      There are already Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 tanks as well as pre production examples at the Tank Museum in Bovington England.
      It is the best armoured vehicle museum in the world, I recommend if you ever get the chance that you go there, you will not be disappointed.

      The RAF is way too small too as is the British Army.
      All of these cuts when we have had a right wing government since 2010.

      In the case of the Challenger 2, new gun barrels for the L30 gun haven't been produced since 2004.
      In addition according to a document from the Forecast International, the HESH round has
      been out of production in the U.K. for years, current
      supplies are increasingly limited, while for the APFSDS round the only
      facility for producing the DU penetrators in the U.K.
      has already closed.
      It seems that the UK is planning to spend their entire reverse of L30 ammo in Ukraine, then be done with it and completely change to the German RH-120 with the introduction of the Challenger 3.

      Your last paragraph also proves my point. Even without further production the Challengers in Ukraine will be supplied with UK sourced ammunition. Plus you also forgot the stockpiles in Oman.
      Changing to smoothbore makes new purchases cheaper and it allows the clearout of old ammunition for the rifled gun. Plus of course Ukraine is very good at making its own munitions especially if the machine tools are shipped from the UK or Germany.

      Ammo for the L30 gun was only produced by the BAE Systems. In addition currently BAE Systems is trying to re-establish tank ammo production, but for the RH-120 gun, not for the old L-30.

      Actually the tanks of NATO were designed to primarily fight on the plains of West Germany destroying the Soviet armour which would outnumber NATO armour if WW3 had ever broken out.
      In the Cold War they designed to move into position. Wait and with their thick armour and accurate guns hit advancing Soviet units.
      NATO knew it would have to hold back a full Warsaw Pact attack until reinforcements of men and equipment could arrive from further back in Europe and across the Atlantic from the USA and Canada.
      This was part of the reason for NATO always having large naval forces that could protect ships bringing forces across. Same as in WW2 where the Allied navies protected convoys and destroyed the German U boats.

    excellent report and very insightful to how the challengers are being used as the commander said it was designed as a cold war long-range tank killer to take hits and keep firing not an infantry support tank that's where ifv's come in wit hrapid fire chainguns if only the USA hadn't given all the retired bradleys to morroco

    • @cacwgm

      The Challenger actually has a range of ammunition designed for different targets, but it sounds as if this tank has only HESH rounds, and they've been told to use them only against heavy armour, whereas it's highly effective against any sort of hardened target. The restriction is probably a tactical choice - a Challenger can be almost guaranteed to hit and destroy its target, so best to keep it for the most difficult to destroy - heavy armour.

      ​@@cacwgmNo, the English translation is a bit off. What he actually says is that they have a variety of ammunition, but whatever they have for buildings and entrenched infantry is significantly less effective than the Soviet counterpart for the same targets. It's not the case that they are being told and therefore don't know that the rounds are actually highly effective, he is saying the decision was made based on experience (including his own). In terms of explosive potential it goes something like: US HEAT fragmentation < new US "universal" (heat+high explosive, forgot the name) ~= UK HESH

    So interesting to hear from the crews using it. The whole aspect of Tank warfare has changed in this conflict revealing the vulnerability and strengths of various tanks and the increasing threat of Drones. It also demonstrates that the CHALLENGER is a great tank, just ask the men who use it in this war zone.

    • @danielmartin7838
      @danielmartin7838 6 месяцев назад

      It’s the inability to fire the APFSDS and limitations to interoperability (ammo sharing) with NATO nations that’s led to the barrel change. You probably know that, so this is for those who don’t

      It can fire APFSDS, but it's custom built for the L30A1, so that the eggs is _not_ spun by the rifling. Unfortunately because it's two piece ammo it puts a hard limit on dart length which limits max penetration.
