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.

    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

    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.

    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".

    So, we have absolutely no idea what its Dorchester armour comprises off. The only reference we have is we know what Burlington arrays No.1 to 4 looked like, which were in fact bulging plate technology using plastic and steel. However, that technology was patented in 1962 and Dorchester is a much newer and advanced development from the Burlington arrays and like how the Germans dropped the bulging plate armour design in their B-Tech armours and started using ceramics in newer armours in C-Tech and the US went with using depleted Uranium in some way with is HAP and NGAP armour over the bulging plate armours in its early BRL armours, it's likely Dorchester has moved onto incorporating more advanced material arrays. However, despite what most people say, there is absolutely no available information that gives us an idea of what Dorchester is made off. I'd be lying to say it didn't bug me to see the composite armour animated right in the front within the 100mm steel plate armour but I know its just for education purposes.

    Could be worth to mention that one of the cons is the rifling of the gun, which slows down the sabbot rounds (so less penetration power) but are neccesary for HESH rounds which are less effective because of explosive reactive armor. I think they are considering going smooth bore for their next challenger version.

    Another detail, with a full system the gunner does not correct for wind and elevation. Elevation is calculated at the point of lasing and acquiring the range to the target. Windage is calculated via data from the MET sensor mounted on top of the turret. Only when all systems have failed does the gunner have to resort to manual correction. Great video though, brought back memories. 👍

    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.

    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.

    Being a loader in a tank crew sucks. So you don't have any special features, all you have to do is load the right ammo quickly. When your tank is in battle, you are the most important member of the crew, but unfortunately you are never remembered. In my country's war 60 years ago, a T-34 crossed incredibly steep mountains and got behind our opponent and cornered him. Members of the tank crew were declared heroes, but the presence of the crew member who served as a loader was not mentioned in the monument built for them. If it weren't for him, the tank wouldn't even be able to fire, but it was forgotten. Likewise, this is happening not only in us, but all over the world. I heard that crew members operating Abrams tanks in the Middle East were fighting each other to avoid taking the Loader role.
