Pounds.

This is coolbert:

The British army had just won the war.

And with what you ask.

The British Ministry of Defense [MoD] not so keen after all on totally removing from the inventory all heavy armor units [main battle tanks].

Challenger tanks to be upgraded and refurbished. A slightly greater than regimental sized contingent no less. Challenger lives.

"UK Military Spends £800 mln [million pounds] on More Than a Hundred Challenger 3 Tanks"

"According to the UK Defence Ministry, the vehicle will be the UK's first fully-digitised tank."

"The British Defence Ministry has awarded the Anglo-German military vehicle production joint venture Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land an £800 million ($1 billion) contract to supply the Army with 148 upgraded tanks."

"The vehicles will be produced at the company’s plant in Telford, Shropshire, however, it would be an upgrade of an existing Challenger 2 main battle tank, rather than production from scratch."
