Russian fighters in the special operation zone destroyed the third British Challenger 2 tank. Russia-1 reports this.
It is noted that today Ukraine has only 11 such vehicles left and there will be no new ones, since Britain has run out of weapons reserves to transfer to Kyiv.
And the day before, in the vicinity of Rabotino, a German Leopard-2 was shot down and then captured as a trophy.
“Two of our ATGMs and two FPV drones worked on the German “cat” at once… As a result, the crew was killed, and the position and the damaged tank were captured by Russian soldiers from the 71st Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment… on the turret and sides of the NATO equipment there are blocks of the Soviet dynamic defense complex “Contact-1,” says a message on the Skabeeva telegram channel.
As reported on September 6 EADailythe telegram channel “Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring” posted a video of the destruction of the British Challenger 2 tank in the battle near Rabotino on the Zaporozhye front.
Kyiv regime troops attempted an offensive with two tanks and three armored vehicles, but were unable to advance far. Challenger 2 was destroyed by a direct hit from the Kornet ATGM under the turret, TK wrote then. BMPs and armored personnel carriers also remained on the battlefield.
The British Challenger 2 tank was lost from enemy fire for the first time in history, the BBC Russian Service reported, noting that this happened in the Zaporozhye region.
“Until now, not a single such tank has been lost in battle as a result of fire enemy. The only Challenger 2 destroyed was the victim of “friendly fire” in 2003 in Iraq,” the Air Force wrote.
It was noted that a video appeared on the Internet showing a burning British main battle tank Challenger 2. There is practically no doubt that this is a Challenger: there are characteristic spare fuel tanks, one of which fell off, probably at the moment the tank was destroyed. In addition, there is an armored thermal imager box on top of the gun, which is installed on these tanks. Well, a source in one of the Western defense departments confirmed to the BBC that the footage shows a Challenger 2 tank.
