    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Legend of Wolfgang The Fast-Food Man During the Cold War Wolfgang Meier became a legend to the BAOR (British Army on the Rhine).He owned a fast-food van and made a living following around British units on exercise. No matter how distant or hidden a unit was Wolfgang managed to find them. Soldiers thought he must have been a Soviet spy but turns out he was just bribing other soldiers with packs of Beer.

    Israeli-Egyptian relations were improving after the withdrawal from the Sinai peninsula. Enough that the US would allow for the sale of Abrams. I agree that Mk.7 never made it to Egypt but Vickers did try.

    I believe the Aluminium Chieftain used a ballasted faux-turret and later an aluminium turret. Various internet sources say the problems occur when using a heavier steel turret. Pretty sure that MBT-80 and Aluminium Chieftain shared the same hull and steel plates were simply welded to various places rather than an alloy chimera.

    Mk.4 had problems with the aluminium hull wearing out. British testing found this out with MBT-80 but the hull was considered a replaceable part. Vickers then quickly partnered with KMW for the Mk.7 for the Egyptians. Challenger 1's layout is a result of being based on the Chieftain. Challenger 2 is similar because Vickers didn't have the time or money to develop a new hull that would have to compete with the Leopard 2 & M1. CR1 was expected to serve alongside CR2 and having a hull that could share equipment and upgrades was seen as preferable. Also Cheaper.

    Mobile Protected Firepower will use 105mm. Developing "Advanced Multipurpose Round (AMP)":
  25. David Moyes
    @alanch90 No gun; the round is just there. Presumably Rheinmetal are suggesting that the turret could be fitted with a 130mm gun. Might interest the Dutch if they are able to re-buy tanks.
