Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A tank can become far more than a weapon system: it can embody decades of doctrine, engineering choices, battlefield experience and national military thinking. For readers interested in modern armour, understanding those connections transforms the Challenger 2 from a familiar silhouette into a much richer story of British armoured warfare.Challenger 2 traces Britain's main battle tank from its late Cold War origins through development, production, operational service, modernization and its deployment to Ukraine. Stephen Rowen examines the tank as a complete fighting system, connecting Dorchester armour, the L30A1 rifled gun, crew layout, sights, mobility, logistics and doctrine to the battlefield conditions for which Challenger 2 was actually designed.The reader follows the Challenger 2 through the competition that secured its place in British service, demanding reliability trials, deployment to Iraq, combat around Basra, successive protection packages, modernization programmes, fleet reductions and the difficult transition toward Challenger 3. Particular attention is given to what documented combat evidence can genuinely tell us about survivability, damage, recovery and operational effectiveness.Inside, readers will discover:How Challenger 2 evolved from Britain's earlier tank programmes, and why the British Army retained distinctive choices such as a rifled 120 mm gun and four-man crew.How the tank actually fights and survives, from fire control and ammunition handling to protection philosophy, crew workload, maintenance and battlefield recovery.What Iraq and Ukraine revealed, including combat damage, survivability evidence, operational adaptation, mines, drones and the challenges of employing a very small high-value fleet.How Challenger 2 leads directly into Challenger 3, revealing which capabilities Britain chose to retain, replace or fundamentally modernize.Written for tank enthusiasts, military-history readers and anyone interested in contemporary land warfare, Challenger 2 offers a detailed but accessible understanding of one of Britain's most important modern fighting vehicles-and of the military system required to keep it effective on the battlefield. …
