What the petition asks
Ukraine fights with Challenger 2 main battle tanks.
The British Army has 140 Challenger 2 tanks that will not be upgraded to Challenger 3 standard.
There is a risk they will be dismanted and stored.
Ukraine is a logical candidate, since it's already using them and is under attack.
