The Prince of Wales has joined troops in a Challenger 2 tank as he visited UK soldiers on a NATO base less than 100 miles from the Russian border.
Prince William travelled in the commander's turret of the tank as it sped across muddy terrain at Tapa army camp in Estonia.
He watched on as soldiers from the Mercian Regiment took part in training exercises.
The Mercians, of which he is colonel-in-chief, have just started their six-month deployment in Estonia as the lead battlegroup working alongside NATO partners. With 900 British service personnel in Estonia, it is the UK's largest permanent overseas deployment.

Think he’ll be there when the shooting starts?

Of all the ‘Royals’ I like William. And Kate. And I miss Diana.
LOL!
If he is, he will not be there long.
How many are the Ukes and Russians fielding?
900 troops will not go very far.
Prince William seems to be a okay guy. But it remains to be seen - when he becomes king - if he’ll do anything to reverse the Islamization of his country.
Anyway, the British army now has more horses than tanks. So perhaps it would have been more appropriate if William had shown up riding a horse.
Yea. Most likely.
Where will you be?🤡
🏴
Yes, if he is given the choice.
War is for the commoners

The British Army sent their ‘tank’ to Estonia.
Thank you. That was exactly the photo I was thinking about.
The very last job I would want in the military would be on a tank crew.
They are sitting ducks...............
Prince William is acting like it's still 1985 in England. At this rate, he'll never become King. He'll have to flee to Australia.
England is already becoming Londonistan.
> England is already becoming Londonistan. <
Yep. King Charles is not in the best of health. So Prince William will almost certainly become King William. But will he be…
King William the Bold
or
King William the Last
🤔
“if he’ll do anything to reverse the Islamization of his country.”
The Muslims in the UK are not going away.
Most Muslims are sensible decent people. Unfortunately, a very small percentage are not.
King William the Last
Especially now with drone warfare. Seen too many tank turrets blown off in Ukraine.
