The british Challenger 2 MBT is a copy of the Russian post-war tank IS-7.

One turret, one main gun and two threads! That can't be a coincidence!

Wow, one could think it's the same tank!

No man, look at the design it's almost 1:1 suitable :o the turret and body shap and lenght is almost perfect identical.

Look at the front of both tanks LOOK. Compare the rear compartment where the engine takes place, very identical too. Can't be unseen. The chally looks at least more influenced by this tank, than by the Panther or Tiger (as many people say). Don't you agree with me on that?

I can say I see it. The armor layout is completely different, with different turret shapes(one hemispherical, one rectangular) and different philosophies on sloping the front and rear armor(the challenger has a mostly flat glacis plate like that of a Kingtiger or Panther and a rearward sloping back, where as the IS7 has a pointed front like the IS3 and a inward sloping back). Moreover their suspension is completely different.

I really don't see anything significant they have in common...
