Ukrainian paratroopers are using the British third-generation tank Challenger 2. It is a heavy machine weighing 78 tons with additional armor. The work of the tank was demonstrated by journalists from 'Army TV'.

The tank crew consists of four people. The commander is located above the gunner, practically on the second floor.

In addition to the 120 mm caliber cannon and armor, the tank is also equipped with a kettle, multicooker, and toilet for cooking.

The maximum fire rate of the Challenger 2 is 10 rounds per minute, and the maximum speed is 50 km/h. The tank also has air conditioning and heating. The crew commander, Vitaliy, notes: 'It's almost like an apartment - everything is here. The machine is designed for the comfort of the people.'

Let us remind you that the soldiers of the 33rd separate mechanized brigade are operating in the Kurakhove direction. There, their Leopard 2A4 destroys enemy positions and dugouts at close distances.

Furthermore, Russian troops have lost nearly half of their heavy military equipment reserves, including all T-90 tanks and a significant number of T-80s.

The Washington Post previously reported that Russia will face a tank shortage by 2025 and problems with the production of new military equipment due to massive losses on the front and restrictions on the production of necessary components.
