Challenger 3 MBT - Technical Data and Discussion

Maybe, the first prototype had a much smaller sight in general though

It also has a better hull armour

Do we know anything about what were they hiding in the lower plate some time ago?

No, maybe they need to further show Farnham and Epsom.

Its the same sight I think, just with the armoured shutter in place. The ratio of the muzzle reference sensor & shroud and sight covering look the same. We already know they’re going for as the contract with Thales was already in place before any hulls began conversion.

That guy has no idea what he’s talking about, DM83 hasn’t even been qualified by Germany, its manufacturer and designer.

It’s identical.

yeah that’s some hard bs one of the main differences between DM63 and DM83 would be the massively longer rod wich would be heavily noticeable,

You should call the UK Ministry of Defence and request the dismissal of this officer

Or maybe you should stop taking what he’s saying at face value.

lol? why would you dismiss him for what is most likely a honest mistake or hes most likely been told to read from a script and not question it.

This is just a model. The key point is that CR3 can use DM83
