I was referring to the Challenger 1 upgrade program, just after the gulf war several Challengers recieved various upgrades prior to the Chally 2 coming online. After the Chally 2 entered full production there was no need to upgrade the Chally 1 anymore.

Officialy the Chally 2 entered service in '98 but they began production in '93/'94 so I'm thinking that they would of been rushed into service when war became inevitable,perhaps enough to equip the BOAR?
