Challenger 2 is an advanced main battle tank built by BAE Systems Land Systems (formerly Vickers Defence Systems, then Alvis Vickers Ltd). The tank is in ser
“Sending Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine is the start of a gear change in the U.K.’s hoping to make good some of the thousands of vehicles and hundreds of aircraft the Russians have lost in
Western-made main battle tanks like the Abrams, Challenger 2s or the Leopard tanks – which have been donated by the U.S., Germany, U.K. and other international allies – are far more likely to
This tank uses a 1,500-horsepower diesel engine. This figure is identical to M1 Abrams. However, the Chinese 3rd-gen MBT is substantially lighter, weighing just 55 tons vs. 70 tons. Naturally, the
Thought the UK primarily had MLC 70 bridges so this is surprising. Neither 74 short tons nor 74 long tons equates to 62.5 metric tons. The long ton, the imperial unit, is slightly more than 1000kg. The bog standard Challenger 2 is 62.5 metric tonnes, this behemoth is 74 metric tonnes.

Challenger 2 is known as the safest MBT line in the world and has never been destroyed by enemy fire on the battlefield. The world is witnessing a powerful rise of new generation modern tanks, the US and Russia are still the leading countries in this field. With the massive development of current technology, the main battle tanks are becoming
UK handed Kyiv armoured vehicles earlier this year. The Ukrainian army has released the first footage of British Challenger 2 tanks operating in the country. Footage released by Ukraine’s 11th
I'm really starting to regret selling my Challenger 2 eh, why are you selling tanks, particularly good/fun tanks that you enjoy? Just keep them all, it gives you a small XP bonus as well. Anyway, yes the Chally ATDU does feel a bit more sluggish, but the gun makes up for it. I find the 140mm really fun, far better than the 120mm.
The posting of the documents was reported first by UK Defence Journal, which wrote that one poster, who uploaded the manual to a British Challenger 2 tank, said he was motivated by a desire to get
They entered a different world. A Challenger 2 main battle tank is a sound-proof metal box. Inside, despite the pandemonium in the hide, which now included a burning fuel-tanker, the crew were surrounded by a surreal silence. There was silence, too, when Brown radioed the other tanks of his squadron. No-one answered.
1. Tank battles are still rare. Tanks mostly used as assault armor or even artillery because of lack of such. Not much of a competition but stranger things have happened. T-62's gun can still penetrate either a Challenger 2 or a Leo 2 depending on where it hits. But then most tank guns can penetrate any modern tank in the rear, even a WW2 era
The Challenger 2 TES and Challenger 2f have the same side skirt protection, despite the TES being heavier and the armour being twice as thick. this makes it currently, pointless to use the TES when compared to the 2f. the 2f is lighter, slightly (barely) faster, and offers you the exact same protection with its composite skirts while the TES
