There's a YouTube armor-historian pissing match going on about tank-engines.
Specifically, did the T-14 Armata use the engine out of a WW2 era German tank?
The 12N360 in the Armata is an X-engine configuration too.
The supposition LazerPig makes is that the 12N360 12-cylinder is a modified A-83-3A engine which was developed from captured 16-cylinder SLA-16 engines.
I think there's a case to be made.
He's also on record saying that the V-12 engine the Russians have been using in their tanks is a derivation of the original V-2-34 from the T-34. He's on firm ground here.
Nicholas "The Chieftan" Moran has snarked asking if the Continental AV-1790-5B from the M-47 is the same as the AVDS-1790-9AR in the Merkava III?
Well, Nick, yes; and no, not really.
Just as the small block from a 1955 Chevy is the same as the small-block in a 2002 Express.
The newer engines are evolved from the originals even if very few parts exchange.
Just like the V-2-34 and V-92SF.
