"Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line!
That suit of clothes is altogether
But altogether it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen."

Andy McNab presents Chav my Tank.

I think thats an Israeli tank.

Just don't tell wow and clarion or we will never hear the end of it.

Nah, that's not white phosphorus

Zoidburg · « **Reply #18 on:** 30 December, 2009, 10:33:03 pm »

No it really is an Isreali Merkeva tank I think.

I am sad for knowing that.

Don't worry, it's a British Challenger 1!

My caption was going to be "Sam arrives at Court for the big day!" but I decided I couldn't!

You'll be even sadder when you take a closer look and realise it's actually a Chieftan.

Subtle clues:

The stowage bins above the rear drive sprocket and rearmost pair of road wheels.
The gaiter around the gun barrel, just ahead of the distinctive snout of a Chieftan turret.
The commander's cupola.
The side skirts.
The two-tone camo scheme.

For future reference, MBT spotters...

Chieftan sans festive lights
Merkava

Zoidburg · « **Reply #21 on:** 31 December, 2009, 12:12:06 am »

Challenger and the Chieftan are very similar, the Challenger being a Chieftan upgrade that was intended for sale to Iran.

That fell through of course and guess what happened?

I'll give you that!

As long as they had a full BV and were full of friendly tankies I never used to care that much ;-)

Yes it is a Chieftain. The tank is situated at a ranch in Alberta, Canada.

Moar, moar, moar! Comrade.

That essential piece of British army kit, which other nations, to my complete astonishment, do not always fit to their armoured vehicles.
