I mean the holes on either side of the turret are empty, do u think it’s to do with holding the gun in place perhaps?

That post was pulled before, frankly until I see a FOIA for it I will consider it to be a breach of the Official Secrets Act and therefore a breach of forum rules.

Fair enough. I am going to delete my own picture too.

I love how they still have to put L plates on :D

Well, the guy is still learning

Does that mean any discussion of it isn’t allowed or no posting the picture?

LoL, after looking at that photo one can conclude that the Challenger 2 mantlet armor is going backwards in history

Discussion is still dissemination of potentially classified information so no.

Decided to look to the thread, out of curiosity.

i cant remember the account name but usually military branches have media groups that are authorized to publish content on social websites like instagram.

it may not have been the case but the other photos o glanced at did seem unique enough to sugest it.

i would actually like to know the account name. didnt even know there was anything of sorts on instagram.

yeah im more scared by the sheer amount of bug reports and information around here This is by far the biggest thread dedicated to 1 vehicle

Up to this point we’ve largely been in the clear with minimal incidents.

how many did you count lol

CR2 manual, and this recent photo. The photo is still reasonably up in the air if someone wants to log a FOIA request with the MOD but given it shows stuff previously withheld I’m guessing it was posted to instagram in error.
