British heavy tanks Challenger 2 arrived in Ukraine

The Minister of Defense of Ukraine announced the transfer of British Challenger 2 tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The first batch of heavy combat vehicles Challenger 2 entered service with the Ukrainian army. The exact number of tanks transferred to Ukraine is not called, however, in all likelihood, we are not talking about the complete transfer of weapons, since some of the combat vehicles are still being prepared for the transfer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The statement of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov on the transfer of Challenger 2 tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine was made against the background of the completion of training of the Ukrainian military in the use of this Western military equipment. At the same time, at the moment it is known that the tanks were transferred to the air assault units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but no other specifics are provided on this account.

Despite the fact that London did not officially announce the transfer of these combat vehicles to Ukraine, it is known that the photo posted in the public domain by Alexei Reznikov was taken on the territory of Ukraine. This, among other things, is indicated by the presence in the picture of military equipment from other countries that are already in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In particular, we are talking about Stryker armored personnel carriers, Cougar armored vehicles and German Marder infantry fighting vehicles, which Avia.pro journalists have already reported about earlier.
