Why is the British Army disbanding Tanks? - BRITISH ARMY ENDING CHALLENGER 2 AND WARRIOR

The British Army could scrap all its TANKS under a cost-cutting and modernization plan that would see it switch to focus on cyber-warfare and other 21st century threats.

The Challenger II has been the UK's main tank since the late 1990s, with cavalry regiments using it in Iraq. There are around 227 in service.

The Warrior, of which there are almost 400, has been in service since the 1980s.

Britain already sounding out Nato partners about giving up its heavy armour and focusing instead on aviation and cyber warfare, the Times reported.

A government source told the newspaper: 'We know that a number of bold decisions need to be taken in order to properly protect British security and rebalance defence interests to meet the new threats we face.'

It comes after senior MPs demanded Boris Johnson's chief aide Dominic Cummings submit to questioning about his involvement in a major review of the UK's defence and security capabilities.

Labour's shadow defence secretary John Healey said: 'This Government has shown time and time again that it lacks the strategy and competence needed to maintain our national defences, with little to show from a decade in power other than a shortage of troops and an equipment funding black hole.'
