Post by: PUX on June 14, 2006, 21:07:49: trust me guys its a warrior a 432 looks nothing like that when stripped :wink: when fully loaded with ammo and weapons and kit plus 8 little darling squaddies plus crew its close to forty tonnes

Post by: bezzabsa on June 14, 2006, 21:08:18: Believe me its a warrior... the amount of paperwork i had to sign...all with Warrior and its is unit reg No. on was unbelievable.
stripped like that they weigh about 6 1/2 tonnes, fully built theyre about 20. had the smaller ones out in the car park..and one mother of a huge tracked vehicle... cross between a tank and a 101 - well weird!!!
Love to know what theyre made from, as its not steel....almost like aluminium when shotblast..had a good look round a rebuilt one while i was there -and I am Never going to complain about the driving position being cramped in a landy again!!! must all be midgets that drive em ;)

Post by: jalopy joe on June 15, 2006, 14:31:50: The material is Chobham Armour, and that's all I know about it. We make loads of bits for Warriors and FV430,s amongst others and all our local machining subbies hate the stuff with a vengeance.

I would have thought shotblasting Chobbham would be a bad idea. The armour is plates that are fitted IIRC and not the chassis material.
