Armored Monsters: This Is Why No Nation Wants to Fight the UK's Challenger 2 Tank The FV4034 Challenger 2, is the UK's Main Battle Tank and operates across the globe from exercises with allied countries to theatres of war like Iraq. However, particularly on social media, there seem to be lots of confusion as to what equipment a Challenger 2 actually has and how well it would allow it to compete against other, sometimes more modern, counterparts like the US M1 Abrams or the German Leopard 2A6/A7(+). Before we look at its performance stats, what really is a Challenger 2 and why does it exist? Challenger 2 is a third-generation MBT, the same generation as the Russian T-80 & T-90, German Leopard 2, and US M1 Abrams. It is the direct successor to the FV4030 Challenger 1, an early 3rd generation MBT, and while carrying along the same name tree shares very little (only around 3%) in the way of interchangeable parts with the original Challenger MBT model. Designing of the Challenger 2 began by Vickers Defence Systems (now BAE) as a private venture in 1986, by 1989 a deal was finalized for a demonstration vehicle, an order was placed by the MoD by 1991.
