About the Challenger II:
The Challenger 2 is a main battle tank built by the UK company, Alvis Vickers Ltd (formerly Vickers Defence Systems). Challenger 2 is in service with the British Army Royal Armoured Corps and with the Royal Army of Oman. Although it had seen use in peacekeeping missions and exercises before, the Challenger 2 did not make its true wartime debut until March 2003. During the invasion of Iraq, 7 Armoured Brigade operated as part of 1st Armoured Division, with 120 Challenger 2s. The tanks saw extensive use during the siege of Basra and provided excellent fire support to British forces. The only loss that was suffered was due to a friendly fire incident, where one Challenger 2 engaged another with its 120 mm gun, knocking the second tank out.
About the Warrior FV510:
The FV510 Warrior Mechanised Combat Vehicle is used by the British Army's armoured infantry battalions. There are a number of other variants, including Command Vehicles, Missile Vehicles, Mechanised Artillery Observation Vehicle (MAOV), Mortar Vehicle, Repair and Recovery Vehicle and Combat Repair Vehicle.
