Please don't call it a Chally, it sounds so effeminate...

They're wearing gas masks because this is most likely taken during the first gulf war, nearly all ground forces were forced to wear gas masks simply because commanders were scared of NBC attacks by the Iraqis.

Well they're reducing the number of Challenger 2's in the British Army (along with everything else), Tis rather stupid since modern conventional warfare pretty much revolves around armoured units fighting each other, but they're conveniently increasing funding to special forces and cyber defence.
