Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank going with a smoothbore gun going forward?

For 1st time ever, i believe, we have an official Army paper saying CHALLENGER 2's rifled gun is to be replaced. Non better specified "enhancements" to the powerpack as well. Notably, when LEP started, there was reluctance in admitting these were the real problems... Alleluia! https://t.co/9eAtmEnJkN

Wow.

The Brits are on a roll it would seem.  The British Army is actually going to dump the rifled barrel and going smoothbore?

Just wow.

So this little ditty is actually gonna be?
