The Challenger 1 was developed during the late 1970s and entered production in 1983 as the successor to the British Chieftain tank. It became the primary main battle tank of the British Army throughout the final years of the Cold War. The vehicle gained worldwide recognition during Operation Granby, the British contribution to the 1991 Gulf War. Challenger 1 crews demonstrated exceptional battlefield performance, benefiting from the tank's advanced Chobham armor and powerful 120 mm rifled gun. During the conflict, a Challenger 1 achieved the longest confirmed tank kill ever recorded at the time. Outside the United Kingdom, the tank was also operated extensively by Jordan.
