Introduction to the SDR and UK Armoured Formations

1/25 The UK’s Strategic Defence Review (SDR) of envisions a British Army to deter Russia, focusing on the High North and Central Europe. With XXX Challenger X tanks (120mm smoothbore), XXX Ajax, and XXX Boxer vehicles, how can the UK deliver credible armoured capability? This thread explores formations, shortfalls, and what’s achievable. Views are my own, thread is to start the debate.

Some say the Army lost out in the SDR - this thread hopes to inform that debate.

For more detailed understanding of armour and its use I recommend  @nicholadrummond
