Meanwhile in Poland.

20 Challengers and 100 Warriors.



Those infants know nothing about dispersal.



PS. Rare pic of a Challenger that works (outside Catterick or Bielefeld/Herford)

A lot of those Charlie 2's were brought out of storage for this event. Perhaps ready to be left at a new Forward base in Poland!

Hopefully ... all 20 of them. And that someone provides reactive armour, artillery support etc. at some point too.

Everything seems to be in storage or on/about to be scrapped (inc. some of the planes dragged to Cyprus) or sold (still can't get used to hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers in UK DPM 95 pattern and similar, PLCEs and Mk 6 helmets ... some of the Russians have them too, but mainly desert kit for some reason).

At least UK has air cover from France who went unilateral and based Rafales in Poland earlier in the year.

It'd be damned unsporting of the Russians to start a war now, they know our aircraft carriers wont be ready for another 5 years.

Aye and a similar number of years for the F35's to be ready for them too.

The 1930's all over again.

Unfortunately their planes won't be ready by then either.

Meanwhile at Belbek airbase (scene of the confrontation back in late Feb or early March between UA air force personnel and Russian paratroopers in front of a load of journos) in Crimea...
