but a mechanical cooling fan will likely be functional at idle, whereas this injection cooling just won't have enough airflow at idle

It was good practice to cool a hot engine while stationary by increasing the crankshaft rotations. So that the cooler fan spins faster. Or so that the ejector draws in more cold air. In that sense, that's not an argument.

@edit

Do not forget. The cooling water pump also conveys more volume through the cooler when the crankshaft speed increases.

Yes, deep and erudite author who consulted a lot with us. This causes terrible pain for supporters of inferior copies of the T-64 such as the T-72 and T-80.

The wonderful truthful book that this author will publish, including one based on archival data, will open the eyes of the English-speaking audience to the T-64 and the miserable crafts of incompetent thieves of competing design bureaus that destroyed the tank building of the USSR - Tagil and Leningrad.
It's a pity I don't have time to translate the archival data myself in order to open the shameful lies published by the falsifiers of Russian design bureaus and transferred to English-language sources.

Sounds like an interesting book, I'll keep an eye out for publication.

If somebody  support your personal opinion or trying to repeat your so called articles, most of which you always edit "a bit" towards showing "T-64 perfection"(which most of times you fail to do because rarely understand what you writing about) it doesn't mean that it's actually a good one.

It is difficult to answer a person who cannot formulate his thoughts and has not written anything longer than a sentence in his life.

[Harkonnen]

It is obvious that the Russian T-72 and T-80 are degraded copies of the T-64. At the same time, their developers worsened all the characteristics because they did not understand what they were doing.
False myths were created and found their way into Western books. The fact that the T-64 was not reliable, at a time when it is more reliable than the T-72 and T-80 clones. About how expensive it is when it's cheaper than clones. And many others. The creators of these fakes did not expect that the archives revealing their lies would be declassified.
But the most important thing is that Russia does not have its own tank design school - only copying. As a result, the future of thieves is not Armata, but the T-62.

I find remarkable the influx of one-post troll accounts that get deleted immediately.

Only obvious part here is that you live on your own fantasies

Ah, so your theft of report's, photos, and other material's from others without showing sources is now a "your own writings" ? That's some real art historian you are

Please do not pay attention to the stupidity of the offended ignorant empty space that  wrote above.
He considers the study of the archives a theft. He is very jealous because he does not have anything exclusive and has to draw armor schemes according to my description.
Sources are cited in all my materials. Unfortunately, in Russia they are still under the cover of secrecy in order to hide the dirty intrigues of the Leningrad and Tagil clan.

Am I the only one who thinks that this tit for tat debating style is a needless distraction from this thread?

Let the power of the argument speak for itself and leave it to the reader to decide whom to believe.

The information is presented simply and intelligibly, confirmed by sources with test results and experience in combat use.
And what we have in response is the miserable unsubstantiated phrases of a person who has not written more than a sentence in his life and is famous only for posting materials obtained by other people from the British and Bundesarchiv on the net without understanding what is written in them.
Is this an argument below -

[Jim Warford]

Speaking of the T-64 (after my own tanks back in the day), still my favorite tank...it looks like Morozov was a member of Khrushchev's anti-gun, pro-missile mafia, which put an abrupt end to the SU-122-54. For that, he's still on my sh!t list. 🙂       

 

[Harkonnen]

He definitely was not missile supporter at all and resisted them at all costs. Only Tagil made missile tank IT-1, while Morozov considered it not a god idea, and he managed to abandon Object 431 missile tank as he knew it is a dead end – not main tank.
