Comparing: Challenger vs. Jagdpanther

Created in 1942 based on the extended chassis of the Cromwell. One definite advantage of the new vehicle was its 17-pounder gun, which was the most powerful British gun at that time. This allowed the tank destroyer to effectively hit the enemy at distances up to 1,000 meters. However, the vehicle had a large silhouette and the chassis was overloaded. A total of about 200 vehicles were built.

Development of this tank destroyer, based on the chassis of the new VK 30.02 (MAN) tank, began in 1942. In October 1943, the prototype trials were started. A total of 392 vehicles were manufactured.
