Aye, what I meant was that in the context of the crew interview, open trenches were the kind of positions that Ukraine was finding it needing tanks to assault. So Challenger’s utility with a HESH round designed to hit fortifications, was limited in that assault role compared to Leopards, Abrams and T-64/72/80s.
There were live reports from Russian Telegrams that the structures at the Sudzha border guard station were being hit with direct fire from tanks. But even though we know CR2s crossed through in to Kursk, there’s nothing implicit that that shows CR2s were the platform being used for that engagement.

Aren’t British two-pounders smoothbore?
Nah, the 2pdr is rifled. I don’t have a picture of, but by the documentation it’s got 12 grooves with a right hand twist. You can occasionally see the rifling drawn on diagrams of the little john adapter.
