The Challenger 1 had a significant impact on British military history as a main battle tank from 1983 to 2001. He received his baptism of fire in the Gulf War in 1991, where he distinguished himself by exceptional marksmanship. Continuous modernisation, especially the additional armour of the Mk. 3 version, made it one of the best protected tanks of its time. The massive 1,200 hp engine gave the 62 ton colossus a remarkable speed of 56 km/h.
