Fun fact, this was tried on a very small scale in 1958 by a Soviet physicist. It glows an eerily beautiful green due to what we now know as Cherenkov urination.

My guess is it's fracking mud blow-off, that's saturated with natural gas so they flare it when they dump the mud?

Friend of mine who's an oil and gas field worker says that's not it, any gas that's dissolved in the mud is separated out as it's moved through the system.

Looks like it's burning crude. He says he's never heard of them doing that, but also that that doesn't mean it doesn't happen in some situation.

Sure looks like one of these, doesn't it?

And that rotating ammo carousel is why T-64/72/80 series tanks explode in such catastrophic fashion if anything penetrates the armor. The crew is basically sitting right on top of all the ammo and when it goes up, the turret turns into a jack-in-the-box/lollipop.




Western tanks, both with and without autoloaders, store the ready ammunition in the back of the turret in compartments with blow-out hatches and blast shields that only open during loading, giving the crew a greater chance to survive if the vehicle is hit.

It's absolutely amazing the Soviets didn't realize the deathtrap they were creating, and the fact it was used for 20+ years worth of tanks. I think even the T-90s don't have a much better system.

I showed the fire nozzel to a friend of mine who works in the Alberta oil patch and he mentioned how when he was first starting out capping wells, one of the more senior members stripped naked and dove into the pool of concrete. This is a trained engineer, and he didn't realize that the heavy duty concrete had chemicals that are caustic. He thought he could dive in, get a picture taken of him in the pool, then run over to the shower truck they had in the field without suffering any effects. He got chemical burns on his wiener.

The T-90 still has the same ammo stowage, since it is just a upgraded T-72 renamed after Desert Storm, the newer welded turret T-90MS has some ammo stowage in the bustle rack but it's basically just exterior boxes for a handful of extra rounds.

Ukraine developed the T-84 Oplot which has a western-style turret and autoloader but has only been produced in a handful of units for Thailand and Ukraine and allegedly the autoloader still has technical problems. Allegedly this same (or a similar) autoloader system has been mounted in a western-style turret and 120mm gun for a upgrade to the Polish PT-91 (itself a upgraded T-72), but there's only prototypes of the variant and no concrete info on what's actually the tank.

I've said this elsewhere but I feel kinda bad for the Chinese tank designers, they spent decades catching up to Soviet tank designs only for Desert Storm to happen and show that everything they'd been working on was poo poo.
