Meteor mark 4B Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 The only ones to answer that are those who have actually fought. I was a Cold War Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick garner Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 surely british defence engineering has led the world during the post war period? My personal nomination would be the scorpion tank, being an enormous leap forward in materials and design during the early seventies?

ChasSomT. Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I like the CVR(T+W) series, I 'served' in them, but has anyone got any pictures of aluminium 'armour' that has been struck by any sort of anti-armour round. I remember seeing a graph of aluminium 'armour' resistance, I suppose you would call it, compared to steel armour, but the bottom scale of the graph wasn't thickness, it was weight! :-) Devious, I remember thinking at the time! Has any CVR(T) been'hit' in anger? RPG in Afghanistan maybe? OPSEC taken into consideration, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
