Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has approved the plan to support Ukraine with armoured vehicles, The Sun reported.
It would mark the first time in the war that Britain has supplied Ukraine with military tanks and would significantly ramp up Western support.
Providing additional tanks could assist Ukraine in taking back territory that Russia occupies and comes amid hope that Volodymyr Zelensky will be in a position to launch a decisive counter-offensive in the early spring.

Yeah. They shoot sayfer boolets .
Why piddle around trying to work with them when they are being destroyed?
The Challengers being an odd model is certainly creating some logistical challenges (see what I did there), but part of this decision is diplomacy. It is to shame other countries into sending heavy MBT-s too and for most of Europe these will be Leopard 2-s.
How many tanks does the money laundry need? Even the US does not have enough you friggin dolts. There are logistical chains needed. You smooth brains are annoying.
There is another type of Russian tank as well. Those are captured Russian tanks. The very large number is classified
If Zelensky/Ukraine need to have an "Offensive", why not make it like... now... right now, when the ground is frozen and all these new tanks can have the run of the place and blow the **** out of Vlad's tanks, with their "glass jaw" autoloading turrets.
Send all those tanks by *** right now, a C-17 can haul one each time. They can all be there by the end of the month. Don't mix up the ammo and spare parts and stuff, now. /s
More propaganda to keep the dollars flowing.
Ukrainians are so gifted, they’re born trained on all tanks, jets, and missile systems.
How are energy prices doing in Europe?
How’s our southern border doing?
I hear super rich people, surrounded by 5,000 troops, are comfy in Davos.
Rolling coffins. PR stunt. Hey! I know, let’s keep giving Ukraine stuff so they can fight to the last Ukrainian! It’s retarded. Every Ukrainian I’ve met up here blames zelensky. The media should report their stories, but they won’t. It won’t fit the narrative.
“Money laundry”.
That’s just a conspirational incantation of magic words, that are supposed to shut off thinking (or at least make it unnecessary for true believers).
There is no evidence of money laundering. Money laundering through audited weapons and ammo wouldn’t work very well. The conspiracy would need to have both the majorities of Republicans, Democrats, nearly all the European countries and Putin himself be in on it.
It doesn’t matter for conspiracists of course because for them the lack of any evidence is itself the evidence that they are right.
Tell that to the weapons sent to Ukraine that are showing up in Africa you absolute moron or intel shill. I suspect both.
You’re believing idiotic propagandist manufactured articles from unreliable outlets because they conform to your preconceived notions.
The expensive and war winning stuff sent to Ukraine is 155mm and M142/M240 artillery systems with ammo, counter-battery radars, AA systems.
These things are next to impossible to sell in some African conflicts as the Africans couldn’t even use them and thus would not pay.
Even these (likely fabricated) news items are about silly small-time stuff like small arms ammo.
Wagner has been trying to take a small city of 70,000 for months now. Months.
They might be brutal. But they aren’t that good.
Wait...whut?! Shouldnt that read “Dodge has decided to donate the leftover 2022 Hellcat Challengers to Ukraine”? This is an effort to clear the stock so that when the collectors edition, 2023 models are delivered, demand will be insane. Wonder how they’ll look. Where will they mount the turret? Trunk or roof?
“The Wagner Mercenaries are loyal to Yevgeny Prigozhin. He and they are a danger to a Putin coup d’état”
Yes, putin better watch his back...
Ukraine needs 1,000 of the old M101A1 105mm field howitzer, or very similar 105mm (L118, M119A3, etc). Because Ukraine needs to include the following type of bombardment, in battery:

75 Ton vehicle with skinny tracks trying to get through the Ukraine spring mud
Well that will be fun to watch
I think this is what could have helped them to defend - a light and fast pipe behind every blade of grass.
Too late for that now and today they need to go on a counteroffensive and need range from their artillery and they need tanks.
We used to enjoy movie adaptations of our own prisoners signing up for the Army
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dirty_Dozen
....In March 1944, OSS officer Major John Reisman is ordered by the commander of ADSEC in Britain, Major General Sam Worden, to undertake Project Amnesty, a top-secret mission to train some of the Army’s worst prisoners and turn them into commandos to be sent on a virtual suicide mission just before D-Day. The target is a château near Rennes where dozens of high-ranking German officers will be eliminated in order to disrupt the chain of command of the Wehrmacht in Northern France before the Allied invasion. The prisoners who survive the mission will receive pardons for their crimes.....
