Does The Challenger 2 Tank Deserve Its Poor Reputation? | Ukrainian Soldiers Spill Hard Truth
Is the Challenger 2 really too heavy, underpowered, and prone to getting stuck? Ukrainian tank crews have been pushing these British beasts to the limit, testing them in extreme battlefield conditions. Some experts rank the Challenger 2 behind other Western tanks, but when it comes to crew comfort, it’s in a league of its own—featuring a built-in kettle, storage for rations, and even a toilet.
