British Main Battle Tank Challenger 2 (Desertised)
About the Challenger 2
Compared to the Challenger 1 MBT that saw service during the Gulf War,
the Challenger 2 features improved second generation Chobham armor
capable of withstanding armor piercing and shape charge rounds.
The fire control system was updated with the latest digital technology,
including a panoramic commander's sight with built-in laser rangefinder
and a thermal gunner's sight.
The 120mm L30 rifled main gun provides improved muzzle velocity and
accuracy, and enables the Challenger 2 to discharge armor piercing,
HESH, smoke and depleted uranium rounds.
Special modifications to tanks deployed to Iraq included reactive armor
added to the front, composite armor on the sides,
a special cover to reduce exhaust heat, canvas skirts to reduce dust
ingestion,
Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV) and Combat Identification
Panels (CIP). |
