Ukraine: Tanks
(asked on 9th June 2015) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether Saxon battle tanks sent to Ukraine are all fully effective and have the speed and agility of a similar Russian tank.
This question was answered on 17th June 2015
The Saxon is not a Main Battle Tank, and it would not be appropriate to compare one with the other. The Saxon is a wheeled armoured personnel carrier designed to offer protected mobility in a combat zone. It possesses none of the characteristics or capabilities normally associated with a main battle tank.
