UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps confirmed that a British Challenger 2 battle tank has been destroyed in Ukraine. It’s said to be the first reported destruction of the coveted battle tank in the model’s nearly 30 years of being in service. “I can confirm, that is correct. It may be the first loss as far as we are aware,“ the newly-appointed UK defence secretary told Sky News. “We accept that in the war zone, there can be material losses”, Shapps said, adding that London is not planning to replace the vehicle. Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy in the UK shared a picture of the destroyed tank from its X handle and wrote in the caption “Wasted.” The picture also mentioned that the destruction of the Challenger 2 tank has cost the UK taxpayers 4.2 million pounds. #challenger2 #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #ukrainewar #uk #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 0:53 RUSSIAN EMBASSY TROLLS BRITISH TAXPAYERS 1:15 FIRST CHALLENGER KILL IN ITS ENTIRE COMBAT HIST
