The British Ministry of Defense is developing an "emergency plan" in the event that Russian troops capture Challenger 2 tanks

In the UK, they seriously fear that those promised to be transferred to Ukraine Tanks Challenger 2 could fall into the hands of the Russian army, after which the Russians will have access to British secrets. According to the Sun, the United Kingdom Department of Defense is urgently developing an "emergency plan" for such an event.

According to the British military, Russian troops will be "desperate" to capture or knock out the Challenger 2 for capture in order to gain access to secret technologies, and most importantly, to the composite armor, the composition of which is still one of the secrets of the tank's developers. To prevent this, the British military is developing an "emergency plan" that provides for the urgent evacuation of tanks from the battlefield if they are damaged.

The worst case scenario is when the tank is destroyed, when the defense lines collapse and the friendly forces retreat

- said an unnamed source in the British Ministry of Defense.

To prevent Challenger 2 tanks from falling into the hands of the Russians, they will not be used in those sectors of the front where there is a prospect of an offensive by Russian troops, and there is also no possibility of evacuating the tank in case of defeat. In addition, the British want to force the Ukrainian military to evacuate tanks from the battlefield under fire. In general, Kyiv has two options: either to keep these tanks deep in the rear, or to launch an evacuation vehicle behind each tank, which will immediately drag it back.

Recall that the UK is transferring 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Kyiv. The delivery should take place "in the coming weeks." Also, the British will train Ukrainian crews to operate this armored vehicle.

To prevent Challenger 2 tanks from falling into the hands of the Russians, they will not be used in those sectors of the front where there is a prospect of an offensive by Russian troops, and there is also no possibility of evacuating the tank in case of defeat.

I understand this place is somewhere near the border with Poland. No closer.

Britain's War Department is developing a 'contingency plan'

The simplest plan is to install a self-liquidator of about 50 kilograms of TNT in each tank and, in which case, remotely press the button.

[dmi.pris1]

If we need the secret of armor, then this will not help. By a piece, or part of the hull, tower, you can determine the composition of the armor, design

And this is the most reliable plan, otherwise their Challengers will one way or another end up in our hands and will be dismantled for the most careful study.

[Azim77]

Quote: LIONnvrsk

The easiest plan

They need to transport tanks on tow trucks without unloading))
As they hit, they immediately went back ..

True, there are no such tow trucks, then tie all the tanks with a chain. So that everything is together, like climbers pulled each other out ..

[Azim77]

Well, seriously, these are reservations that provide a reserve for refusal, if suddenly the mood in the coalition changes or something else ..

[Metallurg_2]

The Germans did exactly that with the Jagdtigers: one charge each for the engine and the breech of the gun.

[Lis_Domino]

a good plan - only be sure to go along with the crew - otherwise they will talk

[Eug]

The personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will definitely figure out how to block this button - otherwise they will suddenly press it when the crew is in the tank ...

[Horon]

Click, immediately after crossing the Polish border.

Yes, click immediately after crossing the border! And the tanks were formally placed, and the Russians did not capture! And then blame everything on zircon, caliber, dagger. And demand grain from the elves for the supply of tanks!

[Bodipancher]

I think when a tank was hit by a rocket, the main thing is to jump out faster. Not up to the button will be. And the risk of accidentally pressing the button is too great. Therefore, the red button of self-destruction will live on in Hollywood films)

Why overload the tank? 50 kilos? I am begging you! Leaving throw a grenade-BK will do everything by itself.

Firstly, in the Odessa region. There must be a tank battalion there. And given the fact that the British SLA is much more advanced, they may well change it. Or in the area of ​​Kyiv. Tank units are also required to be kept there.

And even more reliable, in the territory of England itself. If Russia advances there, then it will be "Sarmat". And he doesn’t care about the secrets of armor. But it's very unlikely...

[Argon]

What is the point of the armor secret if it was knocked out? Funny in one word. Rather, there is a plan to evacuate the tank not for this, but to preserve the advertising image! They evacuated the tank - they can say that the tank itself left the battle. Here's the unkillable one.

It is clear that there is no indestructible equipment, but maybe only his goose will be damaged, and there, in addition to armor, there are probably a lot of interesting things that our experts would like to get to know better.

[blackGRAIL]

You can knock out any tank - in the side or stern projections. The secret of the armor is, first of all, the invulnerability of the frontal projection. And there was no sample of Chobham armor in Russia yet, and its secret is considered undisclosed.

[Hagakure]

No, well, there, of course, is the secret secret of the armor. I believe there is at least Martian iron combined with lunar soil. Or maybe something from the Constellation of the Hounds of the Dogs. A very secret secret. The British voter needs to trust their government.

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

Well, if such a British secret falls into the hands of the Russians, then, as happened recently, Abramovich's property will be seized, he will return the tank to Foggy Albion on his plane, and his property will be unblocked.

[Arbeiternegast]

Send a manager to the border area with Poland to offer the "warriors of light" lam bucks for the surrender of the tank, well, or more! Khkh'ly would suddenly have been seduced, but they would have driven the challenge somewhere into a swamp, without the possibility of pulling it out.

[Amateur]

they will not be used in those sectors of the front where there is a prospect of an offensive by Russian troops, and there is also no possibility of evacuating a tank in case of defeat.

They will probably be used to help the Poles when they begin to annex Lemberg to the Commonwealth.

[rotmistr60]

they will not be used in those sectors of the front where there is a prospect of an offensive by Russian troops,

Well, put them on Bankovaya for safety (Russia does not strike there) and to the delight of dill-mad people who will be photographed against their background and send "faks" towards our country.

[Fedor Rashkin]

Then it is better to leave them in Poland altogether. And shoot at the range
vidos about their victory over the orcs.
In general, they managed to shake off the hemp about the transfer of equipment in order to promote Goltz, but how to send it themselves, they remembered the secrets.

[B-777]

In order not to worry, tanks would be transferred without armor. And everyone would be fine...

FREE, sir !!! And then someone else made fun of this audience by setting a premium for a captured tank. Surely not "Uralvagonzavod"?)) In general, to promise, it will not marry, they will set conditions for the Ukrainians to ensure safety, and then they will refer to the fact that the Ukrainians are not capable of negotiating and will stop their tanks somewhere in Poland.

And one more thing - what the hell is secret in this tractor that the British themselves wanted to gradually write off to zero not so long ago?

[Sergey39]

It is very curious how such an immobilized colossus will be evacuated along the Ukrainian impassability and muddy black soil?

[ser580]

they said so clearly - in those places (where chernozem) evacuation is impossible - they will not use it;)))

[Viktor Sergeev]

They will hit it unambiguously, only now they are not particularly needed, junk about which everything is known.

Russian troops will "desperately seek" to capture or knock out the Challenger 2 for capture in order to gain access to secret technologies, and most importantly, to composite armor, the composition of which is still one of the secrets of the tank's developers.

Well, yes. They will capture, reveal the secret, and neigh over the armor of the tank, released in the last century.

I will help the naglitsy: there will definitely not be our offensive in Greenland in the near future. Great place to store tanks there. And so that it was "we handed them over to Ukraine" - put Ukrainian sentries to guard the Challengers. With Berdans.

[Prisoner]

And how relevant are British secrets in the field of tank building for our manufacturers? And what is so special about this tank, besides shooting accuracy? If there was interest, then it is most likely satisfied long ago. In the Anglo-Saxons, secret documents are scattered in garages, given in laptops for repairs, or even scattered at bus stops. Rather, it is an attempt to give significance to mediocre technology.

[vladcub]

In war, it is not uncommon for a non-buddy to capture a whole or damaged car.
In the Second World War, the Germans had squadrons of Soviet aircraft. They had our T-34/76 tanks, they had Yak 1, MiG3.
We had captured tanks. They made Su.
In Syria, "barmaley" captured2? T-90A, about 25 T-72s, early modifications ("Saransky messenger" told)
During the SVO, we left, in a different state: armored personnel carrier - 80, T-72/08, T-90A, this was on the site.
We took a whole "Caesar", a lot, T-64, of various modifications.
But in general, it would be nice: to prepare material on the captured equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

[Nikolaevich I]

Mdaaa...! "We will give you tanks, but don't use them very much! And they are afraid of dirt, and shells .... and wabche, you never know! Let them just "be"! In connection with this, I recall an old anecdote: "How to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases? Put on a condom, additionally wrap it with electrical tape, you can add barbed wire ... and no (!) Sexual contacts!"

The ship is good! Only he is afraid of water!

[AdAstra]

They are some kind of nervous, we handed them the T-90m and nothing, we don’t worry.

[GREG68]

If the British are so shaking for every tank, then there will be no special military sense from them. And this is good. And I’m sure our soldiers will be able to knock out and capture a tank

[Gory]

Attach a cable to each tank with a beginning in Poland at the back - when knocked out, pull the tank back to the EU

[fa2998]

As far as I know, every Katyusha car had an explosive device to destroy the car in case of danger of capture. I share with the British (and others) for free, you can use it!

[voyaka uh]

The Germans captured the Katyushas in good condition in November 41.
Cars and rockets.
But the system did not interest them, due to low accuracy (large spread of missiles).
And they made the Andryusha rocket launcher.
With large caliber missiles.
6 pieces per tracked conveyor.

[ANB]

. And they made the Andryusha rocket launcher.

Andryusha is also a Soviet MLRS.

. By analogy with the Katyusha, one of its modifications, BM-31-12, was also named. The people called this multiple launch rocket system "Andryusha": many military men joked that the "Katyusha" had a brother.

The Germans had a 6-barreled rocket launcher. He did not have his own name. For some reason, it did not have a big impact on the course of hostilities.

[your1970]

Quote: ANB

"Nebelwerfer" - ours were called "skripun" and "donkey" - for the characteristic sounds of shooting.
And yes, the military were not particularly enthusiastic about Katyusha, I came across in my memoirs that when preparing offensives, they carefully fought for the number of guns per km of the front.

[Skeptic3]

Katyusha had very low accuracy. It made sense in case of massive application over areas and produced rather a psychological effect.

[voyaka uh]

Well, it will get into trophies, so what?
While Russia will be able to organize the production of such armor (if it, in general, will interest someone)
- years will pass.
And besides the armor, there is nothing interesting in the Challenger.

[933454818]

It seems like they set a premium of 5 million rubles for the 1st damaged or captured Leopard-2 or Abrams tank - add the Challenger to this list and it's done - Promise Khokhls half of the award and they themselves will drive this tank where necessary.

[Aleksandr42]

If there was something secret, then they would not have been sent to the outskirts for life.

[Romanenko]

Quote: "after which the Russians will have access to British secrets"
To the secret of the excess mass of the tank, low maneuverability?
What else?

[Two]

And what is there so secret with the current anti-tank missiles penetrating up to 900 millimeters of armor.

[Hitmaster]

ATGM Cornet pierces 1400mm of armor, if anything.

[Hitmaster]

It seems to me that their Chobham armor has long been no secret to our military intelligence, and all these dances with a tambourine are needed only so as not to lose face in front of potential buyers when their Challengers start burning in batches.

[kan123]

To be afraid in the forest, not to go into the mouth. When you delivered the tanks, you already handed them over, they have to worry about much more complex problems - if they have Chernobyl from all cities. All the cities - there are two dozen of them, two warheads, they knock something down - and there is no whole country. Maybe Peycedon will blow up, I don’t know the plans of the General Staff, in the bay - then another wave will roll over Britain - in fact, Peycedon is a decision - bombs with this shit, it’s disgusting, from a moral point of view, and all the s and the British settle by the sea, don’t I know why - they will simply be washed away by a wave. It's more humane. A wave will also reach France - it will be like "you to me, I to you" - a return line in two directions. Peycedons need to be riveted - thrown off fishing schooners and activated - all the same, rockets are already inhumane when the Americans start running there like Japs with children in their arms in Nagasaki, with pieces of leather hanging like tatters. And Peycedon is like an element - everyone will simply drown, there will be no such horror that would not injure pensioners in front of the TV. Just like the typhoon passed. Everyone drowned - a humane death - but for England there will be a bombardment - because if you remove England, make Chernobyl there, at least there will be less stink. Military people need to understand that the frog was cooked slowly, yet it all came to this. What is left is to choose targets - to drown England, a good reason. If this cannot be avoided, then it is necessary to prepare well - so that there would be no country at all - to relocate them to, To Holland - to provide them with barges, we are not some Ukrainian beasts. Humane corridors, for the departure of all the remaining British to Holland - or to the Eur. ed. env. to relocate them - to distribute them over a free hectare - in general, something will have to be decided with these millions of Englishmen - do you know how many a million Englishmen eat in a day? A million loaves of bread. They will have to be taken out to the Far Eastern hectare and there, with luck - the harvest, survived - as they survive today in the Donbass - they should do the same regime, otherwise they all play the jokes of the game. We are talking seriously - we no longer have jokes - I have seen enough of these jokes, at one time, you will not laugh in the circus. And they think that they will do shit like with the Arabs and will continue to live and live, and make good - they will make shit, for attacking the Slavic world. These are not blacks and Arabs for you. Nobody here will play tanks or Brezhnev - everyone has already played enough. Therefore, it is necessary to end the English question with Pacedons, which are riveted like cutlets, and hammered from above, with Satans, which are riveted like sausages - they will not lag behind until the bombs fall on them, and then there will be no one to lag behind us - refugees in boats. What do you want, aggressor?

As I understand it, each Challenger will be guarded by three or four Humvees with special forces, ATGMs and MANPADS, plus a pair of T-72s or T-64s. Well, of course, the evacuation tractor. In short, it will be such a convoy for the sake of one tank ... But in fact, these Challengers will be like a sniper tank, hitting from camouflaged shot positions from 3 km or more.

[Skeptic3]

By the way, an interesting proposal is to make a strike group based on a Western tank.
Of course, I am a complete amateur, but I would suggest that such a group include one Challenger, two Tvards, four Bradleys with troops, one Cheetah and one Bayraktar.
Bayraktar would be responsible for target designation, Challenger for hitting targets at long range, and everyone else would protect him from all types of enemy attacks from the ground and from the air.
