Challenger 2 Tank Moving Quickly During Exercise in Poland
A Challenger 2 main battle tank moving quickly over rough terrain in Poland during Exercise Black Eagle.
Around 1, 300 UK soldiers were honing their skills in the largest armoured deployment to Eastern Europe for six years.
The Kings Royal Hussars Battlegroup was taking part in Exercise Black Eagle under the command of the 10th Polish Armoured Cavalry Brigade and alongside the 1st Polish Tank Battalion at the Zagan Training area in south-west Poland. The exercise included both dry-training and live-firing and was designed to develop interoperability between the two Armed Forces.
Exercise Black Eagle was a key demonstration of UK support to NATO reassurance measures and follows the RAFs commitment of Typhoon aircraft to the Baltic Air Policing Mission and the deployment of HMS Montrose off the Danish coast as part of the multi-national Baltic Ops exercise in June 2014. Further deployments are expected to take place over the next two years

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the powerful and imposing presence of a Challenger 2 main battle tank as it swiftly maneuvers over rough terrain during Exercise Black Eagle in Poland. With around 1,300 UK soldiers participating, this marked the largest armoured deployment to Eastern Europe in six years. Led by the Kings Royal Hussars Battlegroup under the command of the 10th Polish Armoured Cavalry Brigade and alongside the 1st Polish Tank Battalion, Exercise Black Eagle aimed to enhance interoperability between these two Armed Forces. The exercise encompassed both dry-training and live-firing scenarios, showcasing their joint capabilities. This demonstration of UK support to NATO reassurance measures was crucial in maintaining regional security. It followed previous commitments such as deploying Typhoon aircraft for Baltic Air Policing Mission and positioning HMS Montrose off Denmark's coast for multi-national Baltic Ops exercise earlier that year. The dedication and expertise displayed by SSgt Mark Nesbit RLC (Phot) is evident through this image. It not only highlights the technical prowess of modern military machinery but also emphasizes international cooperation among allied forces. As further deployments are anticipated over the next two years, this photo serves as a testament to ongoing efforts towards strengthening defense alliances and ensuring peace across borders.
