hope those are not classified XD

Don’t see why they would be, just cables and plates, nothing like the makeup of the armour.

Y’all… idk about these photos man

Well, if Fireball says they are Cr2, they most likely are.

bro I’m pretty sure you can’t just take pictures of the inside of a tank like that

We will se bout that

you can, the MoD shows them in reports etc. You can also just search up the interior and find some
For example:


You can even see inside a Cr3’s gun:

Sorry if these have already been posted.

The Turret and the UFP are a LOT thicker, the turret almost reminds me of the M1 Thumper

Turret looks cursed. Where are the Aston Martin like curves.

i dont like the gun breach area, looks worse than on the TD

It reminds me of the plans for the mbt 80. And I got to say it does look good, I prefer the sleek look of the challengers but this just makes me think of a 40k land raider. Just makes me want to slap a 155mm howitzer In it.

Is this small device in front of the driver’s window a laser warning system?

Isn’t this without the extra external armour (EPSOM) as it does look like it can accept extra armour not only on the sides but the front of the turret. Which may start to give the chally 3 an xm8 feel. Or even vfm5 with a top heavy turret…… it’s putting cursed thoughts into my head.

I wonder if now that Britain has this, does that mean they where technically the first to adopt a 4th gen MBT and not have the best tank in the world?

Bold of you to state that the chally 2 isn’t already the best tank in the world in this forum……
