Business Insider: For the first time ever, a Western Challenger-2 tank may have been destroyed in Ukraine 

* A video circulating Tuesday appeared to show a destroyed Challenger-2 tank in Ukraine. 

* If confirmed, it would be the first time the tank has been destroyed and a symbolic win for Russia. 

* The elite 82nd Air Assault Brigade was supplied with 14 of the tanks and is operating in the South. 

Footage appears to show a destroyed Challenger-2 tank in Ukraine, left burning in a field as part of the counteroffensive against Russia. 

The Challenger-2 is a British tank, and the 14 Ukraine received in a recent aid package are among its strongest Western-donated weapons. 

 The apparent destruction — seized upon quickly by jubilant Russians when it began to spread on Tuesday — would be the first time a Challenger-2 has been destroyed on the battlefield. 

In the video, shot from a moving car, the wreck of a ruined armored vehicle could be seen engulfed in dark smoke on the roadside.
