Head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Reznikov: British Challenger 2 tanks are ready to perform combat missions on the battlefield

The head of the Ukrainian military department, Oleksiy Reznikov, continues to write enthusiastic posts on social networks and take pictures against the backdrop of Western armored vehicles that arrived in Ukraine. The Ukrainian minister made another entry after Kiev received British tanks Challengers 2.

By the end of March, Western sponsors of the Kyiv regime delivered most of the armored vehicles promised to Ukraine, including tanks. Following the German Leopard 2A6 MBTs, the British Challenger 2 arrived in Ukraine. Ukrainian Minister of Defense Reznikov not only managed to arrange a photo session against the backdrop of Western armored vehicles, but also promised that in the near future the tanks would go to the front line to perform combat missions.

The tanks donated by Great Britain have recently arrived in our country. These fantastic machines will soon begin to perform their combat missions.

- he wrote in one of the social networks banned in Russia, not forgetting to express his gratitude to Rishi Sunak and Ben Wallace.

As previously reported, the British delivered 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine, preparing Ukrainian crews for them.

Meanwhile, confirmation of the transfer of Leopard 2A6 tanks by Germany to Ukraine has appeared, this was officially announced by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. At the same time, he stressed that Berlin is a "reliable partner" for Kyiv, and even exceeded its obligations by transferring not 14, but 18 tanks.

Our tanks, as promised, arrived on time in the hands of Ukrainian friends. I'm sure they can do something important at the front! Together with Sweden and Portugal, we laid down a battle group

- he added.

We are waiting for the video of the burning ..........

[Egeny]

as in a joke ... will they go in a column or in a row?

[tralflot1832]

A column along the road, Descent towards death. Ours began to use remote mining in front of the attackers and at the same time processed the rear.

[Romario_Argo]

Wagner PMCs are already massively using 120-mm guided mines KM-8 Edge
not a single NATO tank will withstand the arrival of the KM-8 from above into the tower

[ABC-schutze]

"The tanks that the UK donated have recently arrived in our country. These fantastic vehicles will soon begin to perform their combat missions ..."
************************************************** ****************************************
Yeah ...

It turns out that the Kyiv Bandero-Natsiks have "just a little" left - to find their "fantastic Guderian". Or "write out" one from the islanders ...

British Challenger 2 tanks ready for combat missions on the battlefield

Are all three ready?

[boris ivanov]

Where does such a capricious attitude come from? Maybe you know something? Share with us too!

[Ivan Ivanov]

That's why, your division, they ended up there? "They took them at night, hid them," as uv said. the president?

[Nexcom]

Yes you are right. For good, they should have been burned at the stage of transportation. As soon as we got to the territory of 404.

[tralflot1832]

Catching a trailer on the road is not really difficult. And it is dangerous to carry a piece of iron.

[Trapp1st]

Catching a trailer on the road is not really difficult

From February 24, 2022, for good, not a single truck should have crossed the border, no matter in which direction.

And it's dangerous to carry a piece of iron.

For rent, they carry not only a piece of iron, but also dry cargo ships, hello to the Kremlin sages with their grain deal.

[Yarik]

No, all the junk of the Britons is being transported by wagons. Europe is full of videos on the transportation of British equipment on the roads of Europe on auto tractors

[Boniface]

The width of the tank will not fit in Furu! The leopard has a width of 3,7 m - a wagon 2,45 m wide and a wagon height of 2,5 m and a leopard 2,79! The tank is hardly standing on the railway platform! It won’t fit into a truck - except for a special auto-trawl

[ABC-schutze]

In real life, they transport "both the one and the other." And taking into account the ongoing NATO exercises in the territories of the NATO neophytes adjacent to the Russian borders, they could also be transferred by sea ...

I believe that it is irrational to "catch" the tanks supplied to the Kyiv Bandero-Nazis "in bulk" "single". We must carefully monitor. And start "disposal" when their bulk has already been delivered to the territory of the former united Ukraine. And "utilize" them with massive strikes, in places of potential concentration. Already together with trained and staffed personnel. Which is unlikely to be located at a "significant distance" from the delivered tanks ...

[Romario_Argo]

as an option, we want to test new weapons against NATO tanks in battle
UASs, ATGMs

[novel66]

It seems to me - somewhere they dug an underground passage

[Egeny]

Well, yes, there is experience, after all they dug up the Black Sea.)

[digger]

We have already tested modernized Lancets at the front with increased combat power and a charge ... just capable of undermining tanks and heavy armored vehicles. The lancets are looking forward to these challengers.

[Nexcom]

Helicopter pilots, I think, have also stopped working now ....

[Nesvoy]

What is it with? Launching nurses from a roll-up?

[tralflot1832]

Why only helicopter pilots, and others that we don’t get that there’s nothing to bang, for starters, tear off the caterpillar.

[Nexcom]

Well, there are anti-tank helicopter-carrying weapons. if I'm not mistaken, up to 15 km range. Here they will try it.
Yes, I think there is probably something to bang on their tanks.

[Filibuster]

Offer the Armed Forces a good reward of a million dollars for the delivery of a whole Challenger-2 or Leopard-2 tank to the Russian troops.

[Nexcom]

The Britos offered to mine the tanks so that they would not be captured. They wrote about it. Maybe a duck, maybe they will really mine .... They will become.

[Filibuster]

Probably, it is possible to clear mine too?

[Nexcom]

They wrote about the possibility of remote detonation - that is. like how they see that the crew of the sharovarny decided to screw together with the tank to ours - so it’s a mustache, ala hula and the tank and the crew. Or maybe they’re lying - like psychological pressure on the crew, so that they don’t feel like slipping into captivity on a tank.

[Derbes19]

Do they have an "All-Seeing Eye" there? How will they see that the crew is about to dump?

[volodimer]

Last year, they wrote that all the tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are equipped with sensors that transmit their location to the command. Type to control the battle and understand "where, who and how." And that because of these sensors, according to the location of the rembats, where the captured tanks were dragged, there were arrivals. It seems that they then learned to jam and shoot them, but warnings about such tricks spread.
It is possible that now every British tank will have an operator with a quadrocopter, on which the equipment is controlled by remote detonation. The crew abandons the tank or fails to follow orders, immediately the command to undermine.

[tralflot1832]

This is stupid, in the Challenger only the Chobham armor is secret, but it will remain anyway.

[Nexcom]

I didn't say it was smart. Yes, and this armor is from the 80s. The original Chobham - with a uranium power mesh inside - uranium power rods (framework) and a uranium mesh between them - all this is melted into a non-uranium multilayer. Roughly speaking, and the whole focus.
And they seemed to want to supply Ukraine without uranium inserts so that ours would not get it in the form of a trophy.

[tralflot1832]

This is interesting, they will disassemble the armor. Challengers are not produced in England, only Challenger 3 and it’s not clear where the modernization will be in Germany or England. If you have a sample, you can find out the production technology. protection.

[Nexcom]

It seems that the Israelis have already developed for Abrash. But of course, such ukram will not get it.

[Derbes19]

They put active protection on the Abrams. Dynamic is different.

[Woroshilow]

They have a variant of Abrams and with dynamic protection, in my opinion it is called a kit for urban combat.

[Woroshilow]

Are you talking about KAZ Trophy? "The text of your comment is too short and, according to the site administration, does not contain useful information."

[blackGRAIL]

The Challenger does not have a version with uranium armor. The only ones who decided on this were the Americans with their Abrams.

[Woroshilow]

Download War Thunder, go to the British branch, select Challenger 2, turn on the security analysis, look at the composition of the secret Chobham armor)) Well, this is a joke, of course, it just indicates the approximate equivalent of the reservation, do you understand, or will you go to download the client?)

[novel66]

It is better to carry out combat missions in the rear - it's safer

[AshPoseidon]

I just remembered an anecdote. Stirlitz walked through the forest.
A caterpillar fell by the collar.
"Somewhere exploded tank" — thought Stirlitz.

[Alexandr2637]

I just remembered an anecdote. Stirlitz walked through the forest.
A caterpillar fell by the collar.

We will later recall and tell jokes if this caterpillar is not from our tank.

[certero]

I read cheers patriotic comments about burning tanks and remember the echelon of modernized T-62s.
Does any of the cheers of the patriots want to fight on the t-62 with a leopard 2 a6?
The truth is that the enemy receives very powerful and serious and modern weapons, but for some reason our army receives old equipment.
For more than a year, we have not seen a single armata in battle, not a single tank with an active protection complex.

[Nexcom]

Well, what to do .... Well, now let's all shoot ourselves from this, to the delight of pen dos not, Britos and sharers ....

[Pavel73]

Has anyone ever seen Challengers and Leopards in Ukraine? So that a photo or video clearly proves this. A specific place, objects in the frame. Yellow-black flags on tanks and even the Minister of Defense against their background still prove nothing. This can be photographed anywhere, in the same Poland for example.

[tralflot1832]

How many T62s were delivered? The deputy - the general talks about the battalion and that's it. The West eats this cranberry and distributes it to Russia. Yes, ours are trying.

[Bumblebee]

800. --The text of your comment is too short and, according to the site administration, does not contain useful information--

[Nesvoy]

Urapatriots are more comfortable fighting on the couch.

[Konnick]

Such "smart" people are hard to find even among patriots. Why, one asks, fight a tank on a tank?
There are Ataka-9M120 missiles, which are installed on Shturm-S and most helicopters.

That is, do you seriously think that ours are fighting exclusively on the T-62? And what exactly will the T-62s clash with the fantastic Leopards and Challengers in tank battles? And you have never heard about the fact that the Russian army has T-90, Ka-50, Su-25, Cornets, Lancets, etc.?

What the hell do we have there. I saw armor at the parade, but for some reason it is not in battle.
I read drop dead cool reviews about our VKS, only for some reason the enemy is transferring his reserves even in the near rear without any impact.
I know about the presence in our army of excellent systems with anti-tank guns on board, only in the video where one of our T-72s is fighting with an entire battalion group of Ukrainians, there were no other vehicles.
I also saw a video where Ukrainian tankers learn to drive challenger tanks using a specially prepared vehicle with a large booth instead of a tower, where both the instructor and trainees sit, but I don’t remember such things in our army.
And I also remember how a year ago Western countries were afraid to supply even grenade launchers ...
So while we see exactly what I wrote, our t-62s are going to fight and the enemy gets leopards 2 a6

[nik-mazur]

It is clear - the point of view is formed by pictures on the Internet. No more questions.

[blackGRAIL]

I have not heard about the Ka-50. Heard they don't exist anymore.

[Vladimir 290]

Yes, a balanced position is really needed and hatred is unacceptable. But at the same time, shouting everything is gone and saying that we only have T62 left is also wrong. that you have become attached to these fittings, who knows how they are used or tested, maybe they did not justify themselves, this has already happened more than once. Why should the Defense Ministry report to the "spectators" about the presence of active protection or new (or experimental) weapons. Yes, the T62 is old, but if there are thousands of them in storage, then it may be possible to use them to perform certain tasks. I would like to have only new and modern technology, but there is also the economy.

[certero]

Quote: Vladimir 290

Maybe because we are citizens of Russia, and including with our money the Ministry of Defense creates or does not create new equipment? Or because there in the T-62 tanks our guys who should have been in much more protected T-14s will burn?

[spektr9]

Or because there in the T-62 tanks our guys who should have been in much more protected T-14s will burn?

You are crucifying the wrong audience here, which is 100% sure that it will not hit the SVO, so caps and shouts of "uryayaya" fly to the top ... Push one of them from the sofa into a real SVO on a BMP-1 or T-62 , so there will be such a squeal

[Bumblebee]

It smells like nonsense)) The Ministry of Defense will not report, the vidos and photos will be thrown off by the participants of the NWO as soon as they see Almaty on the front line, also with AZ and new weapons. Can't hide for long

[AdAstra]

Well, here are all pensioners with age, it’s not for them to be in the calculation of the ptur, who is trying to do badly to that tank, and it’s not a fact that this attempt will be successful. You still remember the train with the T-62, I generally remember the train with the T-54/55, which are supposedly "for spare parts for the T-62."

[rotmistr60]

Reznikov continues to write enthusiastic posts on social networks

In addition to writing enthusiastic posts like "These fantastic machines will soon begin to carry out their combat missions," he also knows how to smile broadly and on duty on all sorts of ramsteins, pretend that he is on the same foot with everyone and is generally the best friend of NATO. And the German minister with the surname Pistorius there too

I'm sure they can do something important at the front!

and gave 4 tanks more than promised. Americans are simply obliged to praise.

[Roma 1977]

Another miracle weapon? A tank in a war is an ordinary consumable. And the best way to keep it is not to take it out of boxing. Moreover, tanks are consumed not even because they are hit on the battlefield, but mainly because of the resource consumption, even if it just rides. And if it meets with an enemy helicopter ...

[expert]

The enemy has so publicized the receipt of "British" and "Germans" that, I think, they have already become one of the highest priority targets, along with "HIMARS" (M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System).
I am sure that they will be constantly hunted.
I sincerely wish good luck to the Russian tank destroyers. I hope the result will be better than with the Chimeras.

[Pavel73]

That's the whole point. When a weapon is about to be actually used, it is never announced in advance. If only because the enemy will have time to take action. They ring when they want to create an illusion for someone. Military aid, for example.

[Bodipancher]

I hope intelligence will reveal where they hid them and birds will fly there

Yes and some mirage fighters (sponsored)by UEA to stay politically addicted friends with the The US Are coming soon including with some other toys. Everyone have his own agenda War is a shitty business!

Like it or not, every tank is a problem.
If we were advancing rapidly, one could laugh, but with a shaky balance of a thin front, a local superiority of the enemy could be fatal.

[opposite28]

So the dream of British designers came true ... before the first "Bassoon" or "Competition", or maybe the "Whirlwind" will blow away.

[lukash66]

Fairy fool. Another wunderwaffe. If the fighters of the Red Army quite effectively fought these waffles starting from the age of 42 near Leningrad and with their massive use in 43 near Kharkov, Kursk and beyond. And the situation there was more complicated than it is now. And then they found the antidote. Not to mention the 44-45s, when a comparable BTT appeared in the Red Army in mass quantities, then with modern anti-tank weapons this will not be some kind of super task. Especially if they are thrown into a counteroffensive. And there it is still unknown where they will have a worse time. Or in continuous urban agglomerations in the Donbass, or in the steppes near Zaporozhye and Kherson.

[Vladimir Dmitrievich Burtsev]

The museum of Arkhangelsk already has one English tank from the time of the Entente intervention in 1918. Inglizi draped from Arkhangelsk just a few months after the start of the intervention. That the British, that the French, that the Americans, they are all bad warriors. But first you need to give them all a HO-RO-O-THE Kick in the ASS, then they immediately begin to understand everything and become accommodating. They will become understanding when their fighters are taken home with a load of 200, and who will simply be thrown under the bushes somewhere in the square. As in Vietnam, they are good fellows against a sheep, and against a good fellow they themselves are like a sheep.

Blah blah blah that's all. The real picture is much more serious and probably not three tanks were given (as they say in the media) and there is someone to fight

[BIGLESHIY]

The tanks are fancy, of course, but look at the Chela turret, 3/4 of the hull length. From above it will be difficult to miss the roof.
