14 British Army Oshkosh HET (Heavy Equipment Transporter) seen returning Challenger 2 Tanks & CRARRV vehicles to their home base, after a routine exercise. Subscribe for regular content!
size of main battle tanks should be regulated to a fixed measure worldwide . . . especially a tank's width & height . . . personally I think modern day tanks should be 268 mm - 342 mm less wider than the floor (base) of the tank transporter trailer they're transported on & towed by heavy duty semi trucks . . . you'll notice most battle tanks being transported on huge trailer trucks, have their tracks nudging outside the sides of the trailer, meaning the tank is wider than the lateral width of the trailer . . .
The British variant uses the Caterpillar C-18 engine, an 18.1l six-cylinder in-line turbocharged and after-cooled diesel power unit that can produce 700hp.
What make are these transporters and who makes them , I can remember when they used to be thornycroft would love to see just stop oil protesters sit down or slow walk in front of one of these when they come round a bend.
@@WarMachineTV-nr3jn They are also driven by civilians that are contracted to the Army and when they are not being used the drivers work for Tesco distribution.
@@WarMachineTV-nr3jn FTX is a company owned by the mod. they own the trucks and carry out most day to day movings of vehicles. Black plate hets are operated by army and normally fill in gaps where FTX cannot man, or when its live ops and training exercies
Man i wish i can learn how to drive these. Just looks awesome! What is the gross weight of this ? Any chance to see them somehow on a truck show or somewhere? I would love to show these to my son 😊
@t.l.robinson2162 looks like you done this before. Hats off if to you it's easy. Unfortunately I have no experience with truckdriving. Especially with this type of a truck . This is lot heavier, wider and longer than a regular truck...but damn it looks good. 😳 in the future I'm maybe going to get my licence. But to be honest I watching lots of trucking video and doesn't matter is it in Europe or US in every video drivers says trucking just not as good as in the past. Too many idiots on the road they say. Too many senseless rules they have to follow so this just make me hesitate.
@WarMachineTV-nr3jn 82?! That is like a weight of a smaller locomotive! Wow! That is awesome. I just try to imagine to operate a monster with that load! 🙂
when i left school in 1981 i started training as a mechanic on the new YOP scheme at REME in Bordon Hampshire. i worked on all sorts of vehicles from a ford escort staff car to cheiftan tanks. i got to see the very first 2 prototype challenger 1 tanks. it was the best 6 months of my life. Sadly the army moved out of the town round 10 years ago. seeing APC 432's 's driving up and down the main road was an everyday occourance
