First British Challenger 2 tanks pictured in Ukraine
The first British Challenger 2 battle tanks have arrived in Ukraine, with pictures showing a donated vehicle next to those from the US and Germany.
Hailing the arrival yesterday, the Ukrainian defence minister Oleksii Reznikov said: "Today, I had the honour to try out the newest addition to our armed units, particularly Challengers from the UK."
Other donations in the photograph included an American Stryker infantry carrier and a German Marder armoured vehicle.
Ukrainian troops have spent weeks in the UK learning how to operate the Challenger 2s, which were donated after a lengthy campaign by the Ukrainian side.
It is understood the UK will send 14 Challengers in total, but it is not yet known how many have arrived in Ukraine.
