Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters on Friday that the 11-month-long war is currently a "very, very difficult fight," going on to say that the front line is currently "static" - with the exception of the battles around the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Leopard tanks could help change a static situation "They can maneuver across large portions of territory before they need to refuel," she said of Leopard and British Challenger tanks.
