The first look at the new Challenger 3

Just a few days ago we reported that RBSL has made progress in the armor of the new British tank Challenger 3. There was a wonderful picturesque PR photo - but not of the current tank. However, it could be seen on a screen: the one above is the current final state Challenger 3. You can see a very massive armor of the hull. The turret also has a different shape and no Trophy defense system has been installed yet.

The new modular armor, designed by the world's leading armor experts at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and developed in collaboration with RBSL, significantly enhances the survivability of the British main battle tank. Following initial integration tests in 2023, RBSL will now test, produce, and install the new armor in the Challenger 3.
