Programmes to upgrade the British Army’s Challenger 2 main battle tanks and Warrior infantry fighting vehicles had been projected to receive their main gate approval to move to contract in December 2020 but senior Ministry of Defence (MoD) sources say this will now not take place until March or April at the earliest. Lieutenant General Christopher Tickell, deputy chief of the British Army General Staff, told the UK parliament’s defence committee in October 2020 that he expected the two programmes to be considered for main gate approval before the end of last year.
