Zelensky quote :

 

Tanks very much.

Britain has not yet officially confirmed the number of tanks it will be sending to Ukraine, but it’s believed to be about a dozen Challenger 2’s.

The decision could be significant, but only if other Western nations follow.

On its own it’s unlikely to make a big difference in the war. Ukraine says it needs hundreds more tanks and armoured vehicles to retake the territories still held by Russia

 

 The Challenger, built in the late 1990s, was originally designed to face Russian armour. But it's rifled barrel means it uses different ammunition to NATO countries.

yes agree ..... I think the war is at a very critical stage now as Putin is ramping up some 2 million reservists to mobilize onto the front lines to attempt to take back larger areas of Ukraine's east and south.

The west and especially the US realize this and I think more and more heavy military equipment will follow as quickly as possible.  This war will just keep dragging on as that's what Putin want's .....   the only way to end this is for someone or some special force to take Putin out.  imo ....  then they would most likely all go home in a running retreat.

as almost a whole year passed already and Putin and other highest ranks are still alive it could mean only the following:

- either the West's "cool secret elite special forces" are not that cool and special

- or all that war is a faux, a fixed match between the collective West and Russia.

 

Hopefully EU nations do the same.

 

Or maybe the unelected technocrats are still checking their tanks pass Euro5 emissions tests and have all the regulatory checks and import documentation in place to ensure the integrity of their single market?

Bizarre tangent. Are you OK?

Let’s hope that this will (if I may) kick start the process and start leopard tanks and abrams tanks on their way in time for the spring orc hunting season!
