Tweo CARRV is reasonable as they only got 14 Challengers and have probably lost most, So two would be adequate even if they still have 12 as the two would be held by a Squadron HQ

Brian Lee, vehicle mechanic, Sergeant. Before his retirement he held the record for the highest rate of fleet readiness whilst on maneuvers in Canada, at 96%. The only reason it wasn't 100% was that they couldn't get him enough spares
REME Recovery Mechanic here, Ross Mellon served 96-19 and 2020 — 2027, served in 8 operations, 5 of which were in Iraq and Afghanistan
One thing making recovery vehicles more important is that Ukraine and Russia both have tanks left over from the Soviet era. Russian equipment can be pulled back for use by Ukraine, either in operation, or as source of spares.
My late Father Brian Gifford, I still have his passing out parade picture — National Service , No 1 Trg. Bn. R.E.M.E 'A' Company No.8 Platoon, Blandford September 1958. I know he spent much of the rest of his service in Germany, Fallingbostell and the Sennelager Ranges/Training Area. His Trade was Armourer, he was allowed to deffer until he was 21 and had completed his engineering apprenticeship. His LAD was attached with the 17/21st Lancers from what i can see from his photo collection.
Imagine turning it into an APC like the ISRAELIS
Did with the MERKAVA ….
My grandfather was in the 7th armoured division (desert rats). He went the long way to Germany in the 2nd world war, through the desert and via Italy. He lost all of his friends on the way but he did get to enjoy his retirement.

Crarrv was a beauty….💪
Al served as a Vehicle Mechanic with REME 1987 — 96 (Regular Army) and 1996 — 2008 (Territorial Army).
I was from 1992-96 posted to 4 Armd Wksp/ 3Bn REME, where I was part of a Forward Repaor Team on a Warrior FV512 as part of the Forward Repair Group. I had the High Mobility Trailer with the CV12 power pack for the CRARVs.

My late father was with the REME in the Korean War. They had only had a scammell recovery vehicle and used it to bump start centurion tanks in the bitter cold as well as a tank recovery vehicle.Capt Victor Moore
Thats me commanding the CRARRV.😊
Armour can be bolted on…. And given it doesn't carry a lot of explosive ammo…. It's not that easy to take out crew fairly dispersed aswell…. So its good for the job.
Those challenger ARV's look so much like "bergepanzers" it's insane…
GULF 1 FIRST CASUALTYS 2 REME FITTERS WORKING ON A BROKEN DOWN VEHICLE, WE ALL PAY THE PRICE . ?
Seargeant Dennis Pritchett, REME WW2 in Burma, and later Japan. My father — I sent his military documents to the REME museum for future researchers to find, if interested..
My grandfather as CEO Solex engineering, organised training for army motor mechanics 1937- and later helped found REME. REME go forward to repair and recover, alot further than many realise: That armour is not wasted!
What an interesting discussion! Thanks
Excellent stuff….but of course…..British Built, built to FUNCTION & LAST as such….
needlessly,
Needlessly,
NEEDLESSLY,
WORDY.
The first challenger 2 ukraine lost wasnt finished off by a ATGM as it was in dead ground next to the road, the t64 posted on the road to defend the damaged challenger was what was destroyed by a ATGM. The area came under heavy artillery bombardment which set the tank on fire cooking the ammunition off
Would be interested if the CRARRVs they received were from the earlier batch or the later batch as the earlier batch came in at around 36 tons and the later one were over 40 tons as the crew compartment was made with thicker steel
300 tanks taken with around 20-30 shells each thats a lot of extra shots
My father Lance Corporal Jack Frederick Hancock REME, tank radio engineer on Normandy D-day + 1 (Gold) beach, tank recovery and mine clearance on beachhead breakout, occasional Bren gunner (German sniper clearance on French roadside tree lines) and tanker on push thru Caen, born 1917, died 1987. Thanks Dad.
We might not have the defence budget of China or the United States but we are still a leading country in this increasingly dangerous world and we're still prepared to put our money where our mouth is and help countries who are under threat from dangerous world leaders.
Слава Україні, Героям Слава!!🇺🇦🇬🇧✌️✌️
