According to the [[BBC]] the first confirmed sighting of the vaunted Challenger 2 tank, reputed to be one of the best in the world, resulted in the first confirmed kill of a Challenger 2 tank. 13 more remain in service in Ukraine.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66716788</ref> The next day the British defense ministry announced it would not send anymore to replace those being destroyed.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/RnWlrOIKrBWT/</ref> The Russians were the first to discover the UK main battle tank's vulnerabilities, leaving the UK defense ministry and [[MIC]] contractors to quietly "study the problem".

By early September 2023 after 90 days of fighting, in excess of 60,000 casualties and virtually no gains, the firing of [[corrupt]] Ukrainian defense minister Oleksii Reznikov effectively brought the Ukraine 2023 summer counteroffensive to an end.
