What to know about Western tanks going to Ukraine – BBC Newsnight
One month short of a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, it’s testament to how far the Western allies have come in their engagement with the conflict that Germany has confirmed it will send its tanks into combat – so far 14 Leopard 2s.
Now other countries with Leopard 2s will follow suit. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in a hugely significant moment told the country, “Trust me … the decision is the right one.”
At the beginning of the conflict there was outrage when Germany sent just 5000 helmets and a field hospital.
Now, the country is in the top three donors of both military and humanitarian aid. President Biden said that Chancellor Scholz has been “a strong voice for unity, and a close friend,” as he announced the US is sending 31 Abrams tanks, insisting the new deployments were “no offensive threat to Russia”.
Newsnight’s International Correspondent Joe Inwood reports on the West’s commitments to Ukraine from London’s National Army Museum.

The BBC’s South Asia correspondent, Justin Rowlatt encountered obstruction from management when he tried to access a tea plantation in India. Several of the world’s biggest tea brands including PG Tips, Lipton, Tetley and Twinings have said they will work to improve the tea estates they buy from in India after a BBC investigation found dangerous, disgusting and degrading living and working conditions. Harrods has stopped selling some tea products in response. The joint investigation by Radio 4’s File on Four and BBC News also found that some tea estates break the law by restricting public access to workers’ living areas.

At least 14 people have been killed after a Russian jet-powered drone hit a crowded platform at the main railway station in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, local officials have said.
Dnipropetrovsk regional head Oleksandr Hanzha said at least 14 others were wounded in the attack, including an 11-year-old boy.
Ukraine’s state railway operator, Ukrzaliznytsia, said a passenger train headed for the southern city of Zaporizhzhia was at one of the platforms in Dnipro when the drone hit.
Russia’s military has not publicly commented. It has repeatedly hit Ukraine’s large railway network, but Moscow denies deliberately targeting civilians.

I’m embarrassed by the gutless wonders our leaders are. This trickle down defense support is bs. As if our leaders wish to watch thru a sadistic lens the slaughter of Ukrainian people.

Ukraine is winning this war, according to the western media, but they need more weapons? While the Russians have 10 times more artillery than Ukraine, they are losing 10 times more men, also according to the western media. Seems someone is not being entirely truthful.

When you add in other promises…
Yeah, so we can do 59 tanks, is that okay?
-No we need 300
Well we've already given you millions and sent volunteers.
Some how I don't think that's 130, someone's telling porkies

Its good that the germans have developed a national conscious but its unforunately now something that the russians are using to take advantage of them and cause the same trauma that the nazis did. At some point this development of germany must evolve into the idea that they are no longer nazis and are willing to stand up for others who are being attacked.

What we know about Western tanks? Thanks to the Grandstanding and public fight the Western Countries has done and the amount of training that is needed the Russians know when to launch their assault to be the most effective. We need to get them massive amounts of Artillery guns, Himars, Tow missiles and ammo to do until the Training is finished and help with the coming attack. All the tanks they already know how to use needs to be sent ASAP and the training accelerated on the rest. Any MIG fighters or Russian attack helicopters the world can find needs to be scraped up and sent to help blunt the attack.

The Abrams uses a turbine engine, the worst choice possible. Complex, extremely vulnerable to dirt ingestion, expensive to maintain, difficult to repair. Total POS.

If NATO was there, you would be running all these different tanks anyway… mostly they shoot the same ammo. At least Challenger uses 120mm. They also want to change to the caseless ammo, so I'm sure they can part with the old stuff.

The sending of tanks to Ukraine could not happen soon enough! What the Germans did in WWII is let an intellectually incompetent man like Hitler lead them into a war. They did not need Hitler. He was economically illiterate and a cognitive failure. What Germany needed was an educated and cognitively competent person to lead Germany out of its economic problems and prosper as it could. It is a problem in the world where you have intellectually incompetent people taking the reins of power. Putin is one example. Putin has stolen the right of self government and the right of liberty from the Russian people. He is trying to do the same in Ukraine by killing women and children and taking over the country. He is so incompetent that everything he says or does is fraudulent.
