To be honest I'm not sure. Some are to the rear, others to the flank but in a war they'd never be parked in rows in the open like this. Please check out my other video of Challengers in a battle group moving out.
There are a few reasons, It is so you can lift the back decks up for maint, you point the turrets the same way so a REME recovery vehicle can get easy access without barrels all over the place in case a Tank needs a pack lift (engine lift). A fuel truck can also move up the line easily (although this would normally be done beforehand) This is a non-tac formation and maybe a maint period for a day or so. There are a few other reasons such as bore sighting, gun maint etc.. and also, the military generally likes things looking uniform of course :-)
The L85A4 is a bloody good bit of kit. Its extremely accurate, has a high rate of fore and has developed into a very reliable, capable weapon system. Btw, we never called it the "SA80" in the Army. That was the commercial name of the development programme.
Superb! Thanks for uploading this brilliant footage!
Brings back memories, older vehicles though still the same, FV432 mk2 and Chieftain MK10’s
Me too. 3 RTR LAD ‘82-‘85
Amazing footage
+Matsimus Gaming: Thankyou- much appreciated!
7:20 "GIVE WAY", yep, GIVE WAY to the MBT that's been combat proven to be the best. The British Challenger II.

When you get the A and the V in but you miss the F xD
Doh! Will fix now! Thanks for the heads-up!
@@dialytan2002 wow... 3 years ago, replied in 20 mins... that's... impressive to say the least...
Better late than never! ;-) Check out the other video I did the year before!

Great footage! Subbed. Can I ask, why did they park up with turrets turned 90 degrees like that?

Looks like they were parking up, so maybe they chuck a tarpaulin over the barrel and there’s the shelter.

'This is an armoured battle-group on exercise and it's awesome'. Of course it is, its the British Army!
We make the best MBT’s in the world, yet can’t make our Infantry a decent main weapon....

@@ScienceChap There isn't even a weapon called the L85A4.
