The photo is taken on Ministry of Defence property, not in a public space. Believe it or not, there are rules about what you can and can’t take photos of on military bases, and you need the MoD’s permission to publish them.

Good news everyone!
Now that we know what the mantlet is like in reality, using gaijins excuse of why they can’t use actual documents for classified vehicles we can now make the mantlet thick enough to be comparable to other tanks at the BR since we know it’s empty and therefore won’t be encroaching upon reality.

Yes, challenger 2s in reality do not have barrels or breeches

All challenger 2 are just command tanks
I think this is where they get their hull armour measurements from. Original source

I mean the holes on either side of the turret are empty, do u think it’s to do with holding the gun in place perhaps?
That post was pulled before, frankly until I see a FOIA for it I will consider it to be a breach of the Official Secrets Act and therefore a breach of forum rules.

Well, the guy is still learning
Does that mean any discussion of it isn’t allowed or no posting the picture?
LoL, after looking at that photo one can conclude that the Challenger 2 mantlet armor is going backwards in history
Discussion is still dissemination of potentially classified information so no.
Decided to look to the thread, out of curiosity.
i cant remember the account name but usually military branches have media groups that are authorized to publish content on social websites like instagram.
it may not have been the case but the other photos o glanced at did seem unique enough to sugest it.
i would actually like to know the account name. didnt even know there was anything of sorts on instagram.
yeah im more scared by the sheer amount of bug reports and information around here This is by far the biggest thread dedicated to 1 vehicle
Up to this point we’ve largely been in the clear with minimal incidents.
how many did you count lol
