The Tank Cruiser Challenger (A30) was a British tank of World War II. It mounted the 17 Pounder gun on a chassis derived from the Cromwell tank to add heavier anti-tank firepower to the cruiser tank units.The design compromises made in fitting the large gun onto the Cromwell chassis resulted in a tank with a powerful weapon but with less armour.
