British Chief of the General Staff Patrick Sanders reacted to the news of the destruction of a British Challenger 2 heavy tank in the Northern Military District zone in Ukraine.
In his interview with Forces.net, the general admitted that he experienced emotional shock upon learning about what happened.
“I experienced strong emotions because I was probably on that tank,” Sanders answered when asked about his impressions of what he saw.
The head of the General Staff explained such an unusual reaction for a military man by the fact that the British military has a deep attachment to its equipment.
Let us remind you that the first British Challenger 2 tank was destroyed at the beginning of this week in the Zaporozhye direction. It was in service with the 82nd Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Later, the new British Secretary of Defense Grant Shapps confirmed the destruction of the first Challenger 2 tank in the combat zone in Ukraine.
