Challenger 2 tanks being sent to the frontline of the Ukraine war have "world-beating" armour and can outgun enemy units, British troops have declared.
The UK is donating 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine in its fight for freedom.
Major Mark Lambert, of the King’s Royal Hussars, said the fighting machines “excel” in firepower, manoeuvrability and survivability.
He said they “work really well” in wooded areas but can also hit targets two and a half miles away in open areas.
The British Army say the Challenger 2 prioritises “firepower” and “protection”, with its L30A1 120mm gun deadly accurate.
It holds the record for the furthest distance to destroy another tank.
