From an interview with the crew of a Challenger tank from Ukraine's 82nd Air Assault Brigade. They praise its accuracy and fire control system and survivability. They say NATO tanks are a priority target for Russia, which requires them to stay mobile. They say their Challenger was struck by ATGMs from Russian helicopters when they crossed the border into Kursk during the beginning of the operation. The driver and commander sights were knocked out and they lost two road wheels, but the crew survived and the tank was able to withdraw. One of the crew members notes that the engine needs frequent maintenance, which if often difficult given the situation, and that he would prefer an engine with more horsepower. THIS is the whole story.
