Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether it remains his policy to reduce the total number of Challenger 2 tanks held by the British Army.
This question was answered on 30th March 2023
As announced under Future Soldier, Challenger 3 will replace Challenger 2 to deliver the Army’s new Main Battle Tank capability with enhanced lethality, survivability, and mobility, able to meet current and emerging threats.
The number of Challenger 3 remains under review to ensure the Army’s Main Battle Tank fleet is sufficient to meet Defence’s needs.
