In Britain, as a safety net, they proposed using the main battle tanks supplied to Ukraine exclusively for exercises and away from the front line. This is written by the American edition of Military Watch Magazine.
The publication quoted retired RAF Vice Marshal Sean Bell as saying that sending Western tanks to Kyiv’s militants would hardly be a viable solution due to the complex and lengthy preparation process.
“They are stuffed with all sorts of electronics, laser designators, night vision goggles, targeting computers – all this will be a Chinese letter for Ukrainians and will require serious preparation,” Bell said.
Another problem is that losses in combat can seriously undermine the international image of Western vehicles, especially the German Leopard 2 tanks. The publication notes that these machines have already performed very poorly in the service of the Turkish Armed Forces in operations against lightly armed combat groups in Syria and Iraq.
