Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 1)

If Germany get it, its because they cried enough to Gaijin and are so used to getting their own way.
Remember when they were getting Austrian versions of actual French tanks and then the Swedish USH because they stuck the turret on a Jadgpanzer hull.

SK-105 is not French…

Its more French than German, Austrian chassis, build by Steyr (Austrian company) equipped with a French oscillating turret

What’s German about it? The Nation that uses it? Austria is as close to Italy as it is to Germany

Not a French turret either…

Eh, more that rhinmetall designed 130 with compatibility with their 120mm mountings. Like how the L7 was designed to be drop in replaceable into 20pdr mountings. Doesn’t mean the Cent Mk.5 was “designed” for it.
The 130mm demonstrator still required modification from LEP spec anyway.

Cr2 130 argument is over. Open Cr2 thread ‘Cr2 130mm is…’. Mfw:

Ackshually the LEP turret was completely Made by rheinmetall and BAE had to give permissions to let rheinmetall use their Hull aswell as provide with parts in case they broke stuff hence they unified a company into RBSL wich was in order to sell their product as 1 company and both could get revenue out of it but only sights and other stuff like the tea kettle was kept the turret had to be Made from zero, but based in the normal Challenger 2 design. The exact motive for the creation of RBSL was because BAE sold 55% of share to Rheinmetall in order to create joint projects like the LEP
