The project to refit Challenger 2 with the smoothbore gun was cancelled by the new Coalition government in the UK over a year ago. Instead, new three part Tungston ammunition is being developed to mach the performance of the German and US smoothbore rounds. Why is every website so behind the times?

Fact is both tanks saw action in the gulf war and both tanks obliterated the T72 and T80 tanks. I have to laugh at the comment that the british cant build tanks since we invented the tank!! The crusader was a really good tank that was a match for the german panzers although it had reliability issues. The centurion was another great tank which totally destroyed russian tanks when used by the Israelies. Challenger 2 probably the best tank in the world today with the Abrahams a close second.

The challenge two is by far the worlds most supperior tank designed specificaly for fast long range warfare the primary requirement of any tank.
