This doesn't match previous descriptions of the Record breaking shot i've

seen variously quoted as 5000m, 5000yds and 5 miles, 3000m is the lowest
range figure by far

It certainly was NOT a Challenger II, The II didn't exist in 1991, all the
British Tanks deployed in Desert Storm were Chalenger I's

I've got a vague memory of that and I believe it was a French shot.
