Britain’s Challenger 2 tank has a reputation for being extremely hard to destroy - in fact, until very recently, the only Challenger ever lost in combat was destroyed by friendly fire from another Challenger. That’s hardly surprising, when you realise that this tank has maybe the best armour in the world and one of the most accurate cannons.

We examine the tape, get hands-on with the Challenger and speak to a commander to find out.
