The challenger is an absolute beast of MBT

[davidstone-haigh]

Fantastic day. Megatron made my chest throb with the sound of that massive engine.

[simongleed]

The Challenger 2 MBT is an impressive tank hopefully the Challenger 3 will be even more impressive and deadly, I do need to go to tank fest one of these days to experience the noise the thunder of tanks.
I am restoring a Chieftain MK10 MBT that is fully operational and very nearly restored all we have left to do is to respray the outside. I intend to post videos on how to maintain the Chieftain, starting procedures of the engine, starting and operating turret, using the improved fire control system (IFCS), trimming the gyroscopes system to stabilise the 120mm barrel and many other features on the Chieftain MBT like operating the search light. I will also discuss the L60 Leyland engine good and bad points.
Also, we recently completed restoration work of a 38 year old Leyland 804 tractor that might be of interest!

That no matter what others say the Challenger is one awesome piece of kit. We, Australia, bought Abrams, 2nd hand ones to boot, but nothing beats the sight of Megatron bearing down on you.

[curious]

It's Lord Megatron, which fitting, because many famous British official always got title like sir, or lord, so Megatron is British, love that tanks

[AFT_G]

What an absolute unit, definitely the largest MBT in the world.

Wow, it has a reversing camera. I am impressed.

[peghead]

Great Britain should revive " Conqueror " as a moniker of their next MBT.

[torben]

I have always thought this is the top tank in the world.
And this one … equipped like this… what a beast
man it must suck to be on the battle field trying to fight this .

[davidstone-haigh]

Fave vehicle? Probably all those amazing Shermans, though the Ha -Go was great too. Had a long chat with the crew on the 3rd day.

[AlecBurnett]

"We may be getting some letters from Greta soon" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Husker]

damn that turret traverse is alot faster IRL than shitty war thunder

[rajasabian]

everybody gangsta until the challenger transforms to an actual megatron

[erwtgfan]

Big question, is the mantlet hollow on both sides.

[littleBIGrobots]

It always creeps me out when I think about how tanks are basically massive guns attached to a rolling box that is designed to literally take a full-on shot from one of those massive guns. And the boxes have people inside them.

[hprgaming]

This is Much better than any russian tank

[Survve_Thrive]

@4:20 solid roof anecdote, presume that was an intentional test rather than an accicent? Explosive or training round?
