Guys it's over
Russia managed to take down one (1x) Challenger 2. (After it broke down, was forced to be abandoned and one of the crew dropped a Molotov down the open hatch to prevent capture).
NATO is finished.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 1. The T-90 uses a modification of the Khakiv model V2, which was first used in the BT-8, a prototype tank before being adapted into the BT-7M, which the Soviets produced in the hundreds.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 2. I don't, you're confusing the BT-2 and early BT-7's with the BT-7M

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 3. This was incorrect and I admitted so and removed that part from the video.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 4 & 5: It was wrong of my to imply to engine was from the Porche Tiger however this whole thing is heavily nuanced, I've continued to do more research on this and ran into a solid wall of fuck. I'll make a video explaining everything once I have concluded it all

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 6: This was proven by UA hackers and leaked by one of the manufacturers.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 7. This has not been proven untrue, interestingly RedEffect uses a /really/ bad source to prove otherwise which I forgot to mention in my response video because I'm an idiot.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 8: I did not say that, I was referring to the T-15

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 9: certain varients of the BMP do use the V-2 engine, especially the earlier ones. These have been discovered still in front-line service.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 10. The documentation of the Amarta claims it has a rear-mounted camera and a visual inspection seems to confirm this, but images of the crew compartment show no screens in front of the driver in spite of proclaiming there are supposed to be three screens there.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 11: I did not say this.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 12: I did not say this.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 13: I did not say this

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 14: I did not say this

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 15: I used the Challenger 2 as an example due it being Reddits favorite modern western tank to dump on.
I gave examples of things Britain could do in both the long and short term if the "Good enough" philosophy of the Chally was ever challenged.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 16: They are.
Except in the case of certain kinds of modern ammunition such as Fin Stabilised Discarding Shell rounds.
Ukranian tank crews of the Chally 2 have remarked at the tanks accuracy.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 17: the KF-51 does exist granted as a Technical demonstration, I used it as an example of the direction western tank design was heading in

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 18: I showed the system in operation. They are modular panels that help screen things from thermal and IR optics which are typically things used to help you see in the dark being that the MK1 Eyeball is famously bad at seeing things in the dark.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 19: I did not state nor imply this.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 20: I did not state this

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 21: I did not say this

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 22: Digging trench lines (note Trench LINES not trenches) typically means something has gone wrong.

@Jeff21461 @strichtarn @EstViridi @Horsed00d00 23: Actually it's worse. The Thermals didn't work when the turret spins though they have now claimed to have fixed this.
