As for Marders; they literally only just started seeing action since 8/20 or so; so the bean counters have yet to catch up with them.

BTW, apparently the 82nd BDE has Challenger 2s, so we should see Challenger II in action "soon".

The 82nd Air Assault Brigade of Ukraine, according to reports, has overcome the first anti-tank obstacles of the most heavily fortified Russian defense line. The 82nd operates all of Ukraine's Challenger 2 main battle tanks. No vids as yet!

But it's "coming", because Ukrainian propaganda is starting to HYPE the chally 2.

💭 The accuracy of a British tank shot is comparable to a sniper rifle. If there were more such armored vehicles, we would be able to achieve a greater effect in the battle with the enemy, - notes the Ukrainian tanker.
