Hi all
Random question.
Watching Goldeneye. In it Bond takes a Russian tank. It is a T54/55 they dressed up to look like a T72.
How long and how would it take to start?
It's remarkably fast, as long as you have a long downhill slope and about fifty grenadiers to push for the first three hundred metres.
It should have an electric starter with a compressed air starter as plan b.
It's a film, so it will take exactly as long to start as the plot needs it to.

Well, I know that! I was just thinking real life! I love a 007, but I know they don't always hew close to reality...
Takes about 1 minute 5 seconds according to this clip......
But Bond probably just has to tip down the sun visor, catch the keys and turn on the ignition ;)
