3 piece ammo.....ITS 3 PIECE AMMO !!!!!!!!!!!!! And every tank gun needs to be aligned....using the MRS...takes about 15 seconds.....and the rifling IMPROVES Accuracy....hence the worlds longest kill....and it has a stabillised sight....and the thermal sights located on the right HAS NO EFFECT on accuracy, its compensated for or every tank in the world wouldnt hit targets as day sights are offset on every tank....and no record of the 5.2 km kill, 4.7km is recognised.

7:19 - the tank comes with a kitchen ? Very Nice !

Well, Challenger 1 IS the Tomcat of tanks so... They're the Lamborghini Countach of their discipline; not the best, but by far the coolest, gnarliest looking things.

lol the fact that most of casualty in early gulf war desert storm is indeed friendly fire.

If you're in a fight with the Russians, their export customers, and the Americans... American air power is definitely your #1 concern with the Russian tanks coming in a distant 5th.

Browns have had a shit ton of friendly fire incidents 🤣😂

Sorry boys 😢

me when red rocket launchers

I bet that was cool. Thanks.

THE AMERICANS LOVE TO KEEP A REPUTATION GOING SO THEY JUST CONTINUED WITH IT IN THE DESERT - NO CHANGE THERE

First on our tank the Centurion, yes indeed we have facilities for making hot drinks and a hot meal _inside the tank_ They'd also make hot chocolate and the _unbelievably good_ mug of hot Bovril Best described as 'beef tea' we turn cows into a thick black tar and you put that and hot water in a mug and stir Adding a Madras powder to it makes curry beef tea. It's just the best.

The centurion and chieftain scored beautifully high marks for their respective times. The centurion was the standard right after World War Two.

What armaments industry?

@@jugganaut33 Believe it or not, the UK used to have one.

@@jugganaut33 The UK is the 6th largest exporter of military equipment in the world.

Challenger 3 on the way

@@charlesb1602: On paper. Maybe? The majority of Arms sales lately have Been Electro optical / thermal imaging /small arms and Typhoons. The 70+% of typhoon parts and royalties are owned by Airbus (European) and leonardo (Italian) Although the U.K. exports optical Sensors and Thermal sights. They are made from Lithuanian lenses Zweis ( German)Electronics. The U.K. doesn’t own the licenses for many Small arms, or the capacity to make it. Often relying on capacity from FN Belgium for manufacture of 7.62. Even CR2 HESH shells can no longer be manufactured in the U.K. etc. So realistically. NOTHING that the U.K. exports is truly British. Or has been for 20+ years. And 70%+ of all sales revenue is enjoyed by European partners or American partners that own the Patents for the components that go into U.K. branded weapons, sensors, vehicles, ammunition, etc. Getting all of the profit for none of the travel, networking, negotiation, exchanges etc involved in selling Multi million dollar licenses. The U.K. doesn’t have an armaments industry. And the U.K. government seems to be trying damned hard to make it impossible to rebuild one. Considering they had no problem selling the majority stake to Vickers Land systems. All of their tech, armour, patents, prototypes to Rheinmetal. FOR Free. Just to get Challenger 3 . Arguably the worst deal in history considering the design was already drawn up in 2006 by Vickers as the CR2E. The Combat Vehicle 90 program that was supposed to replace warrior back in 2000. Was sold to the Swedish and Germans. Only for the Chassis and License to be bought back at twice the price 20 years later as the AJAX. That is now unfit for service due to it being built by 10 different counties and shipped to the U.K. in Amazon boxes. None of which know how to build a AFV. So the thing rattles itself to pieces, twists is transmission off its housing. Throws its tracks every time it even looks at a rock and can’t cross half the bridges it should be able to or be easily air transportable because some dipshit decided to make it 48 TONS . Because they planned to scrap Main battle tanks all together to save costs. The U.K. armaments industry doesn’t know it’s an arms industry. It’s just a collection of multinational dipshits that have removed any capability of building a Native airframe, Armoured vehicle, missile, sighting system and rifle inside the U.K. You will struggle to name a single piece of British equipment beyond a radio, reactor torpedo and sniper rifle that can be built entirely in the U.K. everything involves Thales,MBDA,Leonardo,zweis,airbus, Because even the infamous 100 year British army Landrover has been discontinued. It’s factory is now in Poland and produces only civilian eco horseshit.

We don't call it a "bivvie" mate we call it a "bv". A bivvie is a waterproof bag we pull over our sleeping bag.

@@joeeasy8144 In fairness the one tanker I knew tended to drawl his words together, which may have been where I got it from. (I am familiar with the waterproof bag as well through camping etc)

We also don't get called tanker. it's tankie or donkey walloper depending on the regiment

@@firkit2 Now 'Tankie' has a completely different connotation for me, because I had to deal with Student Politics. 'Tankie' is a common nickname for Stalinists/extreme Marxists.

Yeah, it was a NATO requirement that ever nation had to follow until they all didn’t but Brits being Brits followed the rules.

@@garlicbreadstick404 LOL IKR

Lol

I’m afraid the infantry support tank was born in 1916. And will probably be the same in 2116

Nonsense. Centurion was a completely different design concept to Churchill, the latter being an infantry support tank. Centurion, Chieftain and Challenger have absolutely nothing in common with the Churchill.

Still counts.

And it proves the video end correct; It's a tank for today, not the future

Centurion was developed as a "Gun tank", slightly different to an MBT. It still needed support from other tank types like the Caernarvon or Conqueror, so it doesn't truly fit the bill as a main battle tank until you get to the Mk.7 variant

@@ArmorCast No, the 1st ever MBT is the Centurion.

@@carwyngriffiths no

but unlike Indias Arjun, Cr2 is more likely to face modern heavy armored MBT. Indias neighbours primarily field 80´s era sovjet MBT for wich Arjuns gun is good enough

@@zhufortheimpaler4041 I think you are forgetting China has more mordernish MBTs.... thou not Abrams or Chally or Leos

@@vvgplays yeah but i dont think China and India will fight a War in the high Himalaya with MBT´s respectively, the MBT´s wont matter that much in that situation. its high mountain warfare on foot and with fieldguns plus maybe high altitude capable helicopters.

I found the answer for this once in a video about the Abrams, but I dont remember what is was lmao

Answer? Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot. A rifled barrel will hinder the performance of it, and considering that APFSDS is the common round(I think) it is now preferred to have a smooth bore.

The closest to that is the Merkava.

The vent tubes pop out the breech a bit sharpish

Thanks, appreciate the tip off.

Depends on what you mean by "powerful". That one lacks the towing capacity of the CRARRV for example

The Challenger's fin rounds aren't quite as accurate as those fired from the smoothbore 120mm, though that's more to do with the thing's fire control system (which was slow at best... downright outdated at worst). The thing is though, that a lot of people assume Challenger's gun is MORE accurate, because they apply the same thought process you would to rifling a handgun in order to fire a conical bullet... At the very maximum, the Challenger's rounds are going to be AS accurate as those of the smoothbore guns, though in practise, they were more like 15-20% worse...

too bad, that it is just another upgrade, this time with german Leo2 Components. the market is already filled by Leo2, t90, t84 and M1, so it is unlikely that a british contender would have a chance, unless it is significantly surperior to existing platforms. Leo2 and Leclerc will start phaseout at the end of the decade and the MGCS will start to replace them. at that time Cr3, wich is just an Cr2 with technology upgrades that bring it up to 2020 standarts, will enter service..... the UK should have invested/joined in the MGCS programme and for the meantime leased Leo2 or M1

@@zhufortheimpaler4041 not happening we are not relying on other countries and Britain has got a chance when Leopard 2 need replacing and we have got new Technologies in the works for tanks.We are going to take the frigate market in Europe and quite a lot of countries in the world and Britain’s going hydrogen power

@@jammiedodger7040 the UK is already lagging behind with MBT developement, and also its Frigate developement is not the only one in Europe. Germany and France will start to introduce the MGCS around the same time, Cr3 will be fully operational.

@@zhufortheimpaler4041 Germany doesn’t have the ship capacity

@@jammiedodger7040 yes, as germany does not need a big "high seas fleet", as it is a primarily landlocked country. on the other hand, germany is building some of the most modern warships and submarines in the world.

Khalid was developed FROM the Shir 1, not the other way around. As for Chieftain 900, that's a different project entirely

Cope harder

Nah, seems to be a recurring misconception recently for some reason that a couple KZfaq channels have repeated, but everything I can find including testimonies from the two tanks’ crews say they were standard fin rounds

@@ArmorCast the sight graticules run out well before 3200m for apfsds. But on to 5000m for hesh

Oh I grind the stuff too, been playing for seven years!

Bit of a technicality. Chieftain was Britain’s first MBT that was DESIGNED as an MBT from the get-go. The Centurion was actually designed as a standard medium tank during WW2, and then became what’s called a “gun tank”, same as the M47 Patton, the M103, and the FV214 Conqueror (the latter two of which are often erroneously called “heavy tanks”). The first Centurion model that can be considered a proper main battle tank is the Mk.9 (or the Mk.7/2, but from memory the Mk.9 actually came first). A lot of people mistake the “main battle tank” as just being an alternate name for the “medium tank” in a world where “heavy tanks” no longer exist… but that’s not the case. Medium tanks, heavy tanks, gun tanks, and main battle tanks, are all distinct classes of vehicle. I actually meant to do a dedicated explainer video about this concept, but haven’t yet gotten around to it. The old KZfaq channel of ManyMilesAway has a decent explainer on the gun tank concept though
