This includes:
- A squadron of Challenger 2 tanks
- 8 x AS90 guns + more on various stages of readiness
- 100s more armoured vehicles, including Bulldog
Interestingly on this latest aid package for Ukraine, Ben Wallace says the tanks and the AS90s + ammo will come from UK stocks but “a significant number of the other donations are being purchased from the open market or from supportive third-party countries”.
