I was thinking more along the lines of the Ukrainian Challenger 2.

I didn’t find anything either, but there are a lot of photos, and from different angles

The MoD is neither lazy nor calculating

just cheap, though that’s not entirely their fault: the explanation risks running a little to political, though if you want to play a small game try to find years where rumours weren’t swirling of something being scrapped to save costs from the tank fleet, the AH-64s to the Royal Navy.

Warrior and CVR were supposed to be replaced by AJAX something like a decade ago but the entire thing kept hitting problems and delays. There wasn’t really any urgency to replace anything with the end of the Cold War.

I found it by chance, for some reason it was marked as Vickers mk7 on the Russian Wikipedia, I looked closely and remembered what mbt 80 looks like. And I thought that this was an imitation of the weight of the armor on the tower, but on the sides?

yeah i saw that to
It seems to be just a Centurion that was made to look like a Russian tank
maybe as a disguise

Someone called it a Polish modification, I even believed it until I remembered that Poland was in the USSR all through the Cold War

If we can find if it still exists and then we can work out where that photo was taken then we could figure out something about it.

It’s just like the Vickers mk3 (m) in ROMORA. When I saw it, I couldn’t find absolutely any information on Russian websites either.

But thanks to the War Thunder community, which really wants to add it to the game, I was able to know more about this modification

it seems it was used to test millimetre wave radar

We don’t know what it is, but we need it in our tree

But It has incredibly good declination angles. It will be very strong at 7.7/8.0
Even if it’s aluminum

Simple as that.
Or a Strela Car from SA, though I’m reluctant to add more SA vehicles. I think Tracked Rapier with the Mk1E missiles would be best suited.
