Royal Air Force aircraft delivered future Ukrainian crews of Challenger tanks to the UK 2, which are expected to arrive in Ukraine at the end of March. The training will last one and a half to two months., if necessary, training can be extended. This information is also confirmed by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK Vadym Prystaiko., declared, that the Ukrainian military “very motivated” and learn “very fast”.
I think, that in a month and a half you can cope. If required, training will continue, as it once was- he added.
The British Ministry of Defense emphasizes, that the transfer of Challenger tanks 2 and crew training should help Ukraine prepare for further fight with Russia. Total Kyiv will receive 14 Challenger tanks 2.

True, there is one problem with the transfer of tanks, Brits are very afraid, that the Russians will specifically begin to hunt for them, to learn the secret of composite armor. In this regard, London puts forward a number of conditions for Kyiv, among which do not send tanks to the sites, where it is possible to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as in case of their defeat, urgently evacuate even under fire. used photos:Rheinmetall
