About this vehicle

A project for a promising tank developed by the Royal Armoured Corps in 1968 and designated COMBAT ARM TANK. The following priorities were set for the vehicle's development: firepower, mobility, defense, and a crew as small as possible. The tank was supposed to be used by the Royal Armoured Corps and the Infantry (combat arms); however, due to a change in plans for the development of the British Army the vehicle was no longer required and the project was terminated.
