Controversial History of T-14 Armata's Engine

Just like the T-14 Armata itself, the engine that powers the tank is very controversial, especially its history, which many people got very wrong. Today, we will take a deep dive at this engine and see what is it that got so many people confused about it, what is the actual history of this engine and what is its future?

I feel like people who argue that the T-14 engine is a copy of german WW2 engine are the same peaple saying AK47 is a copy of StG44.

can we just appreciate the butterfly effect of all this havoc being caused by a single line in click-bait shitpost on a random forum

More time has been spent on talking about the T-14's engine than the T-14 has spent time in trials and combat.

Saying that the T-14 Engine is a WWII one, is like saying that the F-35A is a modified copy of the F-105.
Or that Jeep Willys is just a green Model T.

As my grandmother always told me, "No matter what anyone tells you, the T-14 Armata engine is a literal copy of the Nahtzee Panther engine."

The technicality of your video is astonishing, thanks very much for that concrete and precise explanation.

"Ah s**t here we go again"

Said RedEffect in his thought, probably

Man is simple, he come from school tired, sad, he see red video now man is happy feel good, god bless red

Thanks to Red and the drama now people know more about the inside out of this unicorn tank than a toaster

the US also tried to develop an X-shaped engine for the T95 medium tank in the 1950s, but for some reason I haven't heard anyone try to claim that the development of that engine was based on a WW2 German engine, although it's not as well-known, since the engine was never completed and the tank never left the prototype stage. I can't wait for Lazerpig to learn about this and then claim that the T-14 Armata engine was based on the failed US engine instead.

If you knew anything about engines this "debate" was pure brainrot, thankfully now everyone knows without a doubt that it's not a copy of the sla16.

RedEffect's short videos is good but longer ones is piece of art man

[Jess-dgwo]

This topic maybe the tank version of the "the AK 47 was a copy of the STG 44" debate. Like I said I am really sad that so many people just blindly ingrain everything they hear as actual knowledge not even researching this.

[tovarishchmartins]

Did you make the animations for this video? This must have taken a lot of work, not only with the research and all. Out of a very silly internet argument, you are getting more and more skillful at youtube xD Well done!

This is like if someone looked at a Volvo truck from the 70ies, saw that it used a turbocharged I6 engine and then decided that the current generation of BMW M4 must've copied that random engine that has absolutely nothing to do with it, simply because it looks vaguely similar, being a turbocharged I6 engine.

LazerPig is probably at the edge of his seat right now.

[Edward-pwzz]

THANK YOU! thank you for the sources, thank you for the effort and THANK YOU for taking time on explaining how engines work, also, thank you for calling this a "X" engine and not a "radial" engine, a lot of people dont know the difference
awesome video!

[Gxaps]

In retrospect, comparing an a 85 to a sla 16 is absolutely absurd, and I feel stupid for trusting laser pig so blindly
