FV4034 Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank (British Army)

Making a difference?

I think that (almost) every tank with dozer blade could do the same. Those cones are not very big and they are only placed on the ground, not dig down.

Making a difference?

Slow down enough to take a pot shot at. Always have to assume they are more solid than that. Imagine if every third one had a 2m foundation...

Is it suprising though? When did we last order any? Are the buildings being\already demolished at Barrow where they used to make them? Can BAE not source them from Sweden or the States?

Not surprised in the slightest. However I do not believe we should be relying on others for things that would need replacing regularly especially in a war.

Better cancel some F35, Ajax and T26s to pay for spares and ammo then.

That’s exactly what I would do.

Hardly a surprise. Bae ran out of work due to Brown & Blair cancelling all the new Bae AFV programs and proposed closing the last gun barrel shop in the UK. Government said OK, we don't care.

Gordon Brown, the gift that continues to give. And folks in the UK think Starmer would be good for defense. Ha.

[GarethDavies1]

Which gun barrel shop are you referring to? The one in Barrow that made M777?

Is this the gun barrel shop you were referring to still open in 2021.
