With the passage of time, China's military weapons have also been continuously improved in recent years, becoming one of the countries admired by many countries. With the improvement of the economic level, the level of military weapons in various countries has also become more advanced. Of course, Britain's military weapons are also not underestimated by many countries. Britain's military weapons during World War II can also be compared with the United States, so with the advancement of society, today's British military weapons are also constantly improving and becoming more advanced.
Of course, when it comes to Britain, we have to talk about the British challengers. The British "Challenger" is a main battle tank produced by the British Vickers Defence Systems Company, which was officially included in british equipment in 1983, thus replacing the British "Chieftain" tank equipped in the 1960s. Of course, it is a heavier main battle tank, with the Challenger i, II and the latest II e. Of course, its performance is also quite good. The crew and crew were 4 people, the length of the car was 11.56 meters, and the weight of the battle was 62,000 kg. Of course, the most important thing is that its speed can be as high as 56 km / h, and the maximum travel is up to 450 km.
The United Kingdom has always liked military weapons with its own characteristics when developing new military weapons. The general layout of the Challenger tank developed from the fv4030/3 (Iranian Lion 2) tank has similarities with the Chivotan tank, so that the cockpit is in the front of the hull, the combat module is in the middle of the hull, the power capsule is in the rear of the hull, and the hull and turret are all chobbam armor. Of course, the driver's seat is in the center of the front of the body, since it has a single hatch, and the hatch has equipment that can be raised upwards and rotated horizontally forward. The most important thing is that it uses a wide-angle periscope, and it can be replaced by a pilkington pebadger passive night vision periscope at night, which greatly improves its performance. And the cockpit communicates with the battle compartment, so the pilot can enter the battle compartment from the passage and then leave the tank. As we all know, the turret is generally located in the middle of the hull, and due to the limited space, it can only take 3 passengers. Of course, the commander was to the right of the artillery, and the captain was just below the commander.
Of course, the challengers in early production were a little flawed. However, for the Pursuit of Perfection, britain will not let this defect exist, so the united kingdom will find ways to solve these problems. In this regard, the United Kingdom used huge sums of money to purchase advanced technology and materials. As a result, the British improved electronically steered transmissions and even increased fuel reserves and mine-resistant FV4030/1 tanks. Of course, it is certain that challengers are used in warfare. Therefore, in the Gulf War, the performance of the British challengers was admirable, and as a result, the British challengers became the pride of the United Kingdom.
