This is the Tank that got hit with 14 RPG rockets and an ATG missile .
Yes that’s right and in one incident around 70 RPGs were launched against it and survived.
well it’s all because of this Top Secret Dorchester or Chobham armor built with possibly multiple space layers of steel and plastic.
We will also be looking at the Fire and Control System of this tank! using this Stationary joystick to track and fire with this trigger, hidden just below the controls.
Interestingly this tank requires 3 parts of Ammunition loading process ! to fire this rifle gun and most importantly the basic process of driving this tank! all in the videos ahead, so don't miss a beat !

Imortant Notes from our Audience The Community is great here.
1) "Qasim Mir"
It’s important to note regarding driving is that the steering is geared. Meaning with each gear there is a different turn radius, so if you want to do a tight turn you must change down a few gears to be able to do it. Another thing is the steering tillers only control where the front of the tank is pointing. Meaning, if going ahead and you want to turn right, you must ‘come right stick’ pulling the right lever, but, if you’re reversing and you want to turn right you must ‘come left stick’ and pull the left lever.
It would be good to touch on the tank’s suspension. Unlike other NATO tanks using torsion bars, Challenger 2 uses hydro pneumatic suspension. The British don’t like suspension that is mounted inside the hull on MBTs so you will never find a British tank with torsion bars. Before on Centurion and Chieftain they had Horstmann suspension. Challenger introduced the outside mounted hydro pneumatic which was easy to service but also performs better at springing and dampening than torsion bar.
2) "Qasim Mir"
The firing procedure for a Challenger 2 engagement is as follows (as far as I know):
Commander or gunner will acquire the the target: ‘A fin, a tank!’
(‘Fin’ means APFSDS)
Operator will load the the relevant round
Gunner when he’s brought to target by the commander and adjusted aim will shout: ‘ON!’ or ‘ARMED!’ Idk😳
Operator will report: ‘LOADED!’
Gunner will fire: ‘Firing!’💥
When the round hits, gunner will say: ‘Target!’
If the commander is satisfied with the damage he will reply: ‘Target stopped!’
End of engagement.
Hello, when will Turkish subtitles come to your videos. Because there is no Turkish subtitles even in the automatic translation section.
Thank you for sharing my information.
I LOVE IT THIS ARMOR IS STILL CLASSIFIED AND THIS VIDEO IS BULLSHIT IVE SEEN A BROKEN ABRAMS TANK SKIRT And holy SHIT Chalanger is a slow shooter I could load off a round on an Abrams less than a round every 3 seconds
Please also do one content for the South Korean K2 Black Panther. Thanks!
Short correction here:
1. Challenger 1 still used the same Horstmann Suspension as Chieftain.
2. The shown weight of the different MBT´s and especcially Challenger 2 are false.
Challenger 2 without TES (Theater Entry Standard armor addons) weights in 62.5 metric tons, with TES it weights 75-76 metric tons.
Leopard 2A7V and M1A2 SEP.V3 weight in at about 66 metric tons.
3. The L30A1 rifled 120mm L/55 gun is exclusively used by the Challenger 2 (L11 rifled 120mm L/55 gun is the predecessor on Challenger 1 and Chieftain). No other NATO partner uses this gun.
Leopard 2, M1 Abrams and Ariete use variants of the RH120 smoothbore 120x570mm L/44 or L/55 gun, Leclerc uses the GIAT CN-26/52 gun, a 120x570mm smoothbore gun with 52 caliber lengths.
4. The Enforcer RWS is not regularly mounted on Challenger 2, even in TES configuration. This was added for the "Street Warrior" upgrade for urban combat. Only one Squadron was fitted out like this.
5. Black Knight, aswell as the other LEP Prototypes were in the end not procured and canceled.
The described Challenger 2 would not be used in reality, the regular Challenger 2 does not feature a RWS nor an APS system.
6. The Incident where a Challenger 2 was hit by a Milan ATGM, the Milan used was a Milan 1 ATGM from 1972, wich was sold to Irak in 1982-83 by france.
The Milan 1 ATGM had a single HEAT Warhead with about 350mm RHAe Penetration. This was indicently less penetration capability than the RPG-7WN and RPG-7WR used by iraki forces (wich had about 500-700mm RHAe penetration)
This is btw not an example of exceptional survivability.
If you throw a waterballoon at someone and another one filled with solid ice at another person, you wouldnt say that the person hit with the normal waterballoon is exceptionally tough because he can take the hit.
CR2 is a late 1980´s design with armor thickness representing that. 350mm HEAT Penetration wont penetrate the frontal armor and would likely struggle with the side armor too.
Similarly the RPG´s have 500-600mm penetration, that wont do much to the front, at the side this would also be likely not enough to penetrate. This would be also the case for Leopard 2A5 and later versions aswell as M1A2 Abrams versions.
Other, more modern ATGM and RPG´s, like 9K135 Kornet ATGM with estimated 1200mm Tandem HEAT Warhead would seriously threaten Challenger 2, as it did with Leopard 2 and M1.
7. one also has to mention that the steering tiller system is quite outdated and anachronistic on a vehicle that entered service in 1998, while basicly all other NATO MBT´s from 1978 onwards used steeringwheels and more user friendly controls.
8. in comparison to other NATO MBT´s the Engine of CR2 is quite underpowered and both offroad and on road topspeed of CR2 is about 10-15km/h slower than the competition in both areas.
9. Major Con: Neither Ammunition nor Spareparts are in production for the last 10+ years, the Vehicle itself has basicly no export and is out of production since 2006.
This turns the Cr2 into a logistical trap
You miss the most imprtant part, the very core and soul of this tank and all british tanks, the tactical tea maker.
That tea reference is so hackneyed
Chally of the woods approves.
The tactical tea maker was in the Challenger 1. The Challenger 2 has a boil water unit that can do more than make tea but is mostly just used for tea
As an English man I would be offended if it didnt have one
@@davidbridge5652 I can tea bag you if you want?.....
One of the few channels which actually point out its 3 part ammo....Well done.
Thank You

HAS to have good suspension or the crew might spill their cuppa!

Indeed. Tea is vital for victory.☕️
Great read. My dad spent his career transporting challengers and other vehicles nice to have a good insight into it all.
I always wondered how challenger was different from abrams you hear all the time about abrams blow out panel or how it drives. These vids are great very informative and gets straight to the point of how the tanks works that can’t get from a google search easily. I look forward to all the future vids.

Can't get from a Google search easily? Lol
still a coward in ukraine 😂😂
ora hai capito perchè gli abrams bruciano che è una meraviglia?
Wow! What an amazing machine. Excellent video.
Thanks for the comment
Amazing what engineers can achieve when it comes to weaponry 💥
yes
Imagine if engineers were hired to build space ships that ran on rocket-less propulsion. It's already been done.
@@Aitelly 2:20 The Soviets made their bridge capacity 45 tons so that when western tanks passed, the bridge would immediately collapse
So basically, they designed this tank all in defend stat, the attack is based on the elite crews from British
A positive you failed to mention is the suspension that allows better cross country performance than its competitors even with higher power engines. Coupled with easier repair to the external suspension units when damaged in combat, whereas battle damaged welded torsion bars in the Leopards and Abrams require back to base, torsion bar torch-cutting, disassembly, removal and repair.
The Mk 4 was not just the first British Tank, it was the first Tank anywhere.
To keep them secret before they were first used in World War One they were described as "Mobile Water Tanks", or just "Tanks". The name stuck. 😃

During the battle, dear boy
This video is extremely helpful for someone that wants to 3D model a game ready tank with an Interior and physicalized damage. Thanks for this video.
First Challenger was destroyed today
Challenger 2 is lovely and is the most beautiful MBT in the world
Indeed she is.
Да , красивый...Только поэтому на него и соблазнилась одна страна в мире , кроме Англии.
After the Leopard she's definitely one of the most beautiful.
the up armoured variant you show is actually pushing 85 tonnes
no it isn't, the full TES version is 72 tonnes
Stumbled upon the video. Now hooked. Excellent work!
Awesome of you thanks 🙏
In reality, in Ukraine they are kept at the behind the lines on demand of the British, the front is "not safe enough" I wonder what's the point for sending them.
Now we know why.
@zz_mike-hawk_zz True challenger ii lost undefeated in Ukraine against a powerful atgm, only the Abraham m1a2 remains to be seen in action and performance.
@@overdrivelzma.9219 I have made a video about it, it you want to check it out.
Send them back then, talk about biting the hand that feeds you
and that the reason for Merkava 4 b the best tank in the world. The Merakava's Marching to the battlefield, and know how came back home safely
Challenger 2 just came out on top of a recent NATO exercise beating Leopards and Abrams etc
Yes this was really impressive, I wonder how great the Challenger 3 will turn out to be if they did this well with the Chally 2.
Why is nobody mentioning the french Leclerc here?
In the real war with a regular and competent army challenger lost undefeated in Ukraine by the employment of a laser guide ATGM.
Chobham armour = developed by DERA ( Defence Evaluation Research Agency) British army department in a village called Chobham in Surrey south east of England.
I lived there for 15 years.
They call "Chobham" most composite NERA armour variants, including non-British. Actually, part of Challenger2 armor plating and APS - made in Israel.
I'm glad you're talking about the Challenger 2 here and not the "Challenger 3". The UK government isn't fooling anyone that what is merely upgrade suite is a new tank.
Well it’s an entirely new turret, gun, firing system, self defence system, new armour and new engine. So i would hardly call it a light upgrade. It will do nicely and certainly better than anything potential foes have. Just need more of them
The only thing the same between the II and III is the chassis. The gun is switching to smoothbore.
@@1maico1 Even then it's been changed, the lower Glacis has been up armoured on a chassis level not just add-on, the tank uses 3rd Gen Chobham called Farnham and has add-on armour like the Challenger 2 TES had called EPSOM which is upgraded from current standards (This is how we'd send tanks into battle with the add-on armour) So the Chassis has had a lot of work done, not forgetting APS has been confirmed, specifically Trophy.
Love this video! Great detail and information. Can’t wait to see if you have videos on other MBTs after I finish this!
I am very happy to see that your video quality is developing. Hope you get more subscribers soon . ❤ from 🇮🇳.
Thanks Better Video as we try to recruit more people
really useful. I am about to break into an armored division's HQ and steal a tank and this is going to be helpful. appreciate the info!
thanks
Can you grab me one while you're there?
I am Russian, and I can barely speak English. Much less be polite. First of all, thank you very much.
1. The coaxial chain gun looks much simpler, single barrel. It has features important for a close tank.
2. English tanks are one of the narrowest today. Even in comparison with the Soviet ones. The thing about railroad overpasses. Some decisions of this tank have to do with the width.
3. The hydraulic automatic transmission does not disengage the clutch, but reduces the power of one of the tracks.
4. The Challenger can still fire at a large downward lean angle, which increases its heavy turret. It has relatively high ground clearance, a smooth bottom, and mine protection. This, too, increases the height.
5. The suspension of this tank is unusual: compact and adjustable (located on sides, not on the bottom, which reduces the height of the tank). That is why the tank can withstand unprecedented overloading of the hinged protection.
6. The inclined multilayer armor barrier refracts (as in optics) the shock front of the penetrator many times. This leads to its defocusing (as in optics). In practice it looks like the penetrator is crumbled, by dissipating the energy to fluctuate the layers.
@
Ernest Awesome point of view
@@Aitelly I was trying to present facts, not opinions. There are too many opinions around.
Point 5 the suspension system has inspired the new South Korean tanks and it will become more prevalent.
Point 4 British tank designers have long valued being able to have a large depression angle, this has proved extremely valuable to them in many conflicts eg Korea and to the Israeli’s where the Syrian forces were at a significant disadvantage.
"I can barely speak English" delivers a seminar of information on the tank concisely.
Please never learn English properly, you will make us look bad.
My previous favorite was the L2 A7, but I would take this anyday.
Such a good tank. One of the best you can have
the challenger 2 just won a NATO tank competition last week. leopard came 2nd and abrams 3rd
still a coward in ukraine 😂😂
@@zulfanirich7594 no need to use the good tanks yet. any old tank will do against poor wee russia and their egg cartons🤣🤣🤣
@chrisyoung9653 Already tested it against a professional army, Challenger lost the undefeated were 2 units lost out of 10, I don't think UK will give him more units.
@@overdrivelzma.9219 no they were only given so Germany would send leopard 2s. Worked great
@chrisyoung9653 It only remains the Abraham M1A2 to make their combat debut in Europe and see if they better withstand a high intensity war, I think France will never send its Leclercs.
The combat weight of the Challenger is is actually 75 metric tonnes. The training weight of the tank is the standard 63 tonnes. For comparison, the combat weight of the M1A2 Abrams with TUSK is 68 metric tonnes.
I wish I discovered this channel earlier. Every time there is a country show I never get to go in the challenger because the queue is too long. So it is nice to know how the internals, and periscope work etc
This channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks 👍
U plannin on stealing a tank?
@@loadapish 😊
Thanks! I've been having trouble firing my Challenger tank
Fantastic! Have just discovered AiTelly channel. It's absolutely great, with so much interesting and informative engineering and technical detail. But - vitally - you explain everything clearly for mechanical thickos like me.
My favourite tank,beautiful
Beautifully animated 🔥
So, we have absolutely no idea what its Dorchester armour comprises off. The only reference we have is we know what Burlington arrays No.1 to 4 looked like, which were in fact bulging plate technology using plastic and steel. However, that technology was patented in 1962 and Dorchester is a much newer and advanced development from the Burlington arrays and like how the Germans dropped the bulging plate armour design in their B-Tech armours and started using ceramics in newer armours in C-Tech and the US went with using depleted Uranium in some way with is HAP and NGAP armour over the bulging plate armours in its early BRL armours, it's likely Dorchester has moved onto incorporating more advanced material arrays. However, despite what most people say, there is absolutely no available information that gives us an idea of what Dorchester is made off.
I'd be lying to say it didn't bug me to see the composite armour animated right in the front within the 100mm steel plate armour but I know its just for education purposes.
Remarkable work. Excellent!
Thanks 👍
Amazing animations! Very informative! If you guys don't mind leaving references to the litarature on which you are basing your work, that would be fantatistic!
Wow thanks another excellent video..... 👍 Mark from UK..... The home of the challenger 2
Your videos never fail to amaze me
Thanks 👍
no idea how youtube got this suggestion right! it only took 15 or so years for their algorithm lord to figure out what i want to watch !LOL great channel , ill probably watch all your videos in a week!
to know how it work you just have to ask on war thunder forums and wait until someone give you classified document
Underrated comment.
Dont forget the brew making facilities 🍵 😭 lol 😂
☕
Great video, fantastic animation, top notch narrative.
Mistake on 1:54. T-72 is a russian tank (T-90 prototype) which is produced on Urals manufactories and is presented in a very small amount in the ua forces, while the main ukrainian army tank is T-64 made in Kharkov.
T 90M Provy3 vs T 84 Oplot.
This encounter will never happen Ukraine does not send its oplot to the front only owns 10 units.
The upgrades you mentioned will be on Challenger 3, Dorchester armour, 1500hp engine, Triumph protection system, better third gen optics and the new Rhine metal 120mm smooth bore gun.
Great work as always! Dang, that tank is a beast! Watching your videos,I'm gaining a bit of knowledge, you know what they say about that.
Things I learned today: the Brits basically have to put some sort of a rifle clip to ignite the Challenger 2´s main gun 😄
Yeah looking forward for the T-90M animation 👌
🙏 thanks 👍
And the Leclerc tank animation too 👍
Amazing to think that the Chally's main gun shares, in effect, a 3 component ammo system with the likes of a rifled musket in the American Civil War some 130 years earlier with the latter's ammo consisting of a cartridge with powder, a Minie ball and a percussion cap.
@@DH.2016 ...the reality is though its no slower than single piece tank ammo.
Thank you to the channel, interesting information) Thank you to Great Britain for helping in the fight against aggression!
"....the Mark IV. The first battle-tested tank made by British engineers......". In fact the first tank made by anyone anywhere. Called a "tank" because that was the code word for it while under development and the name stuck.
Spot on… The tank was originally named land ship by British Military in WW1. The name "tank" was initially a code name to maintain secrecy and disguise its true purpose by making it appear to be a water transport vehicle for bringing water to the troops at the front line.
Extra Facts:
Challenger 2 (CR2) tank can also set a smoke screen by the injection of diesel fuel into the engine exhausts.
The secret weapon of any British Armoured Vehicle BV. A boiling vessel (BV) is a water heating system fitted to British armoured fighting vehicles that permits the crew to heat water and cook food by drawing power from the vehicle electrical supply. It is often referred to by crewmembers as "the most important piece of equipment in a British armoured vehicle".
Next level video. Good job!
Could be worth to mention that one of the cons is the rifling of the gun, which slows down the sabbot rounds (so less penetration power) but are neccesary for HESH rounds which are less effective because of explosive reactive armor. I think they are considering going smooth bore for their next challenger version.
Great video,thank you.
Welcome

Im obsessed to your channel.
we love you Guys so much.
Thanks!
Well done, for sure.
6:35 The Challenger 2's Chobham armor is much thicker. The weld on the side is the outermost steel plate covering the chobham armor.
The chobham armoured challenger ii variant was sent to Ukraine or it was an old version destroyed by the 0rcs russians...
If memory serves me correctly, the safety switch on the GCP does not isolate the firing circuit it only isolates the Gun Control Equipment ie. turret movement, same for the Commanders Safety switch. The Loaders Control Panel Safety switch does however isolate the Firing Circuit and the GCE.
It runs on TEA 😂
great job bro👌 thank you 👍
Always Welcome
What a great video you have done here very easy how you explain information in this video great video graphics love it.
Just to let you know, not long ago, the USA wanted this classified armour for the USA tank's so both the uk and us did a deal to share the technology as the uk got some technology on the us submarine technology so ONLY the USA and UK are the only tank's to have this armour.
Thanks for the support and Feedback notes
you are writing absolute nonsense.firstly, the world's first tank with composite armor was built in the USSR, the T-64.Secondly, the spaced armor in the forehead of the tower of several dozen armor plates with air gaskets and other materials is not a privilege of the USA and England.This has been done on the T-90 in Russia since the 90s
@@user-dl3nc4jx7k He didn't say "spaced" armour or "composite" armour. He was referring to Chobham armour specifically, which was used on the Challenger 1 and shared with the US for the M1A1. Dorchester is the upgraded Chobham variant on CH2, while the Americans developed their own variant for the M1A2.
Another detail, with a full system the gunner does not correct for wind and elevation. Elevation is calculated at the point of lasing and acquiring the range to the target. Windage is calculated via data from the MET sensor mounted on top of the turret. Only when all systems have failed does the gunner have to resort to manual correction. Great video though, brought back memories. 👍
Nice video! Thanks!
Always welcome
Additional pro: you can make tea inside the tank
Your channel is great
Correction: The first tank to ever go into action wasn’t the Mark IV but the Mark I on 15 September 1916 on the Somme.
MARK 4 was the first battletested tank meaning .it destroyed two German A7V tanks
Good job guys, please Leclerc tank !

What is the maximum firing rate (rounds per minute) of the main gun? How much pressure do the tracks exert on the ground? How do these parameters compare to other main battle tanks?
8 rounds in 42 seconds I think is the record.

Mostly accurate. Not bad

What is the true firing procedure for Challenger 2 and the phrasing?
@@qasimmir7117 You've added a lot of variables, will attempt to clarify on certain things.
"Commander or gunner will acquire the target: 'A fin, a tank!'"
I don't know why you added the "A" to both of those. The easiest way to think about it is as; once the target is identified, an ammo nature is announced, followed by the target. Example is: Fin tank
HESH BMP
COAX Men.
I'm on my phone so ill do each part individually
Very good technical animation
Being a loader in a tank crew sucks. So you don't have any special features, all you have to do is load the right ammo quickly. When your tank is in battle, you are the most important member of the crew, but unfortunately you are never remembered.
In my country's war 60 years ago, a T-34 crossed incredibly steep mountains and got behind our opponent and cornered him. Members of the tank crew were declared heroes, but the presence of the crew member who served as a loader was not mentioned in the monument built for them. If it weren't for him, the tank wouldn't even be able to fire, but it was forgotten.
Likewise, this is happening not only in us, but all over the world. I heard that crew members operating Abrams tanks in the Middle East were fighting each other to avoid taking the Loader role.
Dorchester armour refers to the reactive armour package that’s added on, chopham armour is the built in armour
That's very very informative
Thanks 🙏👍

Im pretty sure the only variation of the challenger 2 with active defensive measures was the black night, which has never seen service (lost to the challanger 3 in a competition for the continuation of the challenger tanks)
