on: Ukrainian soldiers arrive in Britain for tank training
As an ex Challenger 2 crewman, I'm interested to see how this goes. However the UK wont want any damaged ones getting into the hands of the Russians as the Chobham armour is one of the many advantages that the Challenger 2 has over the T series tanks.

on: The US Marines Got Rid of Their Tanks. Is Ukraine Making Them Look Smart?
Russians don't seem to be using them very effectively either. A lot of the destroyed ones I've seen have been bogged in fields or static in convoys. Looks like poorly trained crews and tank commanders not using the mobility of a tank properly. Plus a lot of the tanks look super poorly maintained. I used to be a Challenger 2 crewman and if I'd kept my wagon in that state, I would have got some percussive encouragement to get my s*t sorted out.
