Ukraine troops welcome UK plans to provide Challenger tanks – BBC News

Published

on



Troops on the frontline in Ukraine’s Bakhmut have told the BBC they welcome news they are to receive around a dozen Challenger tanks from the UK, a move they hope will turn the tide in the war.

Russian authorities claimed they have taken control of the city of Soledar in Ukraine’s eastern Donestk region.

But this has been denied by a Ukranian army spokesperson, who said fighting there is continuing.

    A few UK tanks that need different ammo from other tanks might be more of a problem than a solution.

    Victory ✌️ to western plutocracy and military industrial complex plutocrats ruling the west and who own the media and politicians.

    War means new weapons markets and profits and clearing of old inventory .

    Profits means more money 💰 for mansions and super yachts and private jets and other good things in life.

    Victory ✌️ to the profiteers of war. ✌️

    Why are we not giving much more? From what I understand we are only retaining 148 – T2 to T3 and the remaining T2 tanks, some 80 tanks, could be handed over to Ukraine.

    Kind of a shame Poland went with Leopard tanks and not challengers 🙂 The German government has hamstrung the German weapons export market for years to come because of their reluctance to supply MBT's or to allow the transfer of German made MBT's to Ukraine.

    Couldn't sending out a few challenger 2 tanks be a security risk? What happens if Russia gets hold of a couple of them. I don't have an issue with helping Ukraine by all means give them everything it's just a concern as it's our main battle tank. If I'm wrong please correct me 😊

    The Maidan happened through the fault of the West … the new government aspired to join NATO and it was not opposed to hosting air defense, near our borders, somewhere in Belopolye.

    We could not allow this, we came to Ukraine and took the territories of Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk without shedding blood …

    80% of the Crimean army came over to our side and they are fighting on our side. The Don Cossacks are also on our side, like the offended people of the DPR, who survived the Ukrainian bombing of 2014-2016.

    We will not forget those atrocities that the ATO (Ukrainian nationalist formations) taught us. We will bring the matter to an end, and then I hope we will deal with those who helped Ukraine.

    Normally, I appreciate guest "experts" on BBC programs, but it is very difficult to listen to this apologist for the Russians, without throwing my shoe at my computer! Who cares about how the Russians are going to react? Who cares at all about the "Russian perspective"? Do the Russians give a damn about anyone else's perspective as they bomb civilian targets mercilessly. Do the orcs care about anyone's reaction as they crawl like cockroaches in a land where they do not belong? The only reason that the Russians are reacting is that they did not expect to get their backsides whipped the way that they have. I look forward to the day when the last orc is driven back to Mordor, with his tail between his legs. Slava Ukraini! God bless the United Kingdom. From Utah, USA.

    Letting you know that at 0:43 That the Russians are using the same exact old pieces of soviet equipment with little to most likely No modification whatsoever, even older models than the Ukrainians considering many Ukrainian tanks were fitted with newer technology, You also cant tell me these are no match to putins army, a country ranked in the 15-20's has in many cases won against and in other cases put one of the "Most feared best armies" at a halt. the "#2nd best military".

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

US launches more strikes on Iran and resumes naval blockade of ports | BBC News

Published

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
