At the moment, the Hussars are using the Challenger II tank, which is made by Vickers Defence Systems, which was deployed into the British Army in 1998.
Here are five more interesting facts about the tank.
Forget Ferrari and Bentleys, the Challenger II costs £1.8m each - and there's no cigarette lighter.
Despite being 60 tonnes in weight, the tank is capable of 70kph on the road - whether going forwards for backwards.
The tank is probably the safest place to be in battle with its nuclear, biological and chemical protection system.
The tank is powered by a 1200 horse power V12 diesel engine and has a second engine the size of a Mini's just to power its electrical system.
Inside the tank is completely self-sufficient and even boasts a kettle, making it the envy of tank crews across the world who can't have a cup of tea at the end of the day.
