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

I think the side armor is composed of 2 plates, im making a “collage” on illustrator to show it

correct me if i did it wrong, if i did it right we have a base


88, i did a mistake , huh?

To show the second plate clearer

do you have by any chance all other measures?

image
isnt this just showing the eralier mounting method without the backplate?

nah, the backplate is right there, it is the tall thing it goes from the top to the botoom, the block excluding it has 200mm, so does the NERA seen there

I don’t have any for the blocks unfortunately are the back plates thickness !!

umm, i dont think i understand what you meant, can you explain


you sure because it looks just like the 2F/2E with the part where the circle is drawn around being the triangular plate

image
This is the exact same tank, you can see the backplate run across the hull not just that front segment

Well, 2G added the backplate with a the giant block, before they had a separate plates by themselfs
