It's like the Polish Krab but British. The Poles took a version of the AS-90 turret and put in on a Korean chassis. So good weapons system, not game changing.

They don't produce large tracked vehicles in the UK

Hot take moron, did you lose your parents to a bonging accident?
Remind me how winning exercises is relevent to war performance? Challenger lost most of the competitions it took part in and then went to war and had excellentl reliability and knocked out 300+ tanks without a finger laid on it by the enemy.

Are you fricking stupid the original post said "Lack of tracked anything" not only tanks have tracks you simple c**t.
We don't need to expand anything if you could read you would see your fundamental error.

My original comment said "Pretty sure they have more tracked everything than France and the same as Germany."
You replied with by saying No, then focused only on tanks. To which I called you pedantic and a victim of autism because you cannot fathom tracked includes more than just tanks. Just admit you were wrong it's an annonymous imageboard, sad your keeping going tbh.

You blew it
It's a 1990's 155mm gun. It's better than M109 (the UK retired their M109's for AS90) but not as good as stuff that's newer. It's seen lots of use and will get replaced in a few years with K9 thunder.
You do have to understand to stay relevant in war a country has to either be in threat of one or be in one, constantly.
If you have neither of these, the only thing you can do is race to the bottom in cost and kill your industry, as to stay relevant you have to spend way more money theoretically training than a war would cost. The USSR collapsing basically killed of all political motivation for military RnD since there was no longer an enemy the bongs couldn't just threaten with air, sea and nuke power.
They also allowed the selling off of to many Bong RnD projects for fat (as in wads of) American and Europe money. Being in the EU and having access to cheap Russian gas, allowed Germany to consolidate it's industrial capability.
Without cheap energy, there is no industry.
Hopefully as wind kicks up it's goal to chase cheaper and cheaper projected costs, electrical based heavy industries will re-pop up in the UK and Denmark.
The bongs have had a gap since GW1 outside of small peacekeeping missions, but Ukriane is providing them with data through the people that are training, so they might well be primed to create next generation weapon systems as long as funding is available.
Its a decaying country in every form. I love their copes about how they are secretly powerful and the more they lose the richer because they save money
One of the first SPH built to modern standards with digital gun management, automatic laying, muzzle velocity radar, GPS etc. etc. and the electronics have been upgraded a few times.
Only thing it lacks is a 52 calibre gun to exploit bigger charges for extended range ammunition natures, because it was in service shortly before that propellant technology matured.

Search string "AS-90"
Polish KRAB uses modified turret of AS-90 so if KRAB is working well there should be no reason AS-90 would not.

big gun
goes boom
simple as
Does Britain actually build anything any more or is the economy just a housing market ponzi scheme? Isn't BAE Swedish now?
Yeh we are masters of building seethe amongst the uneducated like yourself
There is no running production line of any British tracked vehicles.
tracked vehicles are outdated
You shouldn't lie on the Internet anon, especially things a two year old could confirm. Cvrt Is still produced
no
>any British tracked vehicles.
CAT and JCB
CATs American JCB is British
CAT have multiple factories in the UK, employs 10,000 people here.
Mostly producing engine and drivetrains (CAT bought Perkins who made the engines for Challenger, Warrior etc.) and small loading vehicles.
They don't produce large tracked vehicles in the UK
? BAE Sweden is a subsidiary. BAE is very much British.
>is the economy just a housing market ponzi scheme
yes, pretty much. we do make military vroomvrooms and bangbangs, though.
You're buying asiaticshit
UK focuses more on Navy/RAF then army being an island, explains the lack of anything tracked
>Lack of tracked anything
Pretty sure they have more tracked everything than France and the same as Germany.
Not really total number of Challenger 2s build is 447 they have 227 operational tanks.Germany currently has 266 Leopard 2s in service.
Abit pedantic don't you think? Do you have autism
I like British vehicles. They have this weird unconventional look about them.
Thanks for that pic, I have many from gulf war 1 but have never seen that image. Have a Challenger stealing a brdm and a aaa gun in return.
>He's not the Gypsy of Kiev, but he is his Yorkshire cousin
I have many such examples of this theif from Yorkshire. Here he is again stealing a Pak40 in yugoslavia.
>Requirement XXX for Bong MBT
>Tailhook must be able to connect with anything.
Also here with a T34
Try again I want to see it
My mistake
Perfidious Anglo-Saxons stealing best tank of WW2 to copy desing.
He strikes again with another Pak40 theft this time posing in jest
What does the UK need all those Pak-40 for?
M O G G E D
That's because brits cant design good military equipment to save their lives
Your country probably uses a British-designed howitzer or mortar
American, actually
What nation are you from
>brits cant design good military equipment to save their lives
>designed a tank that's been deployed in the 100s over decades of service without a single life being lost to enemy fire
Hot take moron, did you lose your parents to a bonging accident?
>designed an MBT in the 80's that lost to a leopard in exercises
Holy moron
>but what about when a prototype lost to fully developed vehicle already in service
Oh god here we go again.
>a prototype
Cope and seethe
>a prototype
Yes.
>cope and seethe
Over what? You being an idiot?

Seeing countries with such a large military and industrial history like Britain switching to asiaticshit is kinda depressing ngl.
Isn't that the US Army insignia on the Centurion?
The white star was used as allied IFF on ground vehicles from 1944, like invasion stripes were used on aircraft

it looks fricking gorgeous
Superior to the M109, gun is a bit outdated, allegedly the fleet is in a sorry state mechanically.
