Answer

Maria Eagle

We do not routinely disclose a breakdown of total capability fleets in the interests of security and operational effectiveness.

However, the total fleet figures of Challenger 2, Warrior and Protected Mobility Vehicles since 2016 can be found in the annual UK Armed Forces Equipment and Formations statistics. This is accessible here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-armed-forces-equipment-and-formations.
