UK to consider sending more tanks to Ukraine, says defence secretary – BBC News
The UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said he will consider sending more British tanks to Ukraine if they are used effectively.
Mr Wallace was speaking after meeting Ukrainian troops training on the British Army’s Challenger 2 tanks for the first time in the UK.
The UK was the first to pledge 14 modern main battle tanks to Ukraine with several more countries now promising to send more.
Ukraine said it needs western weapons to retake its territory from Russia.

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.

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.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

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.

The U.K doesn’t need to worry about being invaded, we are a nuclear power and have nato to watch out backs, may as well give our whole fleet of challenger two’s especially considering the challenger 3 will replace them. We don’t need these tanks but Ukraine does.

If it is right for the US, NATO and Europe to arm Ukraine, why is it not right for China to arm Russia? Similarly, if Western private satellite companies are correct in assigning Russian military activity to Ukraine, why is it that China's private satellite organization is incorrect in assigning Ukrainian military activity to Russia? It's unfair.

We should put at least 50 tanks into UKRAINE, with trained crew, and backed up with Typhoons to push PUTIN back to his borders. If Putin keeps firing rockets into UKRAINE after we’ve booted him out, we should supply nukes to UKRAINE to stop his madness; I means are RUSSIANS unable to see his total madness? 🤡😡👈 funny it’s not him on fire and blown-up 🔥🇷🇺🔥

Does not matter what you send , Ukraine has already lost Ukraine long time. You should have kept your noses away instead of provoking deadly war where brothers kill each others.

Send more tanks to push Russian forces back and encourage Putin to deploy nuclear weapons. Sound like a plan ? Like a DUMB plan to me … Putin said he wasn’t bluffing. 14 British tanks vs 6000 nuclear warheads, the UK ‘s hubris 😮. It may be time to stop with the tanks, people. Let’s negotiate instead ?

Thus far the promises of tanks from the NATO countries is just a drop in the bucket. Ukraine needs several hundred MBTs at the minimum. I am curious about the tactical skills of the Ukrainian tankers. Tanking can be challenging due to the speed of maneuver warfare.
