Challenger 1 | The Desert Shield
The Challenger 1 main battle tank was designed after the Shir Chieftain project, a proposal to upgrade the powerpack of Britain's first main battle tank (the previous Centurion was designed on the premise of the "gun tank" rather than an MBT), for Iran fell through. Meanwhile, Britain's own projects set to replace Chieftain had been cancelled, and the British army became a potential customer for this upgraded Chieftain. The first Challengers entered service in 1983, and were upgraded to the Mk.2 standard in 1985. Met with love from the regiments who received it, but some controversy from the international market, the Challenger 1 would be disregarded as a true competitor... that is until Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and Britain took its Challengers to war.
In today's video we'll take a look at the history, design, and capabilities of this legendary behemoth, and uncover some of its secrets and accomplishments.
