I bet these guys are easy to train. It’s one thing when you join the military knowing that you might have to use this in war one day but maybe not versus you know there’s a war already going on and you’re being trained to go back and immediately engage in warfare makes you want to pay real close attention to every detail

1:15 Lieutenant Colonel Tim Purbrick has one of the longest range tank kills in history by the way. 1991 Gulf War, Operation Granby.

God how I wish A10 Warthogs were in action there. What a sight and sound that would be.

In Iraq in 2003 a Challenger was hit by 70 Soviet made RPGs.... and survived, with the crew unhurt. It also has the most accurate gun of any tank ever made.

And it's *finally* being put to good use...

Good old Death and Glory Boys training crews.

[coolbeans]

mind boggling how ukraine is like now a strong military, if you saw these guys 5 years ago you wouldnt be able to tell a russian and a ukrainian apart; now they look like a western superpower

[davidfraser]

I’m happy that they have hands on. I trust the AFU are a bit happier too. Go On Lads!

[seniorslaphead]

Good luck to these tankers. You've got the best of British training and gear... the eyes of the world are upon you.
