All coming crashing down for Russia citizens wonder when they will start going against the government.
Raging, well I suspect we have spies there too..

Any British citizen in Russia now is asking to be arrested and used by the state. They'd have to be an idiot to remain there, it isn't even safe for journalists. They should get out as they are potentially putting our government in a position where they can't act as they have to think of the idiot who got themselves arrested.
Do you know when? Never.

Think Id rather fight in numbers against government then end up on battlefield as cannon fodder.
Kind of makes sense, but not good unless you have lots of spare Rubbles.

Some will make a noise about it but will blame members of the government or the central banks and think they have let dear leader Putin down, the ones that do know it's down to Putin and Putin alone will just remain silent and hope it somehow just fixes itself somehow.

I think the writing has been on the wall for all citizens of western countries that have been giving support support Ukraine for a while now. I would hope that the people who can leave already have.

They won't blame Putin, they'll blame the West and Ukraine knowing Russians

Finally a wild Chally appeared, shame they had to add a cope cage to it though
You would have thought our own MoD would have thought that aps systems should be on every bit of armour after witnessing this war..
Alas we plan to order enough for half of the challenger 3 order.
Maybe we will be installing cope cages as well in the future.
Markava tanks, thier aps and massive turret armour and more machine guns than you can count look like world beaters in this new environment.

They could have created a lot of jobs making them in the UK, as always though we never learn and we'll probably learn the hard way for only having enough for half the compliment of tanks

Odd that they haven't extended it to cover the side of the turret. I know the amour is supposed to be excellent but preventing being hit in the first place is normally the best defence.

It's likely there to protect the turret crew rather than the tank itself.

I would imagine it helps against drone attacks, not against 2 stage weapons like Javelin.

That Challenger looks a bit silly with that metal cage on it but then again Ukrainian's are use to driving with the hatch open for better visibility on thier existing tanks. I would have thought the hunter-killer system would have made that unnecessary but I guess old habits die hard.
