Ukraine

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.
