- Chieftain Tank
Chieftain tank being put through it’s paces at the Bovington Tank Museum’s Kuwait Arena during the Tanks in Action display.
The Chieftain tank was the British Army’s main battle tank during the cold war. It was in service from 1967 until 1995 and was used during the Gulf War. When introduced it had the most powerful main gun and effective amour of any tank produced.
The Bovington Tank Museum houses one of the largest collections of tanks and armoured vehicles in the world. There are over 300 tanks and armoured vehicles on display telling the story of the tank from its origins, through the First and Second World Wars up to the modern day.
The Museum runs special events throughout the year including live Tank Action Displays in the Museum’s arena during school holidays and some dates in September. The display includes a number of tanks and informative narration.
Facilities
The museum offers excellent parking. The display halls are light, modern and spacious, offering free access for wheelchair users around the exhibits. The museum also has a very good restaurant and café area. Activities and living-history events are also offered for children at certain times of the year.
The Tank Museum is located in Linsay Rd, Bovington, Dorset BH20 6JG.

My dad was a tank commander, and loved playing in these as a boy
Me too
A beautiful piece of British military machinery 🇬🇧🇬🇧
A real battle cat! When i was i child, it was always amazing watching them heading to the training area.
Nice video host, despite being no longer in the military service anymore. I think in my greatest opinion the Chieftain main battle tank is still very accurate and the most potent battle armor in the modern day warfare.
Could sit an listen to a Chiefy scream for hours! how I loved skiving around Hohne, not enough L60 in this video, not MrFords fault the commentary interrupted! :-) Very nice upload.
Awesome
doing homework on this tank
.
Unreliable? Sure. But damn if it is a wonderfull tank to look at.
Early marks yes,mk10 and 11 reliability was very good
And as a 70-80s design it still looked very modern just like a 3rd gen MBT
@@LJChannn334The design process on these tanks began in the late fifties! Entered service in 1966.
l realy prefer my country has these instead m48,m60,leo1
The Chieftain has been out of service for around 30 years now.
Perfect choice. 👍👍
And it looks more badass!
Come on bring back 100
Chieftain tanks.
1000 scimitar light recon tank
Scorpions light recon tank
1000.
Warrior APC 1000
Saracens APC 1000 better than Landover snatch vehicles
.this tank its stay service in Jordanian Army but this Tank very old
500 in Ukraine and just imagine what a diffrence they would make.
There are 400, give or take (Britain GAVE Oman 400, not sold, not part ex for oil, nothing like that, they simply handed over 400 free tanks in the late 80s), Challenger 1s going spare because the Omani government want Leo 2s now. Whether they're paying for them or getting another freebie I don't know.
Anyone know which Mk this one is?
This tank is visualy like Mk.5 with added armor to front of turret and this called Mk10.
which chieftain is this
Joshua Ngau Ajang It's the Mk 11
This is not a TOGS Chieftain as it still has the searchlight Former Tiffy Optronics
Correct John. Stillbrew but no TOGS.
And what year was the mk 11 made
@@coolcatzsavesthekid8263 1984/5?

The L60 screams always for more HP.With a more powerful and reliable engine from Germany or the US it would have been a real outstanding tank.
Absolutely agree, the pack was an unmitigated disaster.
It was upgraded continually and was pretty reliable in latter years. Loved the sound, never
It was based on a German engine...
Your go...
☹🇬🇧
@@glennmoreland6457 perhaps no good idea to put a design for aircraft in a tank and a ww2 design was certainly outdated in the cold war era.Mercedes-Benz(Leopard1) or Continental(M60) would have made the Chieftain a formidable and reliable Tank.
@@glennmoreland6457 No , it wasn't related to any Junkers engines. That's an urban legend.
Ear plugs anyone
wd40 anyone?
No.
The turret ring is too exposed, a well placed shot blows the entire vehicle.
You cant even see the turret ring, what you are looking at is the stillbrew composite armour that it was upgraded with.
Oooops!🤦♂️
Only problem with this tank was its engine
Yeah, it was successful because it never saw combat. Good thing for the British troops because I read that the 2 stroke opposed piston diesel engine was unreliable with a 90% breakdown rate. They would have been sitting ducks on the battlefield.
It saw combat in Iran and Iraq, the iran/iraq war. Quite successful apparently.
It had a 90% breakdown rate upon initial trial and service,it was modified and changed over it's life and became acceptable,always a little underpowered but it was mated to a great transmission.
Proably more like a 30/40% breakdown from my recolection . Still not very good though
The tank was a victim of pure NATO bureaucracy. NATO demanded that all future mbts had to be fitted with multifuel engines, which led to chieftain being lumbered with that turd L60 engine. Funny how that NATO requirement didn't apply to the M60 or the leopard 1. Had the chieftain had a conventional diesel engine it would have likely been far more reliable, and considerably more powerful. The US and Germany couldn't allow that since it would severely hamper sales of their own tanks.
The tank was designed and built around specifications provided by the Imperial Iranian Army. They saw lots of action in Iran and Iraq war and there not much of talk about reliability then. Today, they are being fully overhauled and modernized by Iran. Many of the damaged units are now being repaired, rebuilt and refitted for active duty! First time I climbed on and sat in one (I was 9) was just before the Iran/Iraq war at the HQ of 92nd regiment. What a beast!
This noob lie! 99 of 100 on first shot hit enemy tank on 3km. hahaha. I have seen on TV exercise in 90s with Challenger1 only 7 of 10 hits!! And Challenger is better tank. The commander spat as well as they fired! Failed on long distance 1,5km+
