Die Briten verwenden keine Uranmunition.
United Kingdom
The UK still has two projectiles with depleted uranium in service – CHARM 1 and CHARM 3, both developed for the Royal Ordnance L30 120mm rifled tank gun. CHARM 1 was developed in the early 90s, CHARM 3 entered service in 1999. The gun and ammo in question are being carried by Challenger 2 MBTs, which are now undergoing a modernization programme. Modernized tanks will be named “Challenger 3” and one of the most significant improvements is the new turret, which will be equipped with the latest Rheinmetall 120mm L55A1 smoothbore gun. Previously relying on the ammunition with a depleted uranium penetrator, it is unlikely that the tanks will be equipped with it in the future, as Rheinmetall does not make APFSDS rounds with DU penetrators and there are no plans on developing and producing such in the future. The new L55A1 gun is optimized for German-made ammunition, allowing the UK to use NATO standard ammo (DM33, DM43, DM53 and DM63) with no depleted uranium penetrators.
However, it must be assumed that CHARM 1 and CHARM 3 still are in service, as the first Challenger 3 tanks are planned to enter into service with the British army by 2030.
