British Army tanks travel through German town | Big smoke cloud 💨

Watch as twelve British Army Challenger 2 battle tanks and a recovery vehicle arrive by train in Parsberg, Germany. The army tanks then travel by road to the Hohenfels Training Area for US Army-led Exercise Combined Resolve. This is a shortened video of the full length yet to come.

One battle tank in particular was bellowing a large amount of smoke, likely due to a blown turbo. The convoy stopped briefly before making the decision to continue the short distance. A job for the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers (REME) to sort out!

There have been 51 Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) of the 12th (UK) Armoured Brigade Combat Team deployed to Europe on Exercise Steadfast Defender, with a large portion travelling by train through the Channel Tunnel. Tanks of the Kings Royal Hussars are participating in Combined Resolve, along with the US Army's 101st Airborne Division, 2nd Romanian Infantry Division, and many other NATO allies.

Exercise Steadfast Defender is the largest NATO military exercise to be held since the Cold War. Over 90,000 troops are participating with several other exercises taking place within Steadfast Defender, such as Combined Resolve, Defender Europe and Grand Quadriga. Armed forces have travelled by road, sea and air all across Europe and the North Atlantic.
