UK considering supplying Ukraine with Challenger 2 tanks to fight Russian forces
As many as 10 of the vehicles - enough to equip a squadron - could be on the table, with hopes it could prompt other allies to do the same.

Really?
There were multiple sources for that.
Regarding the Challenger, its 120mm rifled gun is not produced anymore, while ammunition for it is produced in Belgium as far as I know. Each tank can fire a few hundred rounds before its gun is worn out. As these tanks are not brand new ones, their guns have already been worn out to some extent. Ukraine has no means of servicing and repairing the Challenger, while the UK’s abilities are very limited.

The alternative to Putin is either the ultra-nationalists or the communists. Oh joy.
I know exactly how that tank toppled over. It tried to ride on top of the embankment and slid down sideways. Either that or the driver was more drunk than usual and it's anyone's guess ...

Only that Ukraine can't do anything useful with the Challenger 2. The reason being the same as why Britain's plans to finally get a new gun installed in these things: they're worn out and not produced anymore. Leclerc would be a bad choice as well, due to so few having been built. The same probably goes for Ariete. (How come you always forget Italy in your meme-marathons?
)No, as far as Western tanks go, it ought to be either the Abrams or the Leopard 2 by virtue of so many having been built.
Speaking of Leopard 2’s … the Turks also have many.
