A western defence source confirmed to the BBC the video showed a damaged U.K. supplied Challenger 2 tank in Ukraine. The defence source also confirmed that all the crew survived

Western equipment is still proving their worth in crew survivability though, Western tanks are powerful but their core focus is the survival of the crew to fight another day, send them another Challenger 2!
RIP Lil Challenger 2. Losses are inevitable, no tank is invulnerable, in addition it's around Robotyne where Russia has sent their very best unit so the fighting will be very fierce and losses to be expected, I'm not bothered about them losing a Challenger 2, I'm frustrated at UK not sending them more though when there's zero reason we can't. Ukraine needs more Challenger 2 and Leopard 2's.
At least Abrams are coming soon, I still hope America just says fuck it and sends a larger batch as they are more capable of doing that then Europe is.
