Description of the military vehicles included in the set

The FV432 Mk.2/1 is a British armored personnel carrier produced since the 1960s, widely used by the British Army from 1963 to the present day. It proved itself on a variety of military theaters, including UN peacekeeping operations and military conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, and the Persian Gulf.

The Chieftain Mk. 5, on the other hand, is an iconic main battle tank of the United Kingdom from the Cold War era, serving from the second half of the 1960s until the 1990s. It was distinguished by its advanced design, powerful 120 mm L11A5 gun, and exceptional armor protection; it took part in NATO exercises and formed the backbone of Britain's armored forces until the introduction of the Challenger tanks.
