The British military is putting down emergency plans to recover Challenger 2 main battle tanks if they are damaged in Ukraine in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of Russian troops, the Sun reported on January 27.
Earlier this month, the United Kingdom government announced a breakthrough decision to supply 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. The tank is protected by a classified armour, dubbed “Chobham,” which is said to be made from a blend of ceramics, steel and shock-absorbing compounds.
According to the Sun, British officers are now working with Ukraine’s high command to ensure that Challenger 2 tanks can be dragged back to safety if one is knocked out of action.
A defense official said: “If a tank is destroyed or disabled the first option is always to try and self-recover. You tow it with another tank or use a specialist armoured repair and recovery vehicle — which looks like a tank with a crane.”
“But the worst-case scenario is that a tank is destroyed when the lines are collapsing and friendly forces are in retreat,” the unnamed official added.
“Step one is the training and working with mission planners to try and ensure the Challengers are not used in scenarios where they think that collapse a realistic possibility … Step two is making sure, at the tactical level, the Ukrainians are trained to recover a tank under fire. They certainly don’t lack the courage.”
One of the plans the British military is currently considering is having private military contractors on standby to recover stricken tanks. This would be a direct involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
The UK has providing support to Kiev forces since the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine nearly a year ago.
The Sun’s report came following talks of a U.S. plan to strip M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks intended to Ukraine from classified depleted uranium armour. The 31 tanks Washington promised to supply will reportedly be equipped with what is called FMS [foreign military sales] armor packages.
The measures the U.S. and the UK are taking to protect the secrets of their tank reflect their very little faith in Kiev forces. Both powers apparently understand that the few dozen tanks they are preparing to supply won’t make a difference on the battlefield. These tanks are only meant to prolong the conflict and drain the Russian military.

Oh boy, so Russians will wait for a never ending hohol kielbasa trying to drag away 60T of struck and stuck scrap metal and pummel them with artillery 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Hahaha what a bunch of delusional fools if they believe a knocked out tank can be secured and dragged back to mitigate capture during the heat of battle. Don’t send them if you’re so worried about Russia capturing them…Russia certainly will capture Challenger, Abrams and Leopard tanks.
And Merkavas too.
Ghost of Kiev, will have no problems making sure the tanks are safe haha.
Ghost is something flying, the best ukrotankman will be named the worm of Kiev, or mole of Lemberg.
They can attach rubber ropes to tanks to auto-evacuate them when tank goes too far towards Kremlin and Putin is able to catch them with hands. I bet he can. Tank museum in Kubinka needs new exhibits, there are old M-48, M-60 and numerous german wunderwaffes, but people bored and asks for something new.
Another new British Royal navy war ship had to be towed back to port in the UK apparently the hi tec ship shut down no power after a failure of electronics! This seems to be a regular occurrence with Royal navy ships especially the new ones. As for the challenger tanks the Iraqi fighters used shaped charges to disabled one or two of them the British government withdraw them after that
Yup. Niggers and shitskins have skills only to break shit.
Damn you racist fucks can’t help yourself huh? I can’t stand BLM but do degrade black people by calling us “Nigger”? 🤮🤮
“UK Is Worried That Challenger 2 Battle Tanks Promised To Ukraine Will Be Captured By Russian Army” … There’s a very simple solution to that problem.
Yep, don’t send any.
Seriously??? More LIKE they are worried that the Russians will plaster them on the battlefield, and laugh as they easily destroy these hunks of junk!
Ahaha, King Shakespeare!

He doesn’t have any.
Yes, JHK is a devout Muslim and it goes without saying what he is mentally.
Ukraine is a meatgrinder devised by lucifer.
Target practice for Krasnopols.
Drones could launch/spray something onto their optics and sensors..Dont want damaged goods.
Or a sticky “bomb” filled with thermite just upon the engine.
Don’t worry, the Pentagram queers will be taking off the reactive armour from the Abrams. They are afriad of Russians getting their hands on it. So basically the cowardice continues, Western vipers hide behind suicidal Banderites down to the last one and will give them just enough junk to keep them dying steadily
“One of the plans the British military is currently considering is having private military contractors on standby to recover stricken tanks. This would be a direct involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.”
And a golden opportunity for Russia to kill some British monsters.
I hope they capture some of them and parade the criminals on TV,all those tanks need skilled maintenance crews,what are they going to do send them back to Poland? NO those nato bastards will be on the ground.
It would be a hoot if all the Brit tanks were captured by Russian forces in Ukie Land :) Plus their thick brit crews and RAC tank recovery specialists.
Why doesn’t UK pull away from US?
same reason people don’t pull their arm off their body.
City of London, Washington DC and The Vatican – 3 Corporations that run the world (Monetary, Military and Spiritual). Each are squatters in host nation, with their own rules, laws and taxes. Each loyal to the laws of the Roman Empire and all work together. Who runs the ‘Vatican Estate’? Who runs the FED Reserve? Who runs the ‘Crown Estate’? They also control the politicians of the Host Nation, so all speak from the same forked tongue.
There are several secret societies that fight each other for influence, like the Knight’s Templar, the Illuminati and the Jesuits.
The British are even more evil than the Americans.
At 70 tons it will fall through a bridge or just get stuck. Stop giving zelensky money and weapons and instead, hand deliver him to the russian authorities instead so they can start trial proceedings and he can formally surrender on behalf of whats left of his army. War’s over, stop throwing good money after bad.
By the time all these tanks arrive the only mission will be to hold onto Kiev and make Galicia unattractive to Russia to conquer. Poland won’t mind.
They will be captured but doubtless the Yukies will sell a few to the Russians as well 🤣👋🇬🇧
The island monkeys from Pirate Rock are gone full retard. I just love it.
Onward to the total collapse of the angloZionaZi empire of shit
Clearly, the reason for why so few “modern” tanks are being supplied by US of Aers and UKers. They are, what’s the word, testing untested weapons under real combat conditions and salivating over the prospects, as well as “worried” how quickly they will be destroyed by mighty Mother Russia.
Whatever tanks they send will be gifts for Russia technologies Russia will surely catch some of them.
Bet Russia already has the details, just needs a little fine tuning. The West will have no idea that what they are sending to Ukraine is not only crap, but, will be taken out before they even manage first day in action.
Idiots.
BTW, this comment wouldn’t post because it was “too short”.

what’s the point of having a tank that cant be used because the enemy might get it. seems you can only use it where its safe. like a milk float or icecream van.
Or against a nation that cannot defend itself. Would love to see the Russian Armata tank in action and do wonder if Russia will test it out, under conflict conditions.
The British are known to have phenomenally designed ……………………….. the last major British aircraft carrier, the Queen Elizabeth 2, it flooded during the tests………………… imagine the tanks, they blow up by themselves. Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!
Which is better, a high tech expensive, hard to operate, hard to maintain weapon or a simpler, rugged, cheaper one that can withstand the demands of battle?
Option 3: Ukrainians just sell one or two to the third party, or directly to Russians.
I have no doubt these tanks will “disappear” sold to the highest bidder, studied and taking apart to be reversed engineered
Russia has not captured any propelled artillery system or HIMARS either.
you think so…………..
