As an ex Challenger 2 crewman, I'm interested to see how this goes. However the UK wont want any damaged ones getting into the hands of the Russians as the Chobham armour is one of the many advantages that the Challenger 2 has over the T series tanks.
- simplotek 4y agoHonest question: taking in consideration the major busts that are the T14 Armata or the BMPT Terminator programs, would Russia have the know-how in place to do anything with a Challenger?
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoWell they could get finally a proper engine from Challenger. The one on T14 is unreliable PoS.

This is utter nonsense, Russia simply lacks the manufacturing capability to produce such armour. Having access to a sample of British composite armour will not and can not help them at all, except perhaps in developing munitions to reliably penetrate it.
