The turret of a modernized British Challenger 2 tank will be blown off after being hit by a Russian Kornet ATGM

In the UK, the Challenger 2 tank has been modernized - now it will tear off the turret after the first missile strike.

The modernized version of the British Challenger 2 heavy tank turned out to be completely impractical for warfare. Despite its powerful appearance, the tank was found to have a "defect" that would allow it to win the "tower throwing competition" after the first hit by a Russian anti-tank missile.

Despite tens of tons of weight, the British Challenger 2 tank turned out to be quite vulnerable to any enemy attacks, and given the fact that it is a NATO tank, experts note that it will not have a single chance to withstand Russian anti-tank weapons - the very first hit in the turret of the tank, it will simply be torn off, and the fault lies in the miscalculation of engineers and designers.

Experts draw attention to the fact that the tower has direct forms from almost all sides, as a result of which a missile entering the tank will simply turn it around and throw it away for several meters. A typical example of this is the Russian Kornet ATGM. In the event of a collision with more serious opponents, like the Russian tanks T-72, T-90 and T-14 Armata, the tower will be torn off and thrown back several tens of meters.

It is not known how formidable the enemy is the British tank itself, since this machine was never able to prove itself in battle, however, experts believe that without sufficient experience, the British designers would hardly have been able to achieve any dizzying success.
