Challenger 2 Tank How it Works - with Chobham Armour and Iron Fist 

Hello, when will Turkish subtitles come to your videos. Because there is no Turkish subtitles even in the automatic translation section.

Thank you for sharing my information.

I LOVE IT THIS ARMOR IS STILL CLASSIFIED AND THIS VIDEO IS BULLSHIT IVE SEEN A BROKEN ABRAMS TANK SKIRT And holy SHIT Chalanger is a slow shooter I could load off a round on an Abrams less than a round every 3 seconds

Please also do one content for the South Korean K2 Black Panther. Thanks!

Short correction here: 1. Challenger 1 still used the same Horstmann Suspension as Chieftain. 2. The shown weight of the different MBT´s and especcially Challenger 2 are false. Challenger 2 without TES (Theater Entry Standard armor addons) weights in 62.5 metric tons, with TES it weights 75-76 metric tons. Leopard 2A7V and M1A2 SEP.V3 weight in at about 66 metric tons. 3. The L30A1 rifled 120mm L/55 gun is exclusively used by the Challenger 2 (L11 rifled 120mm L/55 gun is the predecessor on Challenger 1 and Chieftain). No other NATO partner uses this gun. Leopard 2, M1 Abrams and Ariete use variants of the RH120 smoothbore 120x570mm L/44 or L/55 gun, Leclerc uses the GIAT CN-26/52 gun, a 120x570mm smoothbore gun with 52 caliber lengths. 4. The Enforcer RWS is not regularly mounted on Challenger 2, even in TES configuration. This was added for the "Street Warrior" upgrade for urban combat. Only one Squadron was fitted out like this. 5. Black Knight, aswell as the other LEP Prototypes were in the end not procured and canceled. The described Challenger 2 would not be used in reality, the regular Challenger 2 does not feature a RWS nor an APS system. 6. The Incident where a Challenger 2 was hit by a Milan ATGM, the Milan used was a Milan 1 ATGM from 1972, wich was sold to Irak in 1982-83 by france. The Milan 1 ATGM had a single HEAT Warhead with about 350mm RHAe Penetration. This was indicently less penetration capability than the RPG-7WN and RPG-7WR used by iraki forces (wich had about 500-700mm RHAe penetration) This is btw not an example of exceptional survivability. If you throw a waterballoon at someone and another one filled with solid ice at another person, you wouldnt say that the person hit with the normal waterballoon is exceptionally tough because he can take the hit. CR2 is a late 1980´s design with armor thickness representing that. 350mm HEAT Penetration wont penetrate the frontal armor and would likely struggle with the side armor too. Similarly the RPG´s have 500-600mm penetration, that wont do much to the front, at the side this would also be likely not enough to penetrate. This would be also the case for Leopard 2A5 and later versions aswell as M1A2 Abrams versions. Other, more modern ATGM and RPG´s, like 9K135 Kornet ATGM with estimated 1200mm Tandem HEAT Warhead would seriously threaten Challenger 2, as it did with Leopard 2 and M1. 7. one also has to mention that the steering tiller system is quite outdated and anachronistic on a vehicle that entered service in 1998, while basicly all other NATO MBT´s from 1978 onwards used steeringwheels and more user friendly controls. 8. in comparison to other NATO MBT´s the Engine of CR2 is quite underpowered and both offroad and on road topspeed of CR2 is about 10-15km/h slower than the competition in both areas. 9. Major Con: Neither Ammunition nor Spareparts are in production for the last 10+ years, the Vehicle itself has basicly no export and is out of production since 2006. This turns the Cr2 into a logistical trap

That tea reference is so hackneyed

Chally of the woods approves.

The tactical tea maker was in the Challenger 1. The Challenger 2 has a boil water unit that can do more than make tea but is mostly just used for tea

As an English man I would be offended if it didnt have one

@@davidbridge5652 I can tea bag you if you want?.....

Thank You

tu saresti il nobile Staminchia?

Кто-то этого не знает😂😂😂?

Ok

How does a mig 29 work plzz

@@mathijeba5375 Ok after we are done with the T90 Russian tank Autoloader Mechanism

@@Aitelly please make a video explaining the Fly-By-Wire for unstable aircrafts.

Oke dokey👍👍👍😁😁😁

Next Russian T90M Autoloader

Can't get from a Google search easily? Lol

still a coward in ukraine 😂😂

ora hai capito perchè gli abrams bruciano che è una meraviglia?

Thanks for the beautifully written notes. Learned a lot today

We have Credited you for this insightful comment.

HAS to have good suspension or the crew might spill their cuppa!

@@danhodson7187 Indeed. Tea is vital for victory.☕️

Great read. My dad spent his career transporting challengers and other vehicles nice to have a good insight into it all.

Thanks for the comment

Awesome of you thanks 🙏

yes

Imagine if engineers were hired to build space ships that ran on rocket-less propulsion. It's already been done.

​@@Aitelly 2:20 The Soviets made their bridge capacity 45 tons so that when western tanks passed, the bridge would immediately collapse

Now we know why.

@zz_mike-hawk_zz True challenger ii lost undefeated in Ukraine against a powerful atgm, only the Abraham m1a2 remains to be seen in action and performance.

@@overdrivelzma.9219 I have made a video about it, it you want to check it out.

Send them back then, talk about biting the hand that feeds you

and that the reason for Merkava 4 b the best tank in the world. The Merakava's Marching to the battlefield, and know how came back home safely

Thanks 👍

U plannin on stealing a tank?

@@loadapish 😊

Indeed she is.

Да , красивый...Только поэтому на него и соблазнилась одна страна в мире , кроме Англии.

After the Leopard she's definitely one of the most beautiful.

Thanks 👍

Yes. We thought everyone knew about it

Kettle you silly billy

During the battle, dear boy

thanks

Can you grab me one while you're there?

Thanks Better Video as we try to recruit more people

Yes this was really impressive, I wonder how great the Challenger 3 will turn out to be if they did this well with the Chally 2.

Why is nobody mentioning the french Leclerc here?

In the real war with a regular and competent army challenger lost undefeated in Ukraine by the employment of a laser guide ATGM.

we love you Guys so much. Thanks!

no it isn't, the full TES version is 72 tonnes

Welcome

Thanks 🙏

Always Welcome

thanks

Always welcome

Well it’s an entirely new turret, gun, firing system, self defence system, new armour and new engine. So i would hardly call it a light upgrade. It will do nicely and certainly better than anything potential foes have. Just need more of them

The only thing the same between the II and III is the chassis. The gun is switching to smoothbore.

@@1maico1 Even then it's been changed, the lower Glacis has been up armoured on a chassis level not just add-on, the tank uses 3rd Gen Chobham called Farnham and has add-on armour like the Challenger 2 TES had called EPSOM which is upgraded from current standards (This is how we'd send tanks into battle with the add-on armour) So the Chassis has had a lot of work done, not forgetting APS has been confirmed, specifically Trophy.

Always welcome

They call "Chobham" most composite NERA armour variants, including non-British. Actually, part of Challenger2 armor plating and APS - made in Israel.

Thanks

It's a pity that Challenger II lost the undefeated in Ukraine to a semi-professional regular army.

Thanks

Thanks 🙏👍

Thanks

But we did not get any views 😔

@ Ernest Awesome point of view

@@Aitelly I was trying to present facts, not opinions. There are too many opinions around.

Point 5 the suspension system has inspired the new South Korean tanks and it will become more prevalent. Point 4 British tank designers have long valued being able to have a large depression angle, this has proved extremely valuable to them in many conflicts eg Korea and to the Israeli’s where the Syrian forces were at a significant disadvantage.

"I can barely speak English" delivers a seminar of information on the tank concisely. Please never learn English properly, you will make us look bad.

Thanks 🙏👍

Thanks Cosmic

Thanks

still a coward in ukraine 😂😂

@@zulfanirich7594 no need to use the good tanks yet. any old tank will do against poor wee russia and their egg cartons🤣🤣🤣

@chrisyoung9653 Already tested it against a professional army, Challenger lost the undefeated were 2 units lost out of 10, I don't think UK will give him more units.

@@overdrivelzma.9219 no they were only given so Germany would send leopard 2s. Worked great

@chrisyoung9653 It only remains the Abraham M1A2 to make their combat debut in Europe and see if they better withstand a high intensity war, I think France will never send its Leclercs.

Underrated comment.

Thanks 👍

Coming soon after we are done with Autoloader

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank You so much. We have also credited your name in our last Video

@@Aitelly thanks, I really appreciate that

yes

Merkava MkIV

@@valera5689 no next any ww2 tank

Yeah ww2 tanks were not mentioned in all of the videos

@@jacinthenricoso352 bruh the kv1 was mentioned

Thanks 👍

Spot on… The tank was originally named land ship by British Military in WW1. The name "tank" was initially a code name to maintain secrecy and disguise its true purpose by making it appear to be a water transport vehicle for bringing water to the troops at the front line. Extra Facts: Challenger 2 (CR2) tank can also set a smoke screen by the injection of diesel fuel into the engine exhausts. The secret weapon of any British Armoured Vehicle BV. A boiling vessel (BV) is a water heating system fitted to British armoured fighting vehicles that permits the crew to heat water and cook food by drawing power from the vehicle electrical supply. It is often referred to by crewmembers as "the most important piece of equipment in a British armoured vehicle".

Thanks for the support and Feedback notes

you are writing absolute nonsense.firstly, the world's first tank with composite armor was built in the USSR, the T-64.Secondly, the spaced armor in the forehead of the tower of several dozen armor plates with air gaskets and other materials is not a privilege of the USA and England.This has been done on the T-90 in Russia since the 90s

@@user-dl3nc4jx7k He didn't say "spaced" armour or "composite" armour. He was referring to Chobham armour specifically, which was used on the Challenger 1 and shared with the US for the M1A1. Dorchester is the upgraded Chobham variant on CH2, while the Americans developed their own variant for the M1A2.

Thanks 👍

T 90M Provy3 vs T 84 Oplot. This encounter will never happen Ukraine does not send its oplot to the front only owns 10 units.

Yes T90M the latest version

8 rounds in 42 seconds I think is the record.
