Leopard tank was fast but it's armour would have felt like tin foil in a battle. I would prefer to be in a tank with thick armour and a big eff off gun.
Please, can we use footage from your RU-vid channel for our videos about military cars, trucks a other machines? We tag your channel as a source ,... thank you. :)
@@leonardosena6338 The Challenger 2 has seen quite a bit of combat. One was hit by 14 RPGs and an ATGM and the crew remained unharmed. The worst damage was done to the optics and the tank was back in action just 6 hours later. There have been many more similar occurrences.
Chieftain L60 engine totally unreliable, thank god there was not a war. .......but a fantastic SOUNDING 2stroke engine !!! REME should have been given a special Long Service Miracle Medal keeping them going. But I did enjoy my period repairing them ......just saying.....
I was just reading on Quora, some guy's post about the Iran Iraq War, where Iran used the Chieftan against the T-62 and lost like 65% of them. Though I suspect that was mainly due to shitty crews.
What a sound if they released it in the charts I'm sure it would make number one,would I need to reinforce my drive to park this on it it weighs 65 tonnes right?is this tankfest in 2013 my god how it's changed the amount of people that go now and it's probably all to do with a game called "world of tanks"I suppose,chieftains a great tank too
This wasn't even Tankfest - just a weekday event during the school holidays. You are right though, after World of Tanks and other games like it, the museum is a very popular place.
if you dont like the centurion are you even human. if you dont like the Chieftain you must of been the person who had to change out the engine every time. if you dont like the challenger 1/2 you must of been an iraqi soldier
Too bad that Cenurion, the true forefather of both the Chieftain as well as the Challenger, got a bit shortshrifted in this otherwise nice video. In the comments, the Centurion was mentioned of being a tank of the 1950s but in fact it was designed and first produced in the 1940s (as A41 which was 1st deployed in Europe in May 1945.). In ts days (which lasted throughout the 1980s and even into 1990s the Centurion was at the Apex of weapons technology. Just though that I'd mention it. Depending on how one looks at it and taking into account its operational use, Units built, operational deployment in actual battle and combat success-rate, the Centurion might conceivably not be considered the best, but at the very least the finest tank ever for its crew.
I was stationed in Detmold for four years from 1966 and the Cents were still in use then. On 'exercise' they would churn up tarmac roads in the summer and when the motors hit the 'governors' they would backfire loudly. All good fun to a 18 year old RPM L/Cpl on traffic duty watching the tank's driver grimace as he double de-clutched to change gear. Always wanted to dive a tank, especially a Chieftain.
I can remember working as a young apprentice pipefitter at chilwell depot, Nottinghamshire, aged 16 in 1977. these noisy, smelly, huge monstrous tanks, along with other vehicles, would come in for service/refurb. fuck me, did they make a racket on the test track, we could hear them miles away. chilwell depot now a shadow of its former self. damned sad.
@@coolcatzsavesthekid8263 No way is that the 40 ton cent. The hull looks like a t72 or t 80 but I'm not sure about the turret. Whatever it is , it's Russian.
That's me coming through the chicane @1m 57s in a blue 2014 Jetta GT 150ps TDI pretty good car but sold it about two weeks now in a 2015 Polo BlueGT 150ps 1.4TSI.....now is going to fun o track always regretted selling my W-REG Polo GTI (a few naughty points means a Polo GTI again will have to wait a few years).
The anticipation....take a look at my footage from the stage, including our cameraman being hit ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CeM8jo0gEX0.html
It was just some 'pantomime style' role playing - the Leopard was being used by the 'bad guys' - not meant to be a reflection on the quality of the tank at all.
William Maiden The L60 currently in that chieftain Is modified to solve the terrible head gasket wear, and really bad upper opposed piston arm wear due to insufficient oil flow. This thing cranks out 1200hp instead of 750hp now but in an unfortunate pull config, which results in delayed power. Once the cheiftain gets going, it' fairly fast. (:
Things getting a bit out of hand here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xWnZ-IxUmgE.html The DTV Chevette spent ages trying to perfect a left front wheelie through the far chicane. Got it mind. Ta
Yep, I think that was one of the problems wit the new layout - it got a bit crowded at the finish (and less room to show off of course). Still a good show though. The Chevette was certainly very entertaining at all parts of the circuit.
