navnig Depends on who you know for instance my dads got a tvr and we live near a tvr specialist garage so parts for him are easy to get as he can just ask the mechanic who runs the garage to find them. However if you do not have that privilege I can imagine locating some parts would be quite hard
SNP Alba forever Funnily enough, there was a divorce involved some years back lol TVR now gone though, and a Mk2 RS has taken its place.. not quite as shouty as the TVR ;)
SNP Alba forever Mk 2 Focus RS.. bright green lol Yeah same mate & also remarried now, except she’s Spanish, and fortunately also ok with the car.. Had a few bikes too mate, got a Fireblade for when I’m in the mood.. 👍🏼 Only ever owned one French car, a Peugeot 309 that broke down every other day lol
Exactly, don't start the whole ''this tank is better than that'' discussion again. Simply enjoy the sheer power of these machines, both Challenger and Leopard are awesome to see and hear!
Main reason I like the looks of the Chally 2 TES is because of all of the ERA and slat armour plastered all over it. Way prefer the looks of these kind of armour solution rather than Hardkill Active Protecting Systems like the trophy system installed on tanks like the Merkava.
@Steveness stiffler C2 wasn't designed to sneak up ans surprise the enemy. It was designed to sit on the North German Plain and pick off Soviet armour from long distance, then move to another firing position and do the same again. added to which, it's not excessively smokey or noisy, especially in the middle of WW3!
I remember a chally2 display a few years ago at the old style tank arena, the tank turret rotated and the end of the gun barrel wizzed over the heads of the crowd, people ducked, I wish I had got it on video :)
Great vid - that shows how it should be done, we want to HEAR the machine as well as see it! Too often TV shows fail to grasp this point - esp now we have 5.1 HiFi stereo...Tanks!
Yeah, right. The Armata isn't even an MBT, it's a base vehicle which can be configured in different ways. The Merkava is just plain old. I'm guessing you are about 15 years old and don't know what the word research means.
See, this is what we need more of. A little friendly elbow bumping and casual rivalry with very much tongue in cheek. Not leaping on arguements. Good stuff. :p
Best armour in the world. May not be as agile as a T-90 or have a Rheinmetall gun, but after its taken all that you can throw at it, and it gets within lethal kinetic range of that Royal Ordnance 120mm , you are fucked
@@lukegodden1529 at what? Fire control systems? Mobility? Armour? Logistics? Production amounts? Firepower? So far the challenger is behind on every single thing mentioned
@@lukegodden1529 don’t even get me started on how the 1500hp gas turbine engine is substantially more reliable to operate than the v12 turbo diesel on this
@@supercarguy547 Firstly, production amounts has nothing to do with how good a tank is... Secondly, I'll give you mobility, challenger is very heavy with the TES on but I will simply not accept, fire control systems or armour. The challenger is second to none and it has proved itself in action. Not one challenger 2 has ever been knocked out in action before, the only incident involved another chally during training. With regards to the engine, although the gas turbine might prove to be more reliable, in the event of some kind of damage or work having to be done on the battlefield, the diesel is a much simpler and easier to fix engine. Not to mention the sheer loudness of the Abrams, you can hear it coming from miles away.
It would stomp any american trash you would throw against it! Remember who's armour packages are on the M1A1 pal, without british engineering your tanks would be Russian tier crud buckets..
@@EricH_1983 lol the challenger was a pile of shit lol failed in the testing trials in Canada against the leopard 2 and Abrams and continues to be one of the worst performing western tanks within training exercises or competitions do I need to mention how the Abrams has a far better armour layout has a far better engine in both performance reliability and maintenance it has a more multi purpose gun that fires better ammunition has a far better fire control system
The 2NG is just a modernised 2A4, y'know? Plus, there is no way anyone can say what kills what. 2A7+ and CR2:SR stats, numbers and capabilities are intensely secret. There is no way to say for sure either way. tl;dr - Just enjoy the cool tanks.
All this thing needs is a 1500 up engine, smoothbore gun with one piece ammo and duplicate controls (like the Swedish S Tank) and you have the perfect AFV.
Announcer I notice didnt mention the nuke shells lol the depleted uranium ones....iirc they fire low yield tactical field nuke shells too...obviously not at the show lol
All I see is a antenna tank that is a magnet for every tank, missile team, even the kitchen sink hurlers on a battlefield. Tank crews are trained to go after command tanks as their primary targets.
Don't you wish it was the 80's again? Those days you had something to lay your sight on to pull the trigger. These days we're jumping at shadows. I grew up ducking into narrow hallways and fallout shelters for "storm drills", TBH, were really disaster drills for the real thing.
but the Leo2 has a better gun and armor wise we cant compare since the Leo2's armor hasnt been tested yet but i think the Ch2 has an advantage in this department, finally the Leo2 has more speed.
And that guy bigin up the German tank corps. LOL they're chip shop to say the least I've seen them train, but I suppose that's what you get from still forcing waste men to join up.
Perkins bought out RR, which was then purchased by Caterpillar. Original design is a cast iron block RR v12 turbo diesel which can develop over 1500hp.
My history teacher was a tank driver in the TA, he says that whatever the equipment they use, you never EVER want to come against a German tank corp. So It might munch on leopards, just ones which aren't driven by Germans.
It gets boring when all he does is driving in circles for about...5 times, at least could load 3 practice shells and shoot at some practice target or something, make it entertaining...otherwise, boring, but nice to see it driving...

I Wish megatron will transform into this tank in new Transformers movie
I guess that makes Soundwave a Command Truck while Starscream the new F 35
Hail
My neighbours complain about my TVR being noisy.. the bastards should be grateful I don't get one of these!!
Haha! How hard is it to get spares for a TVR these days?
I'm asking because I spotted a Tuscan up in the North of Scotland, not far from me for sale but it needs work done...

for a tank that is considered to be underpowered on paper, I am always impressed by the challenger 2's acceleration overall agility
+Jadervason There are plenty that are better.
+gtaclevelandcity what is your point
Jadervason I am pointing out that most other tanks are faster and more agile.
+gtaclevelandcity are those other tanks considered underpowered
Jadervason I doubt that an Abrams, Leo 2, T90, K2 Black Panther, etc are considered underpowered.
Megatron's almighty sound!
Loving the sound of that Perkins 26.6 ltr CV12 Diesel engine.
Exactly, don't start the whole ''this tank is better than that'' discussion again.
Simply enjoy the sheer power of these machines, both Challenger and Leopard are awesome to see and hear!
Im loving the complements round here
holy shit i love this tank. best looking tank in my opinion

Matty Boyzie Sorry matty but it doesn't, it still has the l30a1 rifled gun and thats the way it'll stay. look it up.
Tele Player its 3 piece ammo mate....you are forgetting the vent tube!
Tele Player Yep the loader only has to handle 2 pieces, but without the 3rd it doesnt go boom !
+MrGoodkat Only advantage being the ammo storage? How about significantly higher muzzle velocity for KE weapons since, you know, it's a smoothbore?
awesome video of this beast :D
Wow beautiful
That diesel is pure therapy for my ears
It's been transformed enough, thats why we gave it
the name.
I was waiting for the transforming haha ;)
Megatron 😍😍
Great looking tank, I have to say.. :)
There is a great video on RUclips showing two leopards going underwater, amazing thing to see.
This is simply the best sounding engine to ever be made imo. Nothing comes close.
Leyland L60
Despite the fact that they look very similar, I always think that the Challenger looks so much more formidable than an Abrams

Interesting :)
What a Beast!

Yeah the side armour are equip with Explosives planels and double ERA to stop tandem shape

That's an IED Jammer, not a command broadcaster. All Challengers have them now in theatre.
Thats an interesting fact, does anyone know what that bird cage like antenna is for ?
i was there :D
Sound engine super. USA Abrams turbine engine, very goood :-). Super Challenger Family and Centurion/Chieftain.
It has turbos thats why its loud plus its a tank
The Whistle is the radiator fans
+rigsofrodsmaster No it isn't, the engine is a twin turbo, it's those which is the high pitch whistling you can hear.
It's going through a upgrade soon.
All this thing needs is a 1500 up engine, smoothbore gun with one piece ammo and duplicate controls (like the Swedish S Tank) and you have the perfect AFV.
Challenger 3 😁
Woo they have engine stealth mode but not switched on ...I guess cos its secret....also not got its exhaust mufflers on they use in battle...
Dan warford . Yea
So do I, I was driving it. lol
Announcer I notice didnt mention the nuke shells lol the depleted uranium ones....iirc they fire low yield tactical field nuke shells too...obviously not at the show lol
true, but when you consider that this is has dorchester armour. SABOT and Jav's just won't cut it.
This and Leopard 2 of Germany are the most superior tanks of the world.
Yes!and waiting for the new Challenger
Red Hot TURBOS
All I see is a antenna tank that is a magnet for every tank, missile team, even the kitchen sink hurlers on a battlefield. Tank crews are trained to go after command tanks as their primary targets.
No that is for jamming possible IEDs... All are fitted with thus now
Absolutely certain she's perkins
Typically British.....table on top for afternoon tea with scones, strawberry jam and devon cream....😋
I'd choose to be a Challenger than ANY other tank in a battle.
Ha! Megatron, 2 letters away from a certain cyborg from Doctor Who...

Como le costó suvir esa loma debe calentar cómo un caldera ese motor
Us British don't aft invent and build some of the best stuff in the world don't we 💪 I think it's the best all round tank but I'm probably biased
for the inside video, and live firing Challenger 2 A Driver's View. RWxY
The Leopard is amphibious, so if it sees a Challenger2, it can drive into a river and hide underwater, until the Challenger2 has driven away ;)
Guys guess what ive been in this tank and stood on it im only a cadet
Guess what, I've sat at the gunners controls and I was only 10 years old at the time
Guess what no one gives two shits...
In what world?^^
but the Leo2 has a better gun and armor wise we cant compare since the Leo2's armor hasnt been tested yet but i think the Ch2 has an advantage in this department, finally the Leo2 has more speed.
Speed isn't everything
And that guy bigin up the German tank corps. LOL they're chip shop to say the least I've seen them train, but I suppose that's what you get from still forcing waste men to join up.
Hate to experience one of theses bastards coming at me.
M1A2 who?
This Chally 2 will eat the T-14 Armata for breakfast
Are you sure it's a Perkins and not a Rolls Royce?
Perkins bought out RR, which was then purchased by Caterpillar. Original design is a cast iron block RR v12 turbo diesel which can develop over 1500hp.

not designed to be attacked from the back.. ooops..
only the french amor the rear; ) no surrender no retreat
yeah ..in your dreams!
is it not a Cummings
Why Megatron?
All hail megatron
It’s from Transformers I think. Kids cartoon made into a film.
It can sure as shit haul for being over 70 tonnes.
um its a 60-68 tonnes
close enough! :D
no no no no your miles off....:D
still good enough guess wise.
+DEZiiRE_GH0sTy Lee pretty sure with every upgrade its just over 70
GermanMilitaryPower. I'm in Germany. What about you?
Needs some painted on flames around the engine
Guns? Range? Armour? Speed? Who gives a shit? Any way you cut it, British tanks sound BOSS!
dude have you seen ww2 tanks compared to this?
get educated this is nothing or sounds nothing like a world war 2 tank...
can you remove this comment it is not menat to be public knowledge im sure you have found it somewhere but lets not make it to easy fr the bad guys
It gets boring when all he does is driving in circles for about...5 times, at least could load 3 practice shells and shoot at some practice target or something, make it entertaining...otherwise, boring, but nice to see it driving...
