Normally, you can hear the "cranketys", but I was too late and put my camera "On" just when he started. But you're right, he start very easily (German technology). Sorry for my English I used Google translator :)
given its a 35 litre V10, I was expecting to hear the starter crank her over for a few cycles before the engine caught and fired in, a sort of "crankety crankety VROOOM!" I was surprised by how easily she started!!

@harentrois
thaught it started too easy.
however it does have a nice exhaust note to it. I take it she's electric start and not air start

@Xantec Yes, it is an electrical starter, the Russian tanks use both starter, electrical and as backup an air starter.
