Re: MBT's
It appears that the " White Triangle" is simply a means to identify Ukrainian mobile units to avoid friendly fire incidents in this fast-moving offensive.
The " White Triangle" first appeared in June used by the Operational Command West group of forces stationed near the border with Belarus.
Some want to make this an issue in response to the Russian " Z" and or " dub" this incursion/invasion as " Operation Triangle" I'm more a realist so I believe in " SAFETY FIRST"!

("The armoured convoys are sporting white triangular insignias, seemingly to distinguish them from hardware used within Ukraine itself. Meanwhile, aerial photos have appeared to show Ukrainian tanks engaged in combat inside Russia.")
Interesting about the Challenger 2 I'm wondering if there using the same 2"-3" steel armor plating I noted was mounted as a "tabletop" on the top of the ABRAMS turret in my post on the matter. See Post 1829 if you want.
