Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: "Now replaced by Challenger 2, Challenger was a development of the Centurion/Chieftain line, modified to produce the Shir/Iran 2 originally planned for service with the Iranian forces. After the Iranian Revolution the Shir Iran 2 project was taken over by the British Army and the end result was Challenger, later redesignated as Challenger 1. The main differences between Challenger 1 and its predecessor Chieftain were the Challenger engine, which produces 1,200bhp at 2,300rpm, far more powerful than the Chieftain engine, and the Chobham Armour, which gave very high protection levels against anti armour weapons. Armament 1 x 120mm L11A5 gun; 2 x 7.62mm Machine Guns; 2 x 5 barrel smoke dischargers; Engine Rolls-Royce CV12; Ammunition Capacity Typically 44 rounds of 120mm; 6000 rounds of 7.62mm; Engine Capacity 26.1 litres; Max Road Speed 56kph; Weight Loaded 62,000kg; Length Hull 9.8m; Length Gun Foward 11.5m; Height 2.95m; Width 3.5m; Ground Clearance 0.5m; Crew 4."
