UK confirms it will supply Ukraine with 14 Challenger 2 tanks and about 30 AS-90The UK government has confirmed plans to provide Ukraine with a squadron of 14 Challenger 2 tanks and about 30 155 mm AS-90 Self-Propelled Howitzers (SPHs).Details: The report states that UK defence and security officials believe that a window has opened in which Russia is retreating due to supply problems and plummeting morale.The small number of tanks taken from Britain's stockpile of 227 tanks will not in itself make much difference on the battlefield, but it will be the first time that any Western country has agreed to send its heavy armoured vehicles to Ukraine.According to Bloomberg, the German federal government may announce a decision on the supply of Western tanks to Ukraine next week.Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that five countries are ready to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine but are waiting for Germany's decision."
