A "rare and complex" British Challenger 2 tank that Ukraine received from the UK was spotted in the Kursk region of Russia.
"The destruction of a heavy British Challenger 2 tank, a rather rare and complex tank to operate, by the marines of our 155th brigade indicates the concentration of enemy efforts," Two Majors Telegram channel said.
The fact that such rare military hardware was transferred to the Russian region indicates the intention of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use all opportunities to hold positions in the Kursk region, authors of the channel added.
Russian army fighters destroy Ukraine's Western tanks on a regular basis. The Ukrainian forces have lost a number of German Leopard tanks lately, the Russian Defense Ministry said. Thus, Russian troops in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) destroyed a Leopard-2A4 and towed it to the rear.
"The NATO tank was hit by an FPV drone, despite the fact that its armour was covered with Soviet-made Kontakt-1 dynamic protection," War Correspondents of the Russian Spring Telegram channel said.
