BIG BOYS GUNS

[Gil Boyd]

As an ex Paratrooper we spent thousands of hours recognising tanks from every nation and learning every aspect of them, especially the Soviet ones obviously.
227 tanks remain out of the original 376. The British Army require the conversions to be finished by 2025. It is assumed that Challenger 2 will remain in service until 2035. However it will be a big task for BAE or it's competitor Rheinmetall Defence.

The tank shape seems to being going back to WW2 with more and more reliance on Chafe to deter missile strikes from the air, or have I a skewed view of tanks.
Being half German half Irish, I have always rated the LEOPARD German tank as one of the best, what does your country have U.S and Canada that compares on upgrades?
