@nphanlon1973 Cheiftain was NOT used in Northern Ireland - they felt the main armament was too provocative. They used the Centurion AVRE (four of them).

@nphanlon1973 Operation Motorman,1972, was the biggest military operation in Ireland. About 4,000 extra troops were brought in, the Op involved almost 22,000 soldiers. Several Centurion AVRE, derived from the Centurion tank, were used. These were the only tanks to be deployed in Northern Ireland. The tanks had been transported to Northern Ireland on board HMS Fearless, and were operated with their main guns pointed to the rear, covered with tarpaulins.
