Historical Specification

The FV215B (183) is a British prototype tank destroyer developed in the 1950s during the Cold War period. It was designed as a response to the development of Soviet heavy tanks. The vehicle was based on the chassis of the Conqueror tank and stood out with its powerful 183mm L4 gun, one of the heaviest weapons ever mounted on a combat vehicle. Despite its impressive armament and advanced design, the FV215B (183) never entered mass production or regular service—only prototypes were built, which were tested by the British Army. The vehicle's usage was limited to test trials and museum exhibits.
