More info:

The Warrior tracked armoured vehicle is a British infantry fighting vehicle that has been in service since 1987. It was designed to replace the older FV430 series of armoured vehicles and to keep up with the speed and firepower of the Challenger 1 main battle tank. The Warrior has a three-man crew and can carry seven or ten infantry soldiers depending on the variant. It is armed with a 30 mm RARDEN cannon and a coaxial 7.62 mm chain gun.
The Warrior has an aluminium hull with appliqué armour for protection against small arms fire and anti-tank weapons. The Warrior has been deployed in various conflicts, such as the Gulf War, the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan. The Warrior is currently undergoing a major upgrade programme called Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme (WCSP), which will improve its mobility, survivability, lethality and situational awareness.
