UK-donated Challenger 2 tanks have been used by Ukraine as part of its surprise incursion into Russia, a UK source has confirmed.

The Ministry of Defence is not officially commenting on what specific UK weapons are being used by Ukraine.

However, following Kyiv’s incursion into Russian territory, the ministry reiterated that Ukraine had “a clear right” to use UK-supplied weapons for “self-defence against Russia’s illegal attacks”.

    Unfortunately it was rumored yesterday that Ukraine lost a Challenger II in the Kursk region.

      That’s to be expected. You can’t go to war expecting everything and everyone to come back.

      Im curious as to what extent, just a mobility kill? The western tanks tend to have good protection for the crew, I hope they got out ok.
