Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Challenger 3 upgrade will include improvements to the (a) suspension and (b) gearbox.
This question was answered on 20th January 2023
The current Hydrogas suspension units will be replaced with the latest '3rd Generation' Hydrogas system.
The transmission that will be fitted to CR3 remains largely unchanged from that fitted to CR2. It will continue with its iterative modification programme to address obsolescence and improve reliability.
