The Royal Tank Regiment are already in the Baltic State and are to be joined by the 1 Royal Welsh battlegroup.
The so-called 'Welsh Warriors' have been training at Sennelager in Germany.

Well that is hard question , with increasing numbers of Precision-guided munition that can be fire from a very long range as well as highly effective anti -tank infantrys capabilities and equipment such as Tow, Kornets, rpg, javelines and other systems , tanks can be very vulnerable especialy with the fact that they are generaly very big , very load , very slow and actualy be a dissadvantage for group , for example if you deploy a tank u need highly trained crew which takes time and money to make , the tank is also very expensive also needs to supplied with crazy amounts of fuel and ammo which needs to transported from the place of origin, tanks are expensive to maintain and operate , a 2mil tank can be knocked out by a guy wielding a Kornet system that cost 100k and uses 7k per misile shot, would it not be better to lets say have 2-3 IFVS or an extra platoon of soldiers instead of 1 tank.

Ukraine is very much like the old Yugoslavia. A group of different ethnic people, with historical grievances that hate beach other. The only thing that kept them quiet and apparently "together" was fear of a tyrannical communist party state. They need to sort thing out among themselves first. The EU and to a lesser extent NATO have made things worse by backing the far right parties in Ukraine. Forget the current woke western definition of far right, where BoJo, Trump and British police are called a fascist. Ukrainian groups such as Svoboda and others, are true Nazi type nutters who worship Hitler and the SS. They make no secret of it but have you seen anything on the BBC. There is a militia force now officially integrated into the Ukrainian army called the Azov Battalion, just google it. They are an official section of the national army, with training from western allied nations. US, Canada and others. They adorn their uniforms with swastikas, SS badges and the like. Use the Nazi salute and preach antisemitism and anti-Russian. They are a holdover from WWII, frozen in time by the tyranny of the USSR. There is much more to this story to learn, before anyone can fully understand what is going on and why we should be very careful who we support. Putin is vile but so are some (NOTE some) of the Ukrainians.

Navalny was poisoned then detained under the pretense he was a terrorist and trying to destabilize Russia. Russia is also known for controlling media outlets, you won't find a single mainstream Russian media criticizing Putin or his policies (but in the EU and the US, mainstream medias completely destroy their politician's each week which is kind of funny). The West has unbiased AND biased medias fighting each other which allows the good citizen to hear each position's arguments before choosing who to vote for... Russia only has state controlled medias who aren't allowed to lift a finger against Putin or his government.
