As a former commander of a British main battle tank regiment, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon has 20 years of experience with modern tanks. He explains what warfare looks like with the Challenger 2 and the Leopard 2 and why their timely delivery could bring about the end of the war in the summer.
Mr de Bretton-Gordon, as Commander of the First Royal Tank Regiment of the British Army, you used to drive the Challenger 2 yourself. Now the British want to deliver 14 of these tanks to the Ukraine, but in Berlin the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is still hesitant about releasing the Leopard 2 deliveries from Poland and Finland. What can Challenger 2 and its German equivalent, the Leopard 2, do? And why does Ukraine need them so badly right now?
I’ve spent thousands of hours in the Challenger 2 and its predecessor, the Challenger 1. And I can tell you, the new generation of main battle tanks is very much superior to their predecessors. This also applies to the Leopard 2.
