- Convoys of Challenger 2 battle tanks and Warrior armoured vehicles hauled by Oshkosh tank transporters for the British Army. This video shows 3 convoys shot from multiple positions.
The Challenger 2 is the Main Battle Tank (MBT) of the British Army and is operated by The King's Royal Hussars, The Queen's Royal Hussars & The Royal Tank Regiment at Tidworth Camp, Wiltshire. The FV 510 Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) transports infantry and provides an armoured fighting capability across the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC).
The Oshkosh 1070F 8x8 is the tractor unit of the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) tasked with pulling Challenger 2s, Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and other heavy vehicles on the 14 wheeled King Trailers seen in the video. These are operated by 19 Tank Transporter Squadron of the Royal Logistics Corps (RLC) at Bulford Camp, and also KBR FTX Logistics Ltd, who are contracted to the Ministry of Defence to provide transport during peacetime.
You will also notice some other vehicles. Following the Challenger 2s is a Challenger Armoured Repair and Recovery Vehicle (CRARRV) of the Royal Electrical & Mechnical Engineers (REME), in case the tanks require recovery. An older Chieftain Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers (AVRE) and a Chieftain Armoured Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) are also seen, which are now retired and only used as training aids.

Can we all take a moment out of our time, to appreciate the effort cobra puts into their videos, and how high quality they are? Absolutely class! Thank you for posting this awesome video and I look forward to seeing more!
😊😊😊 Thank you so much! Definitely the motivator we needed to post some more.
Convoy? Where is it? Only a few tanks there. Read up what a Convoy is.
@@Dibock-gv3gr Not the longest of convoys but according to all dictionaries they are convoys, though probably in short groups primarily for the convenience of other road users. Instead of criticising the use of the word why didn’t you say what word you believe should be used?
What are they doing ? Where does those tanks going? Anyhow, they only destroy Houses and Buildings and when Humans than not at home @@adrianchetwynd1334
Love these military videos, thank you so much 🥰
Road rage anyone? ain’t no Range Rovers arguing or trying to brake test these beasts.
Best comment I've read today.
Or BMW and Audi drivers!!
😂😂😂, right on very well put and accurate.
No crappy Fords trying it either.
I`m a Taxi - Driver that took some caution in squeezing between two vehicles parked on opposite sides of the road I was taking my passenger down. My ( drunk ) passenger shouted at me, " put your foot on it, mate - you can drive a f`ing tank through that gap." I told him that I could drive a tank through any f`ing gap.
I was a challenger 1 and 2 crewman for 6 years , great video brings back good memories, Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Bet you had plenty of fun with the Challys.
@SammySardine correct , loader operator
This used to be my job for 8 years (2000/08) and loved every minute of it.
What made you quit then ?
Haulage?

@@adrianhatton8793what regiment was you? when I joined, we was just swapping over the Challenger 1’s over to the Challenger 2’s.
See a lot of these coming down the M3 to Marchwood on Southampton Water.
Proper looking beasts.
This video is amazing. the appearance of the fighters displays their military equipment. Really classy, we're proud
Thank you for making this video I really appreciate it very appreciated ❤
I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered
Thank you for making this video i really appreciate it very appreciate it ❤
You are so welcome!
I think we the people of the UK want no war with any country, if the governments of any country want war let them go and fight each other in a field .
Been saying this for years and if they had to go there'd be no wars
They only have 30 of them now. Do they go around the block and pass again? Check the number plates.
Different armoured vehicles also.
These Challenger 2's are from the Royal Tank Regiment who are also based at Tidworth Camp.
Thank you! Updated the description.
Thank you for making this video I really appreciate it ❤❤
6 20 great video loved the dashing dragon great work lads best in the world
Absolutely! Dashing Dragon was cool to see. 🐉
It must have been a boring day for the cameraman, ok iam an trucker and an old track driver, the roar of those engines was music to my ears
Thank you for making this video I really appreciate it 😊😊❤
when the army transported the tanks it was described as going out on DRAG and the driver used to get paid extra ration money.
My son drove then ..are they on their way to Wiltshire..
Tanks so much.
Hehe, tank you!
May our forces be ready and able.
the jake brake at 8 minutes sounds amazing
Tell me about it! Loved the sound.
Really expectant to see the convoy 🚛 😁
The army transports its stuff by road ! Brilliant
how elese we going move stuff horseback
LOL
@@mikefawkes5010 ever heard of railways?
With the budget cuts I'm surprised that we have an arm forces left to fight with
Where do you think the £50 billion plus that we spend on defence annually goes then?
Currently the number of active Army regular personnel would not fill the stands of the West Ham stadium (80,000 capacity); the whole Army Reserve plus the Brigade of Gurkhas would not quite fill Elland Road stands. Food for thought!
The UK is still spending more than the 2% for NATO !

Thank you for showing me this
Thank you
Debbie. My Father Drove Heavy Truck's Ww2.. And My Husband Heavy Army Lorries TOO! Yes I Got To Ride Occasionally Too! Brilliant Camera/Photography ! With Heavy Road Traffic And All Different Location Sites !We Don't Normally See Convoys Like 👍 This !
Hey Debbie! Thank you to your father for their tremendous service during the war. Must been fun riding along! 😁 Thanks for your kind words, I am glad you enjoyed all the different angles.
I believe all these Oshkosh tank transporters are on permanent hire by the MOD, yes they are old vehicles, but each and everyone of them are thoroughly maintained. I do know they have had a nut and bolt re-build.
Everything from the engine, chassis, gear box, cab etc has been restored ,and even obsolete parts have been bespoke made for them.
At our expense!
I thought they were Commander tank transporter trucks?
@@GG-hu9dn
Whom else would pay besides the British tax payer ? the trouble is it's getting more expensive because less and less people pay tax!
I guess you mean that with vehicles of this age the permanent lease fee should be terminated because the cost of them has been repayed time and time again ?
@@paulsandford3345 Most went to Jordan along with the our old Challengers - I think there are only 3 Commanders left in Britain.
@@martinwebb3017 , thanks I just looked it up and yes they were replaced in the early 2000s that's my age creeping up on me?🤣👍
the last one is emergency helping against muddy soil stuck
Debbie. They are on the Way To Tidworth! I was Living There!
أصبحت لا أصدق حتى نفسي إلآ ما أنذر لهدفي أمام عيني ليطمئن قلبي المنهك والمعدة الخاوية
Not sure if three vehicles constitutes a convoy
Hardly a convoy! Britain has only 40 working tanks
It will ! British army keep them driving up and down the high ways to confuse the Russian satellites over the numbers in Britain available.
@@walterstoll8043 cardboard tanks decoys 😂
They are transporting military equipment together, so they are a convoy!
Debbie. Cobra Super Videos! Crystal Clear Photography. Just seen Memorial Flypast @ Lancaster Bomber! Turn Right @ Notting Hill Gate -Over My Flat Towards Hendon Over Air Museum To Base!!
Looks likes we are finally focusing on our military
Really?
@@vyggugyf9745 kind of
When I was young, we used to frequently have 32 Hercules transport planes fly over our house, from RAF Lyneham. Now the Hercules have gone along with Lyneham and many other capabilities, far too numerous to list here. When I was in the Royal Navy, we were worried because we `only` had 80,000 personnel and 8,000 Royal Marines. It is laughable what we have left now.
Seemingly recruitment is improving. They have to get rid of Capita who is/was the contracted out recruitment outfit as they are the reason for this. The military has to go back to their own recruitment!@@davericketts9101
AWESOME!
Those rigs are awesome
Right on Cobra..iv got only ten minutes my friend
Love the videos and it's a good but sad sight as its a sign of what's to come, these past 3 weeks I've been seeing 2 chinooks every other day fly over our house in the west midlands in an area I've never known them fly over here before
It’s an every day occurrence. Nothing new. Nothing related to the recent wars
It may be when near army bases but in wednesbury west midlands chinooks flying over every other day is definitely not a regular occurrence prior to last few months never seen one over the Midlands where I am, whereas down chisel beach Dorset whilst fishing I've seen plenty now down there its a regular occurrence, but chinooks flying over me definitely a sign they are transporting a hell of a lot of gear across the country for something
Chinoiserie regularly flies across Wednesfield going to Quuen Elizabeth 2 hospital in Harborne, Birmingham.They fy north over B6 5QE area probably going back.
Sorry Chinooks ! More significant is someone seeing tanks seeing tanksgoing to Marchwood.
Sorry spellchecker. Chinooks fly over B67 5qe, probably going north from QE2 hospital,also go south coming from Wednesfield.
The blacked out minivan following is usually the security escort. I’ve done it a couple of times from Castlemartin to Tidworth
Really? What kit do you have in the minivan?
I did think as much!
@@CobraEmergency sorry to burst everyone’s bubbles, I actually drive these for a living and we don’t have “security escorts”. We just have wide load escort vans.. anything else in the convoy is likely to be the tank crews
Makes me wonder if my Warrior from Bosnia Gornji Vakuf 1993 tour is still going 🤷♂️🤷♂️ that ole girl will be 30 years old now wow 😮 😮😮😮
I live just down the road and often see these Tank movements happen every other week down the A303. Due to these going though Tidworth, I suspect they were heading to the Perham Base or the training areas on Salisbury plain.
Yeah they're pretty regular on the A303 into Tidworth where they're based.
FTX logistics transports the tanks. The 19 tank transporter squadron does this too.
'Course they do. These could have been new delivery from manufacturer. My relative was RTA and he drove these vehicles.
You know its pretty serious when movements like this are in daylight
Not massive Hp those lorries compared to commercial but they are very low geared to handle the hills as there's a hell of weight on those trailers💪
The T64s still going strong 💪 😂
Brilliant come on UK 🇬🇧
If you do join up, Transport is were you want to be . 😊
Transporting what?
Just need to build another 3000 + 2000 reserves and the British Army might stand a chance + air cover and anti-drone countermeasures.
That was worth watching, thanks. Its the first time I have ever noticed that some of the tank transporters are on civilian licence plates and others are on military ones. Does anyone know why that is ?
The civilian company, KBR FTX Logistics, are contracted to operate them for general logistic movements during peacetime and thus display civilian plates. Whereas during hostile situations or exercises, 19 Tank Transporter Squadron operate them on MoD plates. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@CobraEmergency Thanks, I was not aware of that 👍
@@Pesmog Happy to inform!
great clear video
Thanks!
Going for training as no armour package is fitted.
Poetry in motion, can't see a milkfloat truck coming close.
В моих ушах звучат🥁войны.
9:58 look at the chain-work hook up it takes to hold down that tank Cobra..gotta be 80 ton on there..Heavy.
64 - 75t depending on what extra modules and armour they have on!
I like those big trucks, who builds those? People forget that buying all the fighting vehicles doesn't stop there, you need transport like these for each one I'm guessing, then there is all the other bits of kit needed, I can imagine a large amount of the budget given to buy these fighting vehicles is spent on stuff like this, stuff that's essential, it would be interesting to see a breakdown down of all the kit needed just for 1 Tank and its full cost.
Sad reality is some of these drivers are civilians they ditched half the tank transport regiments back in the 90’s
The transporters are OSHKOSH UK HET 1070F - Manufactured 2003 - massive 18,000CC Diesel engine. But the tanks, I have no info on, sorry.
Mixture of Challenger 2's (Tanks), Warriors (APC/IFV) and a CRARRV (Challenger Armoured Repair and Recovery Vehicle)
@@DieyoungDiefast Thanks, I was a heavy vehicle mechanic so the trucks interest me. Tanks are a total mystery to me though.
Amazingly the British army is selling all it's tank transporters
Are what you call transporters lowboys? The US uses non military a lot.
They're a mystery to the people that work on them too. 😅@@peterhowells7309

Amazing British machinery
The trucks are American the trailers are British though.

nope just junk
Warriors!!! Haven't seen them since Bosnia.
Danny what year were you there ? 😂
What are Warriors. I am not from Britain, not sure of names.
I found the warriors on line. Huge.
@8:06 Jake brake heaven 😍
Are they on the way down to Bovington to join Rommel's Tiger Tank?
I blinked and missed it 😮
Looks like the whole British Army is headed down the highway. How do you stop one of those trucks with such a load on it?
Uk needs to built more tanks.
no we need to feed people and not cause f---ing wars
@@paulcornwall7258 ok russians will feed you.
Leave your name/address...I'm sure the military would be delighted to pass you by if the need arose!@@paulcornwall7258
Putin sent him a message saying "keep up the good work"😂😂
There bad boy tanks
What Tanks? They are called Warriors, a troop armed carrying vehicle . 30mm cannon machine gun mounted. NOT TANKS BY ANY MEANS
I’m guessing the peeps. Who films know the movements or just gets lucky , security risk?
I saw a army convoy go through Grantham once
Grantham has a military base there prince William of Gloucester barracks. Was a RCT base I been there a few times. My old unit RCT now disbanded.
@@AFCUK67 ik, drove past it everyday to get to school
There are military drills in Poland right now,are they going there?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
THE 3rd ONE IS NEAR!
I'm thinking the same mate
We are all fxxxd then
lets hope not!

I love the displays of our money being used against us 😁
We pay for their wars now in other countries while BlackRock takes over like Ukraine . We still pay to rebuild while globalists get ALL THE PROFITS and own everything after all the Ukraine /Russian blood lost and spilt ! Look to RFKennedy jr on that subject . He’s the only honest politician about the West has got !
Are these to be shipped off for another country to use or is this something for us…?
Probably shipped off to get scrapped in Ukraine, while we suffer backfiring sanctions in an effort to drain Russia to the last Ukrainian.
these are big boys
3 мировой будет?? Или пиарить решим??? Или?
They're on trailers as the potholes are too deep can't risk damaging the tracks!
Need to be strong strength keeps peace
Whole British army is smaller than what defended Avdiivka..... Just realize that !!!!
Whatever is that all about I’ve never seen that before.
Wow ! Do we really have that many tanks ? Maybe they turned off the next junction went back to the last junction and went back onto the motorway just so they could parade them back past Cobra, again 🤔🧐😬👍🏼
The uk has 213 challenger 2 main battle tanks and 3200 other armoured vehicles.
@petercoleman2834 And, how many of those could go to war tomorrow?, do your figures take into consideration the dozen or so gifted to Ukraine? Our navy army and Air force have such potential and top end weapons systems but those numbers of systems would be painfully unsustainable if,perish the thought the U.K was to face a 'peer adversary?
ALARM
On there way to Castlemartin.
So where are they going to or from?
My guess is civil war if Tories try to scrap Pound Stirling.
Might be a chosen few for the initial challenger 3 upgrade programme

Hi there everyone
"Convoys of tanks" The UK only has like 5 main battle tanks in total and we've seen all of them in this video 😂😂😂

Challanger? For where ?
What !! Britain only has 40 tanks left . Let's not get all worked up.
Trying to make 3 trucks appear like they're 30
The game changers 😂😂
The one question is are they working or going to get fixed seeing as are armed forces are so under funded it is a disgrace.
