International Armoured Vehicle Conference 2026: Chief of the General Staff's speech

So, on Challenger 3, we still intend to hit the IOC (Initial Operation Capability) with 18 new tanks delivered in 2027. We've had some really productive talks with RBSL (Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land), which is looking to accelerate certain aspects of that and move some of that to spiral development with our fielded formations to ensure that we are the first to field a fully digitised main battle tank that is designed to work within that 20:40:40 system.
