FlatEric999 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Slightly off-topic, but if you'd like to see and hear a Chieftain Mk10 in Berlin camo, check out Mr Hewes YouTube channel (he buys and restores mostly ex-British Army equipment from the Cold War era). In this episode he takes the Mk10 to Catterick Garrison - Chieftain starts around 6 minutes in: Turn up the volume and enjoy Edited June 4, 2023 by FlatEric999 Typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Fusselpulli Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I really wonder how they were able to get the Russian equipment for the video? Did the Brits just had a bunch of BTR-60, T-62 and BMP-1 in their service? Even Hollywood movies had bad mock ups, but those vehicles are genuine. That really puzzles me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have come from the Israelis after the 1973 war. Edited June 5, 2023 by Grey_Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Or borrowed them from our US allies, who almost certainly acquired them from the Israelis, for the training video ... I used to work for the unit that did all of this sort of threat briefing stuff and, although this film predates my army service by a year, I don't recall ever having to guard or check that nobody had stolen the BMP-1, BTR-60 or T-62 from the vehicle sheds. The uniforms and bang sticks were definitely held by the unit though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
