It was always going to happen.

How many Russian tanks did it take out first though?

They’ve been deployed for quite a while and this is the first one destroyed? That’s lasted a hell of a long while..

I’d really take those odds over being in a Russian sh*t box.

According to the drone images, it took 4 BMP’s before being destroyed by an artillery strike. Would suggest it was running rampant over the Russians

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

Burns as well as any other armored vehicle.

Kornet ATGM's eat tanks for breakfast. Regardless if T-72, M1 Abrahms, Merkava or Challenger.

Selective reporting. People are still going there for holidays so work that out.

Most nato countries are moving away from tanks anyway, in the modern world of drones, and good infantry anti tank weapons the threat of tanks as diminished.

In Afghan they were pretty much resigned to being a fixed gun platform in FOBs

Hit a mine, fuel tank went, then hit by Lancet drone.

No tank's "indestructible".

Apparently none!

It appears it was immobilised by a mine, the crew disembarked ( all unhurt! ) then it was hit by a kamikaze drone!

It is unclear at the moment whether it is salvageable

Oh sorry!

I just basically repeated your already perfect explanation… shows I need to read the whole thread before I open my big mouth!

"We are not as invincible as we thought,?"

Didn’t invincibility increase when we left the EU? Surely that was one of he main benefits? Getting back to the days when Britannia ruled the waves?

I’m beginning to think some of the leave camp might have been lying to us.

Why wasn’t THAT all over the news? What’s going on here?

We were told that a mixture of Challengers, Leopards and Abraham tanks would be game changers. Yet to see it. The Italians and French have spent specially adapted Leopards with one forward gear and six reverse...

If you’re going to use casual xenophobic stereotyping, at least get the spelling right. I can see this ending up all over the news.
