History:
The Challenger main battle tank represents the backbone of Britain’s armoured forces. Entering service in the 1980s, the Challenger 1 and later Challenger 2 became known for their heavy armour protection and rifled 120mm gun. The tank saw operational use in the Gulf War, where its survivability and firepower earned high praise. Continuously upgraded, the Challenger remains central to the British Army’s heavy armoured units, symbolising technological innovation and battlefield dominance in modern armoured warfare.
