Army Unveils The NEW CHALLENGER 3 Main Battle Tank!
British Army to get 148 Challenger 3 tanks in £800m deal
An £800m contract has been agreed to supply the Army with 148 upgraded, fully-digitised tanks as part of a major overhaul of the armed forces.
The Challenger 3 tanks will replace the existing Challenger 2 vehicles which have been in use since 1998.
The vehicles will be produced at the Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) plant in Telford, Shropshire.
Under the military restructure, announced in March, the overall number of tanks will be cut from 227.
The tank contract is part of a defence review which will see the Army's size reduced to 72,500 soldiers by 2025 as part of an increased focus on drones and cyber warfare.
