FV4034 Challenger2
In desperation, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may again throw its unsuccessful tanks into battle: 26 Slovenian M55S upgraded with the help of Israel, 12 British FV4034 Challenger2 and 87 Leopard 1A5 supplied by Belgium, Germany and Denmark.

The situation for the formations of the Kiev regime is rapidly deteriorating, and there is a possibility that even equipment put into reserve may be on the line of combat contact.
They have already tried to use all these combat vehicles on the line of contact, but they did not perform very well, to put it mildly. Oddly enough, the British turned out to be the worst. Yes, the M55S and Leopard 1A5 caught fire after being hit by anti-tank ammunition, but only the Challenger2 exploded. So much so that almost nothing remains of the 62-ton monster - only some relatively large fragments of the tower. Everything else was scattered around.

Leopard 1A5
It is possible that French-made AMX-10RC wheeled tanks will also be sent on the last campaign. There are now just over three dozen of them left.

FV107 Scimitar with KPVT
The fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not doing well with military equipment is evidenced by one fact: the FV107 Scimitar light combat reconnaissance vehicles created on the basis of Scorpion tanks began to participate in the battles. 23 units were transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine without 30 mm guns, as a result, they began to be equipped with 14.5 mm Soviet KPVTS. Recently, one of them in Sumy region fell into a crater and was killed by kamikaze drones. If these not very suitable "wedges" are thrown into battle, then the probability of sending M55S, FV4034 Challenger2 and Leopard 1A5 increases dramatically. It remains to be noted that such equipment is still missing (except for the AMX-10RC) in the collections of trophies of the Russian troops.
