History

Serving as the British Army's principal Battle Tank from the late 1960s to the 1990s, the Chieftain was designed to counter the latest Soviet heavy armour, with its firepower being a top priority. It was equipped with a powerful and highly precise 120mm gun, allowing British crews to achieve impressive first-hit accuracy during training exercises. Fortunately, this Cold War guardian never had to use its main weapon in combat.
