Re: MBT's
And the " winner" is the Challenger 2 as the first Western tank to operate on Russian soil during combat operations as part of the KURSK Operations.
Reports are indicating they have lost 2 of the 14 they have during those operations.

The situation must really " gall" the Russians that a foreign invader is running around the site of the largest tank battle ever fought (6,000+ tanks and slightly over 2 million troops.) and arguably one of Russia's greatest victories on land. So far, the Ukrainians have captured an area of around 1,000 sq. miles. Yesterday or day before they took out a major bridge in the area to restrict a Russian response from that immediate area.

(And people wonder why we kill spies.)
Very nicely done on the ICON, " KISS" usually is best suited for things like that.
