What model was the British "Warrior" tank during World War II?
"Crusader" tank was developed from 1939, and the development code was A 15, which was jointly manufactured by several companies under the leadership of nuffield Company. Because it was improved on the basis of Covenant tanks, the development progress was very fast./kloc-0 was successfully developed in 940 and began to equip the British army. Crusader tank is very similar to Covenant tank in appearance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an improved version of Covenant tank.
Here I also want to talk about the naming of the "Crusader" tank. It is said that at the beginning of 1939, the European continent was already "stormy", and the British military named this important tank Crusader, which has far-reaching implications. But English experts should know that Crusader's correct translation should be "Crusader", while the previous translation in China was "Crusader" tank, which is obviously inaccurate. Since everyone is used to calling it that, we will make a mistake here and not change it. Coincidentally, from 1994, the US military began to develop a new type of cross-century self-propelled howitzer, also known as the Crusader. This time, it is gratifying that the industry has not been "fooled" and correctly translated into "Crusader" self-propelled howitzer.
"Crusader" tank 1940 started production at the beginning, and 1943 stopped production. The total output of tanks I, II and III reached 5,300, making them the main tanks of the British army in the early World War II. In the late World War II, it was gradually replaced by "Churchill" infantry tanks and "Cromwell" cruise tanks.
In the British patrol tanks, the Crusader patrol tanks play a connecting role. Before the Crusader tanks, there were A9, A 10, A 13 and Covenant tanks. After the Crusader tanks, there were knights, centaurs, Cromwell, challenger and comet tanks. Someone said humorously that "British tanks are C-series tanks". The English initials of these patrol tanks are all "C", just the same, which is very interesting. Of course, this is just a coincidence.
