LOWER PLATE BETTER NOT BE 76mm

now i have to upgrade my tesco shopping trolley .

One thing about the Brits is they build excellent tanks. I was a Cavalry Scout during desert storm and went to iraq for the 2nd go. I heard and saw nothing but good things about the challenger tanks. The British also invented the chobham/dorchester armour we use on the our M1 and on some of our other vehicles. I served from 1990-2007 and I miss it.

"Why is 148 tanks enough" ...... Because its all we can afford

[@oliverrugg3732]

Imagine one of these coming at you at 60mph whist you're sitting in a Tesco's car park huffing gas.

[@Harrythepot]

60mph over rough ground. We need another race with a range rover sport.

[@thelonewolf9866]

I care not how fancy the new turret is! What is the tea boiling capabilities like? We must know!

[@integ3r]

"Digital tank." You wouldn't download a Challenger 3.

[@ReekieReels]

"They decided to buy British".

[@thebathman0987]

"Firstly, it has fancy computers and Wi-Fi on board..."

[@markwelsh3957]

It's great to see the latest version of this tank class. My grandfather had something to do with the design of the Challenger Mk 1 so it's brilliant to know his technical skill is still around and an important part of the British Army even though he now sadly isn't. He would have been proud and I have several happy teenage memories of visits to Bordon Camp with him. Best of luck Challenger Mk 3!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Britain may not produce much anymore when it comes to basic goods, but we sure know how to produce high tech still! Very proud.

[@jackhall2223]

With a BV onboard that can make enough tea for the entire crew to drink with Sports Direct mugs too

[@trje246]

"full operating capability by 2030"

[@Bugeye0704]

“New cooling system for the engine”

[@user-kvartz-a8]

Absolutely beautiful. But then again, I would expect nothing less from the pioneers of the tank.

[@EvenWaysMusic]

For years I’ve prayed we have a Challenger 3, and here we are. This is such a proud moment!!

[@kronos4136]

We had 900 tanks once, yes, we did I remember they were all at the same crossroads in the German countryside during Lionheart 1984

[@ramal5708]

I am just curious if their main gun is so stable, so it could hold cup of tea upright just like the Leopard 2 video with a beer on the turret

[@duncanbull959]

Good news of updating the tank fleet . The only criticism is I would like to see a far bigger order . Double that number .
