Comments by "1IbramGaunt" (@1IbramGaunt) on "The British Challenger 2 Versus The German Leopard 2 | Forces TV" video.
In the meantime as long as we have sufficient support infrastructure of our own to supply what OUR guys and OUR vehicles need we don't NEED to co-operate with other countries to have an effective tank force any more than we do to have a decent overall army, or navy or air force for that matter

As for upgrading the gun, don't need to, UPGRADE THE AMMO; oh change it out for a smoothbore if you can but if it won't fit in the existing turret it's much easier and cheaper to simply make modern ammo that fits the existing gun than making or buying a whole new tank

Paper Champion they're still around and still our rivals and a potential future opponent, on paper at least they're bigger and more powerful than us and at some point some future leader there might try using that advantage. I'm aware of how much time has passed but nothing has in fact changed in terms of Britain and Germany as spheres of influence and military forces on the world stage

Matt we don't have to 'get over' jack shit, tanks are the backbone of armies now just as they have been since 1916 and they will be as long as everyone else has them

AdmiralPicard2010 clearly given, as he said (while showing completely incorrect footage lol but that's by the by) that every other country besides ours not only still has tanks in their own armed forces but are in fact developing new ones we need our own tanks as long as they do theirs

1, that is not a T14 (to quote the British Army 'you mong' lol), 2, the Challenger family have proved themselves in battle whereas the Leopard 2 and T14 have yet to do so, and while yes that was the export 'banana' version the performance of Leopards in Syria hasn't been all that promising

I wouldn't set too much store by this international project tank as every time multiple countries have tried that it's fallen flat on it's face, look up the MBT-70

Whosoever fortunately that IS what they're doing whatever 'Forces TV' says, good for them I say

And don't forget the Challenger 2 has the latest Dorchester armour, something no other MBT in the world has including the Abrams which is still only, 'only' haha using the almost as impenetrable Chobham; until THAT is proved obsolete the rest of the tank isn't
