The British Ministry of Defense has completed the training of Ukrainian tank crews in the management of Challenger 2 tanks

Ukrainian tankers who went to the UK to learn how to operate British tanks Challenger 2 have completed their training and have already returned home. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom.

The training of Ukrainian crews for British tanks has been completed, the tankers have already gone back to Ukraine, and Challenger 2 tanks will soon follow them there. tanks. In London, it is assumed that Kyiv deliberately rushed the British with preparations in order to have time to train crews to use British tanks in the planned counteroffensive.



Earlier, the UK promised to deliver the Challenger 2 MBT to Kyiv by the end of March. It is possible that the equipment is already being sent to Poland, from where it will be transferred to Ukraine. At least the AS90 self-propelled guns promised for delivery along with tanks are already partially on Polish territory.

A few days ago, Ukrainian sources reported that the British had set a condition for Kyiv that the Challenger 2 MBT should in no way fall into the hands of the Russian army. According to reports, the British even offered to install explosives in each tank, which could be used remotely. This is necessary in order to destroy all secret equipment in the tank if, for some reason, the evacuation of the tank from the battlefield is not possible.

Prior to this, the British Ministry of Defense developed a plan according to which Ukrainian tankers should take all possible actions to evacuate British tanks from the battlefield if they are damaged and are in danger of falling into the hands of the Russian military.

    And if the lads decide to surrender, will they be remotely torn together with the tank ?? Two tasks in one fell swoop - both the tank and the "traitors Nenka" ??
    Well, it turns out even cooler than "brewed hatches".
    Will the lads not be afraid to fight in such tanks? And then if their maneuver is misunderstood, then they will undermine how much in vain ....

      In addition to tanks, it is also necessary to mine Ukrainian tankers: hang collars with mines around their necks, then they will definitely not give up and will not be taken prisoner.

        Everything is like in the movie The Tower with Christopher Lambert - as soon as they went beyond the perimeter (into the territory controlled by ours) - that's all, immediately auto-detonation. They have already pushed such ideas in the cinema.

    In two weeks, the soil and soil in the database area will dry out, and we will finally see with our own eyes the entire tank menagerie of Germans and Anglo-Saxons ... I wonder how the Ukronats will organize the repair and maintenance of this foreign equipment on the battlefield. what

      Most likely not. There will probably be an evacuation to the rear and sending to Poland. They will repair it there.

    British! You plainly say - installed or not. In general, the idea is good, they will blow up Ukrainian tankers remotely, in advance, so that they don’t tell anything when they are taken prisoner.

    Kyiv specifically hurried the British with preparations in order to have time to train the crews to use British tanks in the planned counteroffensive
    I hope the rush to prepare will not benefit the Ukrainian crews.

    It’s not clear to me ... if they put explosives in a tank for self-detonation, will it detonate from a blow to the hull of some kind of ammunition ... or a 152 mm shell from our howitzer will explode nearby ... what will happen?

    An interesting specialty for tankers turned out - a mechanic-driver of a rather rare tank ... Such specialization is not good.

    Well, now newborns in Ukra will be called Challengers ....
    A new source of worship...
    P.S. personally for my generation, the word Challenger is an American rocket launcher that beautifully exploded in the first half ... The whole USSR admired these beautiful shots ....

      So these "tanks" were tested in the Middle East and proved to be not bad, it was not in vain that they received the nickname "impenetrable".

    Yes, in Europe you can warm up a lot of such conflicts ... Gibraltar, Northern Cyprus, the Basques in Spain and then ... there would be a desire.

    it is necessary to offer a good ransom for samples of NATO technology. distrust in the camp of the enemy is the best way to weaken him.
