Hello guys, I’ve been watching you bring the T-72 back to life and I have witnessed the crap you have had to go through to get to where you are now, but I have to say what a lovely machine she is now it’s sorted, she sounds stunning and looks like it drives really well, great job guys and well done. 👍
I spent some time in and around a T-72 here in the UK (the dark green and then tan coloured one at the War & Peace show years back). It will always be my favourite. It's just so stupidly violent, noisy, dirty, and my god the way the fan blasted a 30ft tall tornado of dust behind it. Say what you will, but they have so much personality and so much presence about them. Absolutely excellent. Well done on getting it fixed!
I've always liked the look of the T-72/80/90 series of tanks. Glad you got yours up and running! You guys are magicians when it comes to getting these old warhorses working again. I hope we get to see more of the T-72 in future videos. Well done fellas!

Ha, my mate had a race-prep Suzuki GT380 two-stroke triple which would drop in to smoke mode if you rode it too gently. You had to cane it for about 3 miles to clear its throat (and everyone elses).
Another ‘ripper video from you guys. Never seen ‘smoke mode’ in action. I guess it would let the opposition know where to lob the next shells. Many thanks for sharing, Greetings from Tasmania Australia 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
T-72 defence mechanism is much like the defence mechanism of the crew when they see a Bear charging at them , basically it soils itself and disappears in a cloud of toxic fumes . Which is the same defence mechanism I would have if I saw a T-72 charging down on me . Great work the T-72 looks and sounds good , thank you for another great video .
Bet you are glad you didnt start it in the shed. I am smiling while imagining the look on an innocent coming up the drive to meet that approaching them. That smoke was IMPRESSIVE, also does a great job of taking the top turf off the grass :-) magic post, thanks.
Good on you lads. I know it's been a total ball ache but, it sounds good and looks great 👍. If you ain't going to keep it, you could always sell it to a farmer for ploughing! 😄.

What a beast of a thing. Hope the knuckles recover as quick as the environment does. The smoke cleared the hedges of all those pesky animals and insects we all dont like. Bravo.
i'm glad you mentioned the SMOKE mode, i remember someone telling me this years back, that diesel could be injected into the engine to produce a smoke screen to enable the 'run away mode' and was going to ask how you did this, but you answered it something i always wondered about Master Milos T69, if it was doing the same thing, it is smoky, but perhaps not as bad as this old beast great to see the old girl running, and pretty well, worth all the effort guys one thing i hate about working on military stuff, having to work on your knees and know where to kneel with jagged lumps of steel poking you in places that are not conducive to most peoples enjoyment
Gotta correct: it isn't intended as a "run away mode". In soviet union, smoke wasn't considered as a tank's personal defense method, but as a unit's tactical measure. For example, tanks and apcs crossing an open area, tanks are moving at the front and creating a smoke screen behind them covering weaker apcs. Smoke grenade launchers were also set up the way that smoke grenades would fly more than 100m forward before detonating, creating a smoked area in front of advancing troops. Of course these ww3 tactics don't work today, but the idea was as I described
@@ВячеславФролов-д7я roger golf tango, of course that as well - the idea being to set a smoke screen, remove yourself from probable danger, retreat whatever, and set up else where, what i really meant, but yes totally agree, the tactics wouldn't work as well today, what with high tech imagery and advanced heat seeking, but then signatures on vehicles are changing all the time
