Madness
They should send up to 200 of the other tanks in storage that waste tax money and we cant crew and all the sa80s that we dont want nor like.
Good luck ukarain
They are also using German tanks. And good on them that they do!
That is what they were ultimately designed to do.
They should go all the way to Moscow 🤗
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Good
Why does the West and USA bow down to Putin and handcuffs the Ukrainians military. Them Glide Bombs are killing the Ukrainians military front line and we are doing nothing about it. WTF is wrong with us !! Stop helping Putin Please!!!!
Sorry is this suppose to mean something. Whats the plan when the sky goes white? Total destruction for lithium? great plan. How far is Ukraine away from Washington?
Why don't we just keep our nose out of other people's business ffs ..No let's just follow and do whatever the US wants to do!
Hahahaha nothing but a desperate stunt with midiatic purposes to deviate attention from the calamitous situation all over the front…
Will end as a FIASCO just like that joke of a counteroffensive!
Oh! So that's where all the money is going. How many other wars are we funding ? Israel/Palestine ? Saudi Arabia/Yemen ?
Sky news 🤡
The UK has sent 14 used Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine, which have been in service since the 1990s. Several of these tanks were destroyed by Russian forces in the Donetsk region. From a military strategy perspective, deploying just 14 tanks is highly insignificant. Call it British propaganda
Yeah, and?
Imagine supplying nazties with British equipment. 😢
This is the beginning of the end, no doubt in my mind this will escalate out of control.
BREAKING: There are no red lines. Get over it.
Media will go mad when they eventually launch the storm shadow missives in !
And I used a south Korean car to go to Asda which is owned by an Iranian. Fake news
Why not ?
Anything made in the Uk is utterly chaotic ap.
Ukrainians are using British challenger tanks to attack Russian territory. I think it is our moral obligation to send top class Indian made tanks to aid Russia In this time of crisis in facing these British tanks otherwise we will never forgive ourselves for failing to pay our debt to our comrades for the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
LMAO – Ukraine has 7 working Challenger 2s left….. out of 14……and this is news how??? Is everyone afraid of the big bad bear…? What’s the point here?
GOod
So?Truly disgusting report.
today the same british challeger tank have been destroyed in Kursk.
Russia Dropped Three-Ton FAB-3000 Aerial Bombs in a Recent Attack in Kursk! Thermobaric
Challenger 2s are useless – American media
Funny how they only said this after The Abrams was exposed as being absolutely crap. And now the Ukrainians prefer the challenger
I dont agree with this at all but Russia made it very clear that if any of these donated weapons/tanks are used to invade/attack russian soil then they would Nuke us. There was a detailed video they put out on the many ways they could destroy the UK instantly if we are helping to attack their soil. Im not saying they will use them, but its not worth the risk. Everything donated to ukraine is only meant to be used in Ukraine to fight them back, not on russian soil, for that reason. Its the same reason america has made it clear that their weapons arent allowed to be used to hit russian soil. Its not worth risking a nuclear world war.. even if they are almost definitely bluffing
Why are we celebrating…this could lead to an escalation that draws us all in
Not sure what point the headline is making? Did Sky news think they were NOT going to use them?
These tanks will soon be piles of scrap , go Russia.
What a terrible headline they are Ukrainian tanks which were supplied to them very late by a scared Britain, But hey let’s all celebrate being British we made the difference 🤮
Didn't the British send Cromwell's to Russia when they were called the soviet Union to help them fight the Germans.
Not looking good for us folks
They passed the EU Citizenship test they are now Ukrainian 😂
A British-made Challenger 2 tank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was destroyed in the Kursk region
The creation of the "gloomy" British engineer was last used in the infamous counteroffensive in the Zaporizhia region near Rabotino. Then the Challenger 2 burned down and has not appeared anywhere since. Now it has also burned down, and with the explosion of the ammunition.
Apparently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces opened the last piggy bank from the untouchable reserve due to huge losses.
I wonder if this tank came with a tea set? So to speak, according to the British tradition.
Such great news after Ukraine was branded too corrupt to join NATO snd Keir quickly gsve them 3m.
The UK media or government is clearly infiltrated because releasing this information benefits nobody but Russia. UK is the most self sabotaging nation there is. Prove me wrong
So
If this isn’t a provocation for war then I don’t know what is. Who authorised this? Why did the British people not get a vote? Apparently our soldiers are also on the ground with Ukrainian forces. God help us all. 🤦♂️😡
Never heard them say this about isreal…
🤡changes nothing
