Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I’ve used steel cutting charges before but never heard of using one for tank repair! I think that’s a Centurian but I’m not all that familiar with British Armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Angus McPherson Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I don't understand why they had to cut the track before towing the tank out of the jam it was in. Could someone enlighten me on this? Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they were Centurions. Yep if the track is jammed it is pretty difficult to drag it. Better to break it (I have never used charges) and then drag the tank.

Makes sense to me. I hadn't thought of that. The tracks in the video didn't seem to be that screwed up. Suspension of disbelief for a training video, maybe?

Cat Brules Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 In the field......tow vehicle available......expedite getting the tan out of there. Blowing the track to free it up from the wheels was certainly not in the book. Field improvisation, by blowing the track gets the tank moving. Replacing the track and other damage occurs in the rear. Good call. “Now, let’s get back on point men, and carry on!” Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
