What long post describes the Challenger not doing Ukraine any good? Even being down on it you seem to have said it's better than a T72 and Ukraine have been happy to get any of those they can.

good job it won't be fighting a superpower then.

@stevefairbanks835 same basic idea, but a total rebuild rather than a upgrade.

@limedickandrew6016 Again, you stated something and then described something different. Number are of course useful, so some Challenger sis better than none.

@danieljames2015 We have a bigger Navy that France, a similar airforce and smaller army. Overall it's pretty similar.

No it would equate to being undefeated in the second division, it's seen combat but fair enough that Iraq isn't peer combat. But frankly Russia has been looking like a second division team.

Those being retired will likely be cannibalised for parts to keep the upgraded ones going given they've been out of production for decades. I think they will also be concerned about ammo stocks as they don't use commonly used rounds.
