Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department expects the Challenger 3 Main Battle Tank to weigh in tonnes.
The Challenger 3 Main Battle Tank’s core weight will be approximately 66 tonnes, although I am withholding the anticipated all-up weight of the deployable configuration as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
