Maybe those need Russian made parts? Some of that ERA might be salvageable for use on operational Ukrainian tanks.

It actually served from the early 1950's to 1980 ish, but I'm not sure how long the Finn's had it. I think it was armed with the 20 pdr that the first Centurions were equipped with.

Finnish Army bought 38 "Charioteer Mk VII Model B" by 1960, and they remained in use until 1979. The tanks were stored until 2007 when they were auctioned off.

There ya go, then.  :bigthumb:

There is one at Bovington, but I'm not sure if it was there last time I visited, which is, admittedly, a long time ago.

It's kind of a 'Tankenstein', with bits of different British late-and-post-WW2 tanks. They must've got the idea from the Israelis...
