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 (Armour 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 manlet 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. Challenger 2 is in service with the British Army and with the Royal Army of Oman. The UK placed orders for 127 Challenger 2 tanks in 1991 and an additional 259 in 1994. In 1993 Oman ordered 18 Challenger 2 tanks and an order for a further 20 tanks was placed in November 1997. Challenger 2 entered service with the British Army in June 1998 and the last of the 386 tanks was delivered in April 2002. Deliveries for Oman were completed in 2001. Challenger 2 has seen operational service in Bosnia and Kosovo. British Army Challenger 2 tanks were deployed on active service in Operation Iraqi Freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem No 00345\u003cbr\u003eItem Name British Challenger 2 MBT KFOR in action at Kosovo\u003cbr\u003eBar Code n\/a\u003cbr\u003eScale 1:35\u003cbr\u003eItem Type Static Armor\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief Length: 333 mm Width: 114mm Height:87mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts 435pcs\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues 8pcs plus hull and turret and tracks\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes UK army KFOR in action at Kosovo\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date n\/a\u003cbr\u003eMore Features Equipped with the dozer blade kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod_hdr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod_hdr_right\"\u003eclick image to enlarge\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Valley Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40913963024513,"sku":null,"price":34.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/6936\/7681\/files\/trm0345_01_350.jpg?v=1789070308","url":"https:\/\/www.hobcen.com\/products\/tru00345-trumpeter-1-35-british-challenger-2-mbt-kfor-in-action-at-kosovo","provider":"The Hobby Centre ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
