"The British Army has painted some of its Challenger 2 tanks in a new camouflage scheme that planners hope will help the 62-ton machines hide on city streets. But the government has withheld other, more important enhancements. The tanks' blocky, white, gray and brown scheme is actually a throwback to the Cold War, when British tankers prepared to defend West Berlin from the Soviets. jax Squadron of The Royal Tank Regiment applied the "Berlin Brigade" scheme to at least two Challenger 2s in late August 2017.

I was looking for one yesterday CC – there was one i saw a few years ago that was remarkable. The tank was about a block away and blended right in – you had to look really closely to pick it out. |

Jarrovian Good picture, but still too easy to spot. Probably because that one has the tank front and center, and so close. Dan |
