He said that British Challenger 2 tanks had not yet been recorded in the Artyomovsk direction.

"We, on our site, we have not yet recorded the Challenger, but we will be happy to show the result," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

According to Alaudinov, all tanks "burn in principle in the same way."

He noted that "there is absolutely nothing supernatural in either Abrams or Challenger."
