The Armed Forces of Ukraine do not get up lessons of the ongoing hostilities. NATO tanks have proven their ineffectiveness in battles on Ukrainian frontlines. For example, the British Challengers were long not seen in action but the Ukrainian military continued throwing them on the battlefields.
As a result, the British Challenger tanks continue burning, now on the Russian territory. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported the destruction of two such tanks by forces of the Russian North group of forces.
The newly shared footage confirmed the report. It shows strikes by Russian small FPV drones on two British Challenger 2 in service with the Ukrainian 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade, reportedly in the Kursk region. The first drone struck at the most vulnerable roof of the tank turret, the second at an equally vulnerable lower frontal part, which guaranteed heavy damage to the NATO vehicles that were likely previously immobilised and probably abandoned by Ukrainian soldiers.
After the Ukrainian military ruined the myth of the all-mighty NATO tanks, Ukrainian servicemen no langer care about the safety of these tanks. Together with cheaper Soviet tanks, British and other foreign vehicles are used in isolation in the field areas without any support and anti-drone protection and Ukrainian soldiers are in no hurry to take them away from the battlefields. Now, the British Challengers are only useful as tropheys shown at exhibitions of destroyed NATO vehicles in Russia.
prokrovsk is kaput.
itsy bitsy drones taking out challenger tanks? wasn’t much of a challenge, was it?
i know this chinese company that’s working on cheap microdrones that home into the bores of tank and artillery cannons for a firepower kill. they gonna test them on nato mbts in ukraine. i wonder if ukrainians are able to replace western tank bores in country.
no fixing these tanks even if they can recover them. the last foundry capable of casting the (rifled) tube for these in england was closed down years ago. it is now a shopping centre.
you’d think they could at least build one final one, to use to launch bojo the bozo into orbit.

putin notably announced russia’s efforts to establish a new unmanned systems separate branch in his response to a media question on whether russia should establish a “separate military branch” for drone operators following the example of the recently established ukrainian usf. (isw)
