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.
