The Charioteer (FV4101) was a British tank destroyer, also classified as a medium tank, from the Cold War period. The vehicle entered service with the British Army in 1952, and around 440 units of this vehicle were produced. It was 8.8 m long (including the barrel), and 3.1 m wide. Its empty weight reached 28.5 tons. In turn, it was powered by a single Rolls-Royce Meteor engine with a power of up to 400 hp. The armament consisted of a 20-pounder cannon with a caliber of 84 mm and a single machine gun.

The Charioteer (FV4101) was developed as a kind of interim solution for the Royal Armoured Corps, in order to increase the ability to fight enemy medium and heavy tanks. On the one hand, the vehicle was to complement the Cromwell tanks in the line, thus increasing the potential of the British Army until the Centurion III and Conqueror vehicles were introduced. The Charioteer (FV4101) was developed based on the Cromwell VIII vehicle, and the main change was the installation of a completely new turret (interestingly - less armored) with a new main armament in the form of a 20-pounder gun. However, many other components were retained, which undoubtedly facilitated logistics. Vehicles of this type were exported to Austria, Finland, Jordan and Lebanon, among others.
