remastered)
Ahh, the entire tank core of the British Army, they had to get 10 of them back out of hock for these games. Looks like one fell off the train on the way. Why the smoke screen? Cars & vans with big flashing lights all over the shop & everyone on TH-cam taking video's.

@dc-4ever201 If ww3 breaks out you'd better get right with God stop ✋️ putting your trust in steel.
Even Chieftain didn’t make that much smoke 😅
Did not know that the Challenger has permanent smoke screen. 😊
50 shades of grey right there in that smoke cloud 😮😂
03:35 Bicycle Reconnaissance moving up on the right.
Looks like not only does one have a fault with their smoke generator but another is being towed.
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.
In the 1970s the British tank was the Chiefton it was a disgrace, every year in Germany the NATO countries in Germany deployed US, UK Dutch etc all used to have joint annual exercises. You could with "ease" find the British Army HQ .... follow the broken down tanks the Gun was so poor they had to withdraw from the annual NATO live firing competitions
Dear god minute 5.13 British engineering? Do they send them to Russia
Alter was ist mit dem Panzer ab 12_16 los, raucht da der Motor ab oder was?^^ Da fallen ja die Vögel tod von den Bäumen XD
Why are tanks marching westwards ? Away from any peril ?
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.
If this was a blown turbo you wouldnt drive it surly you would pull it like the other one? Very strange
Its whats known in army circles as fucked
Well the most worrying thing was there were 11 tanks on the train!? Plus the CRARRV? 😬
I don't know about you but it's pretty standard where I'm from to have an ARV in convoy
That has to be them mucking about with a smoke generator!
Bollocks!
Wonder if they got fined for the enviromental impact.
That’s a smoke screen! Those tanks are in the bests of health 🇬🇧🏴👊
Ummm.... Pollution!?
In my time it was eventually off to Dülmen to get spares for the WKSPS.😢
One question why are they doing the smoke on a public road.i bet the German old bill went to happy with that.
It's not smoke in the sense of as the Germans would call it Nebel or einnebeln. Defect.
spätestens wenn das Öl alle ist, hört der auf zu rauchen.
I noticed that the locomotive hauling the train in is an ex-DDR diesel-electric that was built in what is now Russia. Oh, the irony!
Well that's not environmentally friendly 😷
War is not environmental friendly…
War never is .!
What the hell are British tanks doing in Germany? I thought the occupation was over. Or was it?
Hello Cobras. How often they will show us the same couple of old worn out tanks, every time some of them could not even drive by semselves!? Ridiculous. But great sound, i love this cars, on the other hand.
There were no tanks there. What are you talking about ?
Extraordinary footage. One can only ask, why the smoke? Its the sort of thing that could get the British army in the media for all the wrong reasons.
Not Really. Most likely a mechanical fault within the unit that holds the smoke dispensary hence why the tank was going slower and he smoke coming from the actual exhaust was a lot darker than usual
Isn't obvious that the tank has engine problems? Probably blown diesel injectors.
Das sind bestimmt Nebelkerzen zur Tarnung der Kolonne.🤓 Oder zur Bekämpfung der bösen Borkenkäfer bei uns in der Oberpfalz.☺️
Great image from the Island Monkies on their way back to the EU after BREXIT!
Seriously, what were you thinking leading with that C/S. The Greens will be up in Arms at our disregard for Umweltschutz!
@@peterfeeney721Britain's participation in any military exercises in Europe has nothing whatsoever to do with the EU, it is purely a NATO thing. If we wanted decisions bogged down for months in committee and someone to pass along all troop movements to an enemy, the EU would be the best place to run things through as some of it's leaders have become highly susceptible to foreign interference of late. That's is why we have NATO and JEFF to bypass the bureaucratic descision making nightmare that is the EU.
Zoiksss
VW is envious about 🤦
This is Dieselgate, running on cole
Pierwszy raz widzę takie maskowanie. To chyba wyłącznie brytyjski pomysł. Oni maja poczucie humoru. Jak dojdą na front to wszystko za nimi będzie już martwe.
Die Ungezieferplage ist vorbei,falls es eine gab.😄
¿Que?
You think they’d tie it like the other one that’s ridiculous
All V12 no turbo
Rare film of a specially modified Brit challenger mbt undergoing trials of VW euro 9 engine, 2025 VW Golf used the same engine.
Somewhere in Germany circa 2024 (60fps, remastered)
Great vid. My son works at Coleman barracks, mannhiem on the M1 Abrams tanks.
Ahh, the entire tank core of the British Army, they had to get 10 of them back out of hock for these games. Looks like one fell off the train on the way. Why the smoke screen? Cars & vans with big flashing lights all over the shop & everyone on TH-cam taking video's.
Female,commander, what this button for?
Bloody hell, that's the whole British army!!
Is that the best the RAC can do? Two faulty MBT's on the way to an exercise... very poor show all round.
Green peace has left the chat
THAT TANK FAILED THE EMMISIONS TEST........UGH........
Ms Thunberg's head just fell off.
