Just read on the news...
"Army to receive 148 of ‘most lethal’ battle tanks in Europe. The contract will see 200 jobs created in Shropshire and a further 450 roles elsewhere in the country."
That's good news for our 3D printer crew as they are Challenger 3, a much updated version of the Chally 2 so we'll probably see them here first!
Thoughts??

Re: New UK main battle tank
I think there has been talk of it, or something like it, but there have also been denials and alternative suggestions. It's now official and contracts are announced. I
It's interesting that we are getting another traditional tank as there's been a lot if sound cases for smaller rocket launcher type vehicles. That said, one of the features of the new Chally 3 mbt is a top speed of 60mph. No slouch!

Re: New UK main battle tank
Hmm, thanks for that, my bad as they say. My only defense is that l was not notified of these new posts. I thought the forum sent us notice of all new topics and posts. Is something not working? Feel free to delete this thread, it's serves no purpose now.
