Great Britain has a long and interesting history of armoured vehicle
use and development. In fact they coined the term "TANK" for such
weapons, and are known as well, for their superb designs. Their latest
version of the Challenger Main Battle Tank is regarded as on of the
most advanced armoured fighting vehicles in service in the world today.
Modern technology has enabled several outstanding improvements in its
firepower, crew protection, and mobility, to meet the demands of
today's battle conditions.
The Challenger demonstrated and proved its combat worth during the
recent Gulf Conflict. In addition to painting the tank with an overall
sand colour, many modifications for desert operations were
accomplished, including an improved cooling system; better air
cleaners; a reinforced transmission; extra side skirts from Chobham
armour for added protection, plus bolt-on Reactive armour applied to
the frontal area; an additional 200 litres of fuel was carried in
external tanks mounted on the rear of the tan, which greatly extended
its range; extra external stowage bins; and the use of maintenance free
batteries.
Despite operations in the harsh desert environment, the Challengers
maintained an outstanding "in service" and availability figure that
exceeded 90%. This achievement, along with its accurate and heavy
firepower, pointed to the Challenger as being one of the best main
battle tanks used during the Conflict.
