Challenger Tank Destroyed in Ukraine

"It was always going to happen.
How many Russian tanks did it take out first though?
"
According to the drone images, it took 4 BMP’s before being destroyed by an artillery strike. Would suggest it was running rampant over the Russians |

Most nato countries are moving away from tanks anyway, in the modern world of drones, and good infantry anti tank weapons the threat of tanks as diminished.
In Afghan they were pretty much resigned to being a fixed gun platform in FOBs

Apparently none!
It appears it was immobilised by a mine, the crew disembarked ( all unhurt! ) then it was hit by a kamikaze drone!
It is unclear at the moment whether it is salvageable  |

"We are not as invincible as we thought,?"
Didn’t invincibility increase when we left the EU? Surely that was one of he main benefits? Getting back to the days when Britannia ruled the waves?
I’m beginning to think some of the leave camp might have been lying to us.

We were told that a mixture of Challengers, Leopards and Abraham tanks would be game changers. Yet to see it. The Italians and French have spent specially adapted Leopards with one forward gear and six reverse... |

If you’re going to use casual xenophobic stereotyping, at least get the spelling right. I can see this ending up all over the news.
