"It won't take much time": Armed Forces "Oh-O" will start mastering Challenger 2 tanks-Prystayko

According to the Ukrainian ambassador, our servicemen will be trained in the UK. The tank crews of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin the development of Challenger 2 tanks in the United Kingdom in the near future. The Ambassador of Ukraine to Britain Vadim Prystayko told this on Radio Liberty. According to the Ukrainian ambassador, our crews of heavy artillery systems continue in Britain. Tankers should join them soon.

"The crews are about to start training in the UK," the diplomat told reporters. Vadim Prystayko suggested that the training of the Armed Forces on Challenger 2 "would not take much time". According to him, British instructors noted a high level of motivation of Ukrainian servicemen. The ambassador also reported that the preparation of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in the United Kingdom takes about 5 weeks.

By this time, 10,000 Ukrainian infantrymen have passed similar training, and 2023 began in 2023. "It is difficult to say how much tankers will need to be cooked-the more it is both artillerymen and mechanics and commanders. I think that in a month and a half you can handle. If necessary, training will be continued as it was before," Prystayko said . Challenger 2 tanks were armed with the UK in the mid-1990s.

They are equipped with a 120-mm gun and were used by the British Armed Forces during conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Iraq. The fact that the Prime Minister of the UK Risha Sunnak promised Vladimir Zelensky to send a company of Challenger 2 to Ukraine to Ukraine is known on January 14. Earlier, the Ukrainian side stated that 300 tanks were needed to liberate its territories from the Russian army.
