Since the dawn of tank combat during the First World War, the very nature of the tracked fighting vehicle has mostly prevented wheeled transportation being employed for both supply and repair/recovery, due to a lack of mobility in rough and boggy terrain compared to tanks and other tracked combat platforms.Ī CRARRV without additional armor, giving an unobstructed view of the superstructure. Mechanised warfare poses enormous challenges for modern armies, with not only a massive effort needed to supply armored formations in the field, but also to support tanks and other armored fighting vehicles that have been damaged or become bogged down. With the Challenger MBT as its basis, this boy is big, loud and heavy. Because of this, it is essentially a self-sufficient workshop, complete with a crane, air lines, gas axes and two winches. It is sprawling with all the equipment and tools required to help with the recovery and repair of combat vehicles. There are few machines as good at this as the British CRARRV, a 70-ton monster based on the Challenger that can pull and repair the heaviest armored fighting vehicles in service today.
If you operate tanks, then you need a vehicle to pull them along should things go wrong.
