British Challenger 2 tanks arrived in Ukraine. Together with them, the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine returned home, who were trained to manage them for several weeks in the UK. 

In total, London sent 14 of the 28 promised tanks, as well as several Bulldog armored personnel carriers and self-propelled artillery mounts.

One of the first who met the Challengers and even had a test drive was Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov.

A few hours before, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed that the long-awaited 18 Leopard 2 tanks had also arrived in Ukraine.

Both Challenger 2 and Leopard 2 are expected to play an important role in the expected Ukrainian offensive in the east of the country. At the same time, there are much more German tanks, since they are part of the armies of several European countries that have announced deliveries to Ukraine.
