Oman has ordered 18 Challenger 2 MBTs. With the introduction of Challenger 2, all remaining Chieftain and Challenger 1 MBTs will be phased out of service with the British Army. Although similar in appearance to Challenger 1, the Challenger 2 MBT has many improvements including a brand new turret armed with the latest 120mm L30 rifled tank gun firing a new APFSDS-T (Armor Piercing Fin Discarding Sabot Tracer) projectile with a depleted uranium penetrator. The new computerized fire control system, all electric gun control and stabilizing system, and stabilized sights for the commander and gunner give a high degree of first round hit probability under both day and night conditions. Standard equipment includes a thermal camera over the mantel of the 120mm gun which provides a picture for gunner and commander, as well as an NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) system, mounting points for additional fuel drums at the rear, and mounting points for a Combat Dozer Blade at the front of the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344076996821,"sku":"TRP308","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/trumpeter-scale-models-308-1-35-british-challenger-ii-main-battle-tank-model-kit.jpg?v=1744390643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-scale-models-308-1-35-british-challenger-ii-main-battle-tank-model-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
