  1.  @stetomlinson3146  Variants on a base vehicle is standard and well attested. While you may argue modularity doesn't bring much up side it also doesn't bring much down side as it's just a slightly different way of making those variants.

  2. That is Ajax

  3. There were lots of problems will LCS not related to it being modular.

  4.  @cyanoticspore6785  None of the variants are an IFV, the nearest might be Ares but that doesn't have the 40mm cannon and only has 4 dismounts. ASCOD that it was based was an IFV but its much changed (hence how it isn't working). It isn't replacing our IFV either it's replacing the CVR(T). Our IFV, warrior is to be retired without replacement.

  5. German development, we were still part of the program when it was being designed.

  6.  @cyanoticspore6785  Ajax isn't filling the IFV role, its reconnaissance and variants.

  7.  @cyanoticspore6785  basically because the army is at the back of the queue for money (plus recently they've had some bad acquisition programs). The plan was to upgrade Warrior like we are doing with Challenger, but it was cut. So rather than one vehicle that can deliver and support troops it's just deliver or support. We might get a few more boxers but it won't make up the short fall.

  8. Essential the same as aircraft have been doing for decades.

  9. With force you can choose not to use it, without your subject to others whims.

  10.  @nazrulizam9264  Not sure your point there, but we did colonise more than Germany.
