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

The quote is from after the critical design review, from an article dated 09/02/23, so idk how far “it was the original intention” goes considering CR3 was revealed in mid-2021

HAAIP origial idea was to increase the power of the engine to 1500hp it dated back to the engine naming 8a. 8a failed doing so but became an engine by itself, and 9a took the 1500 part. And it failed again.

I’d love to know where you guys find this stuff, like genuinely, I keep an eye on a couple sites for when they post articles but they’re usually vague and/or copies of MoD/DES press releases

Everything around and wayback machine

Nicho which does a lot of Italian research does a lot of on the ground work, talking with actual people and contacting those that made the vehicles.

Surprising he could do all that when he’s a Italian living in the uk

@Legwolf sorry to say this, but
