10:01Now PlayingThe British Army’s Challenger 3 main battle tank has completed its first live firing trials with crew onboard — a huge step forward in UK armored warfare. In this video, I break down the trial footage released by RBSL, analyze what’s been revealed (and what hasn’t), and share personal insights from my own experience working with Challenger 2.
We’ll explore:
- What happened during the first crewed live firing
- The key upgrades from Challenger 2 to Challenger 3
- Observations from the trial footage — including some strange bore evacuator smoke
- Comparisons to Leopard 2A8 and the M1E3 Abrams
- What this means for the British Army and NATO
- My thoughts as a former Challenger 2 tank mechanic
Drop your thoughts in the comments, especially if you’ve worked with these vehicles.
