Britain is Considering Scrapping All its Tanks, Saying They are Less Useful in Modern Warfare
alienmilitary - The report quotes anonymous government sources as saying that the British government ministers questioned the value of retaining tank units, currently there are 227 "Challenger 2" tanks and 388 "Warrior" armored vehicles.
In recent years, the United Kingdom has steadily reduced its emphasis on heavy armor and placed increasing emphasis on air and cyber warfare, with 21st-century combat believed to be fought in cities, and cyber information technology playing an increasingly important role.
Discussions on the abandonment of tanks are part of the British Government's foreign policy and defense plans, although it has been temporarily put on hold due to financial difficulties caused by the New Crown epidemic.
Currently, Russia, the US, and China are in the top three with 12,950, 6,333 and 5,800 tanks respectively, while Uganda has 239, Germany has 236 and Argentina has 231, with the UK having fewer tanks than any of these countries. (END)
