"Challenger 2 has the ability to brew tea for the crew from inside the tank. The tank contains a boiler for water which can be used to produce hot beverages and heat 'boil-in-the-bag' meals contained in ration packs. Every British tank since the Centurion has this ability to heat water.
Most Soviet era automobiles had the same ability, only they weren't designed to have it.


I've had British army tea from compo rations, made with a teabag the size of small pillow. Strong enough to make durable road surfaces. Still, we did get 'Tiffin' chocolat bars to go with it, which were unavailable in the shops at the time.


Mmm.... Tiffin.
