    Challenger Two Main Battle Tank has NEVER been destroyed by enemy action. One is lost to friendly fire, just to confirm =)

    The Hook shaped thing towards the front of the turret is a wire cutter to stop the commander/loader being decapitated by garrot wire being stretched across the road in buit up areas (no joke) and I think that the bigger disc shaped thing towards the back of the turret is the friendly force identifier thing. Not sure about that one though.
