Sours: European Pravda

Ukrainian tank crews arrived in the UK for training on Challenger 2 tanks at the end of January.

In the video, a British army representative explains that separate courses for tank commanders, drivers, gunners and operators have been organised for the Ukrainians.

In the footage, you can see the Ukrainians driving turretless training vehicles at the training ground. They also drive and fire actual combat-ready tanks.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said that the British Challenger 2 tanks will be delivered to Ukraine in March 2023.

Background: Ukraine will receive twice as many Challenger 2 tanks from the UK as London initially promised.
