Ever hear the one about a Challenger 2 that survived 70 RPG rounds with only a damaged sight…

A Monster of a Tank. I was wondered what our (British) beast has been up to, not heard a word about them…
I wish the UK had enough to give Ukraine a couple of regiments, not just a squadron.
And the Abrams can sneak up on you in the din of battle because compared to the diesels they are quiet.
A 5km tank kill shot? Wow.
How much damage did you do?
Their eardrums might be damaged
Yes
Great report on that Beast! Slava Ukraini
Sad part is there is apparently hundreds of challenger 1’s sitting in… Jordan? I forgot what country had a few hundred Challenger 1’s sitting around that are still really good tanks… and honestly the turrets on Challenger 1 are just hot looking.
But yeah Jordan has 402 of them retired and sitting, too bad they can’t be sold off.
They are an awesome tank!
Ironic , the tank that the Vatnik war commentators have called one of the worst in NATO is now their tankers greatest fear.
Probably the best tank in Ukraine right now, unfortunately it wasn’t massively produced.
So nice to see these comments from someone with experience in different tanks. Soviet tanks are completely outclassed by these.
