The Challenger demonstrated and proved its combat worth throughout the current Gulf Conflict. In addition to painting the tank with an overall sand color, many changes for desert operations had been achieved, including a better cooling system; better atmosphere cleaners; a strengthened transmission; extra side skirts from Chobham armor for added security, plus bolt-on Reactive armor applied to the front area; one more 200 liters of fuel ended up being carried in external tanks installed on the trunk associated with tan, which significantly extended its range; additional outside stowage containers; therefore the usage of maintenance free batteries.
Despite operations inside harsh wilderness environment, the Challengers maintained an outstanding "in solution" and supply figure that surpassed 90per cent. This achievement, and its accurate and heavy firepower, pointed on Challenger as being one of the best main battle tanks used during the Conflict.
