"Retired Colonel Unveils Ukraine's Sniper-like Tank Strategy in Counteroffensive"

Ukraine's 82nd Air Assault Brigade, equipped with British-made Challenger 2 tanks, has joined the country's southern counteroffensive, making a significant impact in the battle against Russian forces. The Challenger 2 tanks, known for their long-range firepower, are compared to sniper rifles by the tank crews. These tanks are designed to operate at a distance, targeting enemy armored vehicles from miles away. The Challenger 2's ammunition storage system, which vents explosions away from the crew and vital components, makes it a safer option compared to Soviet-style tanks. The limited number of Challenger 2 tanks in Ukraine's arsenal suggests they are being used strategically and cautiously, potentially providing supporting fire from a distance.
