The Challenger 2 is the British Army's main battle tank. It is based on the Challenger 1 tank, which served with distinction on operations in the Gulf War and the Balkans. Although a logical development of Challenger 1, Challenger 2 is greatly superior. It is protected by second generation Chobham Armour and features a new digital fire control system that includes a panoramic commander’s sight, a laser range finder and a new version of the Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sight (TOGS II). The turret mounts the high pressure L30 120mm gun that fires conventional APDS-FS, HESH, smoke and depleted uranium projectiles with great accuracy. It performed superbly in Iraq in 2003 and was instrumental in the early capture of Basra by British Forces.

Dick Taylor gives authoritative insights into the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the British Army’s main battle tank of the early 21st century.
