Corrected for youIt has just been announced that France will send 12 more Caesar 115 mm guns to be added to the 18 previously sent.
In my opinion, it would be wiser to send more gunsinstead ofin addition to Leclerc tanks, as artillery even if less glamourous than tanks is a n° 1 asset.
The Leclerc would add a 4th tank model, and the associated logistical burden and a complicated one, to the 3 already announced.
As a bonus, the Ukrainians already know the gun and put it to good use.
Corrected for you
I'd like to hear their first impression of the Challenger. I imagine something along the lines of, ergonomics, spaciousness, heat, and what's this, an integrated kettle for making tea?! And then there's the ability to reverse quickly, giving the UAF the ability to quickly move forward, shoot and then reverse into cover.Ukrainian soldiers arrive in UK to be trained on Challenger 2 tanks fo

Reminds me a bit about an 'opportunist' in the UK during WW2. He advertised a guaranteed way of avoiding the draft into the army if you were fit. You sent him the money and he sent you the way of avoiding the draft.
Damn, that's close. Wouldn't the people you're lobbing at fire back?he is probably firing at relatively short ranges of less than 500-600 yds.
That's a bit over a quarter mile - unless the enemy has something more than rifles, they'll have to either try and run for it or dig in and hope for the best.Damn, that's close. Wouldn't the people you're lobbing at fire back?
I now can't stop thinking about the Saint Gloriana Academy team from "Girls Und Panzer".I'd like to hear their first impression of the Challenger.

You are seriously going to mention these two in the same sentence? SACRILEGE !!!!Which segues nicely with another (partial) Canadian invention, Chester Cheetah.

re the 'sending of arms to Ukraine only prolonging the war' and other such comments.
I have to wonder how many of the people saying the above (or some similar thing) would say the same thing if it was their country being invaded.
I can just imagine Zoran Milanovic (Croatian President) saying 'No, no, no . . . please, no one send us military aid or weapons . . . it will just prolong the time it takes Russia (or some other country) to invade us.'
Unless it was to their personal benefit.
However, when anyone says 'idiot politician', one automatically leaps to the top of the list...Nobody has the monopoly on idiotic politicians.
