Needs a good western man to take her in hand.

No self respecting western man should sully himself with these primitives.

That's why challenger 2'a haven't been seen until now
Ukraine has sent in its 82nd brigade, which has been waiting in reserve and this brigade is equipped with the challengers and also US Strykers so we now for the first time see both of these vehicles

Interesting video from CNN showing Ukraine is able to use Thermal imaging camera's on drones to locate landmines
www.businessinsider.com
So it turns out land mines work like storage heaters in as much as when it's hot and sunny they absorb the heat from the surrounding earth and in the evening when it's colder the landmines retain the heat as the earth around them cools down allowing them to be detected by thermal imaging.
Video shows Ukraine using thermal imaging drones to try to locate mines left by Russia to kill and maim its soldiers
Ukraine is using thermal cameras mounted on drones to try to combat the dense minefields deployed by Russia, which have hampered its counteroffensive.

Hopefully the first videos that come out featuring Challenger 2's are one where it's kicking commie backsides and not a stuck lump of metal with the tracks blown off.

We've got to be realistic, it's bound to happen. They're not invincible, and they're there to be used.

Bottom line is this war has taught the arms industry a lot. Drones are king now and the information they are getting is how to deal with them and how to protect armour from them.
These cages will be on all tanks now, I cant see they have a choice.
I would also assume they will have to buff the armour on top of the tanks as they cant afford any weak spots.

Possibly, the detonation will be on impact with the cage and take a lot of momentum away from the penetration power they have.
its a nano second but it should be in thousands of pieces spread over the entire tank rather than one penetrating spot.

The old idea of surviving a direct shot from an opposing tank to the front seems obsolete.
You're more likely to be taken out by a mine, artillery or someone flying a cheap Chinese drone with a hand grenade duct taped onto it into your open hatch.
Been like that most of this year, since they started more frequent, though relatively low amount, of nightly attacks, where dateable the missile fragments/remains have more often than not been 2022 or 2023 parts. The slightly more interesting note is they seem to have scaled up monthly production to about double expected - whether that is from running more shifts or expanding/new facilities I don't know.

The west has already pledged billions to rebuild Ukraine, those billions mean contracts.
The west probably with the US being first in line will be awarded these contracts so they give with one hand but get it back in the other.
Nothing is free, Ukraine will survive but it will be in debt for a long time.
Now the cynic in me is saying the west knows this, they know Ukraine is no poor nation with the resources they have they are actually a very rich nation.
Russia right now is stealing those resources, they invaded for a reason, profit being that reason. They had no idea though that in the end its actually going to be the exact opposite and plunge Russia into bankruptcy.
Just waiting for a armoured vehicle “drone carrier” that launches drones and hands them out to operators by flying them to position.

82nd have been moving to forward positions and active in the frontline area for a few weeks now albeit not being used as frontline forces - I'm guessing being held back so as to plug gaps or thrust into a enemy weakness if found, etc., though the CR2s haven't been seen. I really hope they have adequate air cover and are provided with better artillery, even if artillery isn't their main role.
The article makes some good points though - there isn't much in the way of experience units left behind them now - if they do make gains at some point they are going to have to be rotated out for less strong national guard units.
