This is the Tank that got hit with 14 RPG rockets and an ATG missile .

Yes that’s right and in one incident around 70 RPGs were launched against it and survived.

well it’s all because of this Top Secret Dorchester or Chobham armor built with possibly multiple space layers of steel and plastic.

We will also be looking at the Fire and Control System of this tank! using this Stationary joystick to track and fire with this trigger, hidden just below the controls.

Interestingly this tank requires 3 parts of Ammunition loading process ! to fire this rifle gun and most importantly the basic process of driving this tank! all in the videos ahead, so don't miss a beat !

Imortant Notes from our Audience The Community is great here.
1) "Qasim Mir"
It’s important to note regarding driving is that the steering is geared. Meaning with each gear there is a different turn radius, so if you want to do a tight turn you must change down a few gears to be able to do it. Another thing is the steering tillers only control where the front of the tank is pointing. Meaning, if going ahead and you want to turn right, you must ‘come right stick’ pulling the right lever, but, if you’re reversing and you want to turn right you must ‘come left stick’ and pull the left lever.

It would be good to touch on the tank’s suspension. Unlike other NATO tanks using torsion bars, Challenger 2 uses hydro pneumatic suspension. The British don’t like suspension that is mounted inside the hull on MBTs so you will never find a British tank with torsion bars. Before on Centurion and Chieftain they had Horstmann suspension. Challenger introduced the outside mounted hydro pneumatic which was easy to service but also performs better at springing and dampening than torsion bar.

2) "Qasim Mir"
The firing procedure for a Challenger 2 engagement is as follows (as far as I know):
Commander or gunner will acquire the the target: ‘A fin, a tank!’
(‘Fin’ means APFSDS)

Operator will load the the relevant round
Gunner when he’s brought to target by the commander and adjusted aim will shout: ‘ON!’ or ‘ARMED!’ Idk😳
Operator will report: ‘LOADED!’
Gunner will fire: ‘Firing!’💥
When the round hits, gunner will say: ‘Target!’
If the commander is satisfied with the damage he will reply: ‘Target stopped!’
End of engagement.

You miss the most imprtant part, the very core and soul of this tank and all british tanks, the tactical tea maker.

One of the few channels which actually point out its 3 part ammo....Well done.

I always wondered how challenger was different from abrams you hear all the time about abrams blow out panel or how it drives. These vids are great very informative and gets straight to the point of how the tanks works that can’t get from a google search easily. I look forward to all the future vids.

[Uga-booga]

Wow! What an amazing machine. Excellent video.

[HideeyeeL]

Amazing what engineers can achieve when it comes to weaponry 💥

[thenoblecat]

So basically, they designed this tank all in defend stat, the attack is based on the elite crews from British

I am Russian, and I can barely speak English. Much less be polite. First of all, thank you very much.
1. The coaxial chain gun looks much simpler, single barrel. It has features important for a close tank.
2. English tanks are one of the narrowest today. Even in comparison with the Soviet ones. The thing about railroad overpasses. Some decisions of this tank have to do with the width.
3. The hydraulic automatic transmission does not disengage the clutch, but reduces the power of one of the tracks.
4. The Challenger can still fire at a large downward lean angle, which increases its heavy turret. It has relatively high ground clearance, a smooth bottom, and mine protection. This, too, increases the height.
5. The suspension of this tank is unusual: compact and adjustable (located on sides, not on the bottom, which reduces the height of the tank). That is why the tank can withstand unprecedented overloading of the hinged protection.
6. The inclined multilayer armor barrier refracts (as in optics) the shock front of the penetrator many times. This leads to its defocusing (as in optics). In practice it looks like the penetrator is crumbled, by dissipating the energy to fluctuate the layers.

A positive you failed to mention is the suspension that allows better cross country performance than its competitors even with higher power engines. Coupled with easier repair to the external suspension units when damaged in combat, whereas battle damaged welded torsion bars in the Leopards and Abrams require back to base, torsion bar torch-cutting, disassembly, removal and repair.

I am very happy to see that your video quality is developing. Hope you get more subscribers soon . ❤ from 🇮🇳.

[mongoliandude]

I'm glad you're talking about the Challenger 2 here and not the "Challenger 3". The UK government isn't fooling anyone that what is merely upgrade suite is a new tank.

[Onigatana]

This video is extremely helpful for someone that wants to 3D model a game ready tank with an Interior and physicalized damage. Thanks for this video.

[MrT-LFC]

Stumbled upon the video. Now hooked. Excellent work!

[GeneralThargor]

You forgot it's most important feature, the water boiler so you can have a nice cup of tea after the battle.

[gustaafpeeters]

In reality, in Ukraine they are kept at the behind the lines on demand of the British, the front is "not safe enough" I wonder what's the point for sending them.

[edandaniels]

really useful. I am about to break into an armored division's HQ and steal a tank and this is going to be helpful. appreciate the info!

[hb_main]

the up armoured variant you show is actually pushing 85 tonnes

[andypandy]

The Mk 4 was not just the first British Tank, it was the first Tank anywhere.
To keep them secret before they were first used in World War One they were described as "Mobile Water Tanks", or just "Tanks". The name stuck. 😃

[JoshEastham]

I wish I discovered this channel earlier. Every time there is a country show I never get to go in the challenger because the queue is too long. So it is nice to know how the internals, and periscope work etc
