Chieftain Mark 2

The Chieftain Mark 2 was a British main battle tank introduced in the 1960s as an upgrade to the earlier Chieftain design. It featured improved armor, firepower, and suspension systems, enhancing its durability and combat effectiveness. Equipped with a powerful 120mm gun and advanced targeting systems, the Mark 2 was designed for modern armored warfare, providing better protection for crew and increased ability to engage enemy tanks and fortifications. It served as a key component of Britain's land forces during the Cold War until it was eventually replaced by more advanced tank models.
