We'll see how they do. It doesn't seem like any tank is meant to last very long in a war these days. My how the modern battlefield has changed.
Lets be, we see putin from a distance but closer than a inch 😂 sleepers gone
You can't just use tanks you need air support as well .
14 tanks enough to protect the Vatican, I wish the British would grow a pair and allow Stormshadows to hit Kersch bridge, it is the height of cowardice and corruption to protect Putin like this.
Why don't they have the full armor package like in the British army?
This fence is not enough for lenchet, so-called superiority tank
We were better off with the Berlin Wall
Ukrain needs 1000 tanks to walk thru the Russian army. Without that its going to take a little longer.
Challenger tanks will be destroyed by Russia, the most dangerous and powerful battle tank, is the think tank of the commanders of the Ukraine army. If they remain on the defensive and prolong the war, they will defeat Russia. God bless Ukraine🇺🇦.
💪🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦
82nd brigade is a mixture of Americans and British soldiers paratroopers who are going to wear Ukraine uniforms to fight the Russians. These people hate the Russians so much, whoever went to the battlefield as hate has the only motive will not comeback.
Mantaaaaaap
If the Challenger goes into battle it will only be a few hours before Russia is showing it off as a kill! There's a bounty on these tanks! Russia cannot wait to get one! Ukrainian army don't want to drive them as they are 'hot targets'. The day of the tank is over! Drones have seen to that!
Why does the free world expect Ukraine to fight without air power? NATO would not do it ,if we we had leaders like Zelenskyy this war would be over. Think back ,Germany sending helmets, France saying we must not humiliate this little war criminal that wants to block the worlds grain,murder women and children, invade numerous places ???? Pathetic spineless wimps that have actually been voted in, where are the Churchill type people is the best we have in the world ???
Use blue cleaning detergent.
When cope cages first appeared on Russian tanks, the Western media laughed with them. Now the Ukrainians are building cages. Apparently they work well.
An insignificant number of tanks which will be swiftly destroyed. It's time we stopped throwing money we can't afford on to that bonfire.
The return of the "TOMMY COOKER".
We'll see how long THAT lasts.
Металлолом из Англии будет отлично гореть на поле боя! Гарантия армии России!😂😂😂
Glory to Russia 👍
Ukraine committing its last credible reserves and they’ve not even breached Russian defences yet.
Russians have so many captured NATO weapons they actually now have enough experience with them to have a preference for one or the other. Between Javelin and NLAW, the Russians prefer NLAW as it seems to work the same no matter the weather, while the Javelin seems to perform poorly in bad weather. I would laugh for days at the irony if a NATO atgm is the first to take out the Challenger 2. I thought the same two months ago about the Leopard 2, but none of them survived long enough to get close enough to infantry; the mines and Lancets murdered them far from any trench. Ukraine is now close to an actual defense line so much better chance of an infantryman getting that bonus from Putin.
Why don't you show that this tank has already been destroyed😂
I hope that it does not suffer the same fate as the German lepard tanks
UK needs to send at least 200 tanks. No 15
Priority target for the KA attack helos… tanks don't stand a chance without additional air cover
If the F16 had been given earlier?
They will 🔥
Russia can use newly captured javelins if Kornet doesn’t burn 🔥
14 Challengers vs. about 500 T-72B3s and T-80BVMs….
You look after them tanks you only have 14 .
Sending the Ukain just 14 tanks sounds a bit like a bad joke.
The only way this planet will ever be one people is when every citizen rises up and over throws every government in every country.
Then dismantles every nuke only then can every country ( nation ) work together and thrive .
After all were being made to die and fight wars for our governments greed and power we might as well die for something than nothing we all have a right to live on this planet together no matter our skin colour our religions our culture or our sexuality but the goverments around the world start wars therefor choosing when grandfathers grandmother's uncles aunts brothers sisters kids die in senseless wars for there power .
I say down with goverments and weapons of mass destruction and rise to yhe people who have a right to live .
Weve had wars its only loss death and destruction its time we all chose to live and exept each other and thrive as one people and leave the past in the past and make a future as one no matter where we come from were all human .
These will be tougher to crack than rhe leos!
Ukraine 🇺🇦 big respect from 🇬🇧 head up high people! ❤
Hoffentlich tötet jeder Panzer 1500 Orcks . 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦
🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞💞
Jerry must be angry all there Leopard 2A6s are spent and burnt, destroyed like the Tigers and Panthers before them on the very steppes of Ukraine in 1942.
Now watch the Brits with an actual tank save the day.
i can’t wait for them to get fighter jets!!! they should have never been withheld! especially this long. i understand no one wants to provoke WWIII but putin is determined to start it no matter what, they should have listened to Zelensky & others that know what they are dealing with.
guys like Jerome Starkey should not be taken prisoner. 🤪
