Napoleon didn't have challenger tanks :-D

Challenger Tanks are mid-eighties designs, even the Challenger II. No idea how far tank technology has moved on in forty years of whether the top tanks of then are still to be surpassed. Not much need for tanks in modern warfare when you can fire missiles and drones at the enemy.
 
Challenger I effected a kill at 5km...

Tanks still play a valuable role in supporting ground troops and taking out opposition armour.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has intensified calls for a boost to the UK's defence budget.

Assessing the conflict, UK Chief of Defence Staff, Sir Tony Radakin said Russia had suffered its worst month for casualties since the start of the war in 2022.

He said Russia’s forces suffered an average of about 1,500 dead and injured "every single day" in October.

Russia does not disclose the number of its war dead, but Western defence officials have said October's death toll was the heaviest so far.

Sir Tony said the Russian people were paying an "extraordinary price" for Putin's invasion.

"Russia is about to suffer 700,000 people killed or wounded – the enormous pain and suffering that the Russian nation is having to bear because of Putin’s ambition," said Sir Tony.
 
Vladimir Shklyarov 39, chief ballet dancer of the Mariinsky theatre and who was critical of Putin and the war in ukraine, dies after falling from a fifth floor window “while on painkillers”
 
American supplied missiles confirmed hitting Russia according to Moscow, it’s basically proxy war now. Whilst some might think it’s good news I think this a bit destabilising.
 
Time of me writing this we are 1000 days into Putins 3 day special military operation.
 
Internet was down for hours in Russia earlier, they apparently cut the wrong cable in a cyber attack, and this message interrupted tv programmes about an hour ago.
Couple of fairly reliable (usually around 70% correct on things they write) twitter accounts have stated this, so who knows, probably hackers, but we’ll have to wait and see

I smell a fairly significant amount of bullshit.

And, if I were Mr Kadyrov, I would definitely be avoiding windows in future.
 
I don’t believe it for a minute either, just weird their whole internet went down today then this, we have to wait for reports and evidence proving it, of swan lake on Russian tv, then we can start believing.

Has Trump sorted it yet?

It appears Trump is more bothered about stopping the war so he can claim he has fulfilled his election promise rather than reaching a just peace. The Ukrainians are going to be hung out to dry and Putin will bide his time before setting his expansionist eyes elsewhere.
 
I heard Jeremy Hunt interviewed on the News Agents this morning, in summary he basically said just don't push Trump, agree with whatever he says, because if he pulls out of Nato then Europe will have to double its defence spending, and basically our foreign policy should be centred around protecting their membership - which means keeping your mouth shut.
