The UK will provide Ukraine with a new batch of military aid, which, in addition to tanks Challenger 2 will also include FV430 Mk3 Bulldog armored personnel carriers. The total number of armored vehicles will exceed a hundred units, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace said.

Wallace stated.

In addition, Britain will send Ukraine 100 155mm artillery shells, missiles GMLRS for MLRS, Starstreak man-portable air defense systems, reconnaissance Drones for artillery, spare parts for tanks and armored vehicles. According to Wallace, the transferred weapons will help the Ukrainian army turn the tide on the battlefield and push Russian troops out of "Ukrainian territory."

Earlier, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that Britain would transfer a squadron of 2 Challenger 14 tanks to Ukraine. No word on delivery dates yet.

The FV430 MK.3 Bulldog tracked armored personnel carrier is an improved version of the FV430 armored personnel carrier, designed specifically for British units in Iraq. Combat weight 13 tons. Crew 2 people + landing 10 people. The maximum speed is 72 km / h, the cruising range is 590 km (on the highway), the fuel supply is 454 liters per 590 km. Armament - one 7,62 mm machine gun, smoke installation system.

      Few people have seen such a contraption, but it looks well protected. Let's see how it burns. For us, the show is delivered, we will watch spellbound. )))

        For anti-tank weapons with a tandem warhead, the dynamic protection of this freak is not a problem. The same competition will burn this box.

      I looked at the pictures in Yandex. judging by the break in the roof, this is an ancient "trougen" I don’t even know, probably 50-60 years of production. just modified.

    I hope all British military equipment is not the best quality of the British car industry.
    And if at about the same level, then let them deliver. In this case, 80 percent will not reach LBS at all.

      Yes, the minicooper is nothing like a machine, you can’t compare it with a grant.
      Another thing is that their armored personnel carriers are still better than pickups and bandermobiles, in terms of protection and capacity. Although spare parts and service staff is still a question, and it also eats fuel well. The machine gun is also not for infantry support, but rather for self-defense on the march from other partisans.

        The one that is the first mini is not at all better than our grants / eight, and the current one is already a BMW. and so the entire British car industry came under the wing of the Germans. I don’t know anything about British armored personnel carriers, but in the USA everything done in the UK is considered frank g..om.

          . and so the entire British car industry came under the wing of the Germans

          The title British brands - Range and Jaguar, were bought by the Indian Tata Motors
          not at all better than our grant

          The British don't make cheap cars.

          With expensive stamps, bribes are smooth. They're made to the limit, to impress the rich. Buy a new Range - and ride on your health, you won't know any problems

          Complaints about reliability come from those who wanted to save money and pretend to be rich by taking a stale Range Rover.

      The series was IT Crowd ... British ... they had a fire extinguisher on fire there ... they ironically looked at the inscription made in Britain and, like, they say ... well ... now I understand ...
      I think within each country they treat their creations with a share of skepticism and either terribly hate or extol similar products from other countries

    the weapons are weak, so, only the movement of personnel, but most likely to show off in front of other European countries .....

      Well, but there is protection, everyone is hung, of course, for the transportation of infantry. One good thing is that the fleet of Western equipment is recognizable by the silhouettes that you can extinguish such without hesitation, without thinking about your own or not.

      .... no need .. the specific load on the ground is 1.06 kg per sq. cm ... in the conditions of the black earth, with complete impassability, it will drown in the soil ... and this is a cursory calculation without a body kit ... with a body kit, all 2 kg per cm square will tighten .... oh, genders don’t teach history .. but in vain

    An improved version as "on order" was created for Ukraine, taking into account the exodus of the British army from Iraq. The bulldog in Ukraine will be caressed into trophies or in analysis, the most important thing is to know the approach!

    They transfer a set of equipment to an incomplete motorized rifle brigade, if combined with the armored vehicles and self-propelled guns that were supplied earlier, a full-blooded motorized rifle brigade reinforced by a tank company will come out.


    Five countries can throw in 1-2 Leopard 2 companies, throw in an additional BMP/APC, and you have a tank brigade. The US can single-handedly supply a set for a tank brigade. One reinforced motorized rifle and two tank brigades is an extremely serious force. The formation can be completed by the end of the month, if training is underway now.

      DZ - armored steel screens - the main armor. Machine guns will not take such armor in principle, a 30 mm cannon is only point-blank and that is not a fact. Only 100-125 mm crowbars and tandem cumulatives will surely penetrate.

      A lot of people who are not there yet will have to look at it from the trench. And how the nightingale flooded, they say, in three days we will take the kuev. How did it happen that the invincible and legendary were no longer afraid? All these deliveries and entire units, the same psheks, at the front, are the result of not very intelligible actions of the RF Armed Forces. The enemies were emboldened.
      And as a betor, a decent machine. Its main function is to deliver the infantry squad alive to the PB, it performs properly. By the way, sticking the 7,62 krupnach into place is no problem. The turret mount allows you to push the M-2HB kingpin. The Brits did it. And on many tower stands. If desired, you can install the module.

    Together with the package of military assistance, Britanovelikiy cannot prepare a package of debt claims to Ukraine. How will they pay, attic (or heartless)? Either they hope for Russian reparations and indemnities, or they do not exclude that Pan Komedian will work off the state debts by acting on the stage, he will be able to do it. True, it will take a long time to play something. Life is not enough.

    Clearly, a serious thrust to the east is being prepared, perhaps the last one, without the obvious participation of NATO. It is impossible to fight for a long time with such a motley mass of equipment.
