Challenger 3: British tank hits targets at unprecedented 3-mile range
Story by KMO



In May, the British Ministry of Defense conducted live-fire tests of the new Challenger 3 main battle tank. The primary focus of the tests was to examine the capabilities of the Rheinmetall 120 mm L55A1 gun in combination with the latest 120 mm DM73 ammunition. This combination enabled the tank to hit targets even at 3 miles, reports Army Recognition. According to the service, this makes the Challenger 3 the first tank in the world to achieve such a range.

he armament of the Challenger 3 tank, the highly anticipated successor to the Challenger 2 tank, provides it with unparalleled precision in striking targets at long distances. By combining the Rheinmetall 120 mm L55A1 gun with the latest 120 mm DM73 ammunition, as well as cutting-edge technologies and previous experiences, the British have significantly improved the tank's firepower, accuracy, and effectiveness, thereby proving that the Challenger 3 is rightly considered one of the most powerful combat tanks in Europe.

Challenger 3 - a new armored quality
The British have high hopes for the Challenger 3 tank, resulting from a collaboration between the German Rheinmetall corporation and the British BAE Systems. For now, the vehicle prototypes are undergoing tests across the western border, but they will also occur in the United Kingdom. These tests are expected to last about 18 months and aim to verify whether the Challenger 3 meets all the requirements set by the British Army. The British expect the tank to achieve initial operational capability by 2027 and be fully operational by 2030.

The Challenger 3 is a comprehensive modernization of the still-used Challenger 2 tanks. The chassis of the Challenger 2 has been retained but redesigned and armored. The tank also received new modular armor and an active protection system, enhancing crew safety. The Challenger 3 features a new propulsion system, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 37 mph, and is equipped with fully digital fire control and communication systems.
The tank weighs 73 tons and has a total length of 36 feet. It can accommodate a crew of four people. The heart of this machine is the German Rheinmetall 120 mm L55A1 gun. In the Challenger 3, the British abandoned domestic weaponry in favor of a solution used in most Western tanks. The choice of this gun reflects a shift towards the modern ammunition standards employed by NATO countries.

Argentina and France discuss transfer of Super Etendard aircraft to Ukraine
Story by Maria Kholina



Argentina is actively discussing with France the transfer of Super Etendard attack aircraft to Ukraine. Currently, these aircraft are inoperable due to an embargo imposed by the United Kingdom, according to Infobae.

The discussion involves sending five Super Etendard combat aircraft, which have been decommissioned due to the embargo imposed by the UK against Argentina following the Falklands War.

"France's involvement is crucial to overcoming this geopolitical obstacle, and Chancellor Diana Mondino and Defense Minister Luis Petri have been working for weeks to advance this secretive move, which also involves the participation of the United States and NATO," the Infobae states.

The five fighters are stored at the Espora Air Base in Puerto Belgrano because they require cartridges that enable the ejection seats in case of an emergency.

Argentina does not have access to these cartridges due to the British embargo, and since the planes arrived in Argentina, "they have never been able to be used." It is expected that France will repair them and transfer them to Ukraine.

Super Etendard aircraft

The Super Etendard is a French supersonic carrier-based attack aircraft. It was developed based on the Etendard IVM aircraft and made its first flight on October 28, 1974. A total of 85 aircraft were built.

It was exported to Argentina, and a few were briefly operated by the Iraqi Air Force. The aircraft gained significant popularity during the Falklands War.

In the French Navy, these aircraft are being retired and are planned to be completely replaced by Dassault Rafale multirole fighters by 2015.

Falklands war

The Falklands or Malvinas War of 1982 was a conflict between the United Kingdom and Argentina over control of the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands.

Neither Argentina nor the United Kingdom formally declared war on each other; from both perspectives, the military actions were seen as a restoration of control over their rightful territory.

The war ended in a decisive victory for the United Kingdom, which continues to control the islands to this day.

Argentina's participation in peace summit

Argentine President Javier Milei has decided to participate in the peace summit on Ukraine, which will take place on June 15-16 in Switzerland. About a week ago, it was reported that the Argentine leader would not attend the event.

Ukraine missile misfire: Russian Tor-M2 system implicated in error
Story by NGA



During Sunday's shelling of Crimea, Ukrainian armed forces reportedly fired at least five ATACMS missiles toward Sevastopol. According to the Russians, one deviated from its course and fell near a beach near Sevastopol. However, pictures published online suggest that a Russian Tor-M2 system missile, not an ATACMS as initially thought, landed in Crimea.

It is too early to conclude, but it is not an ATACMS," stated military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko, who was quoted by the Ukrainian agency Unian. He points out that the missile wreckage found near Sevastopol looks like one used in the Tor-M2 anti-aircraft system.

"Using the Tor-M2 anti-aircraft system to intercept a ballistic missile is unjustified and pointless," adds Kovalenko. The expert explains that if a Tor-M2 missile fails to intercept the designated target, it initiates a self-destruction system.

Kovalenko suspects this is what happened in Crimea. "It's possible that the missile failed to intercept the Ukrainian missile and self-destructed over the beach near Sevastopol," he explains.

Tor-M2 air defense system
The Tor-M2 complex is a weapon whose history dates back to the 1980s. During that period, the USSR began creating a successor to the 9K33 Osa system. The first generation of the Tor system was designed to combat airborne targets (drones, guided missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft, helicopters, and precision weapons) moving at short and medium ranges. Kovalenko believes using the Tor-M2 to shoot down ATACMS is unjustified. American missiles reach altitudes of several miles.

According to the Army-Technology portal, the Tor-M2 set consists of two 9M334 modules containing four 9M331 surface-to-air missiles in four separate containers. A single 9M331 missile weighs about 375 pounds and is nearly 10 feet long with a diameter of about 10 inches and a wingspan of over 2 feet. The warhead alone weighs 33 pounds.
The maximum speed of a missile fired by the Tor-M2 system reaches Mach 2.5, over 1,900 mph. A 9M331 missile can ascend to an altitude of 4 miles and get a maximum distance of about 7 miles. The rocket uses a radio guidance system.
