The channel is restoring an old Iraqi Type 69-II tank, and its big 38.8-liter V12 diesel engine recently fired up for the first time in 28 years. The video above captures the action, and lest you think this is a corner-cutting project, think again. The clip opens with footage of the tank as it was found in the UK, where it went after being captured from Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. To say it looked bit rough is an understatement, and realistically, the engine should’ve been scrapped. The video chronicles extensive corrosion in the powerplant, but the point here is to restore the mill, not throw it away.
Very neat video....on the link.
