Emphasising accuracy and protection, the Challenger 2 epitribes British tank design philosophy. While its Dorchester armour offers great protection, its unique rifled 120mm gun offers unparalleled precision over vast distances. With its strong 1,200hp diesel engine, it keeps good mobility even if it weights more than many contemporaries at 75 tonnes. The thermal observation and gunnery system of the tank (TOGS) enables efficient engagement in various kinds of environment. Under the Life Extension Project (LEP), recent additions include upgraded command and control systems, new thermal imaging technologies, and more defence against contemporary threats.
