Challenger Tanks: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the project stages and timeline are for the Challenger 3 programme.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Challenger 3 is currently undergoing demonstration phase trials to prove the performance of the tanks. Manufacturing will begin once the tank's performance is proven, rather than being tied to a specific deadline.
The project team will review the timeline regularly to ensure alignment with delivery milestones, operational needs, and emerging technical risks.
