British tanks will reach Ukraine before the summer, defense secretary says

BY A STAFF REPORTER: The 14 Challenger 2 main battle tanks pledged to Ukraine by the United Kingdom should reach that country “this side of the summer,” the British Defense Secretary said on Monday. “It starts with training on the individual operation of the platforms, then on training on being able to join together with formation units to be able to fight as a formed unit, because that’s important,” Ben Wallace said in parliament. “And then from there, those tanks will be put in.” “What I can say is it will be this side of the summer or May, it will be probably towards Easter time.”
