@jammiedodger7040 Its a shame we cant make a good infantry rifle anymore as you said royal ordinance that made the fn SLR in usa the LMT company have developed good rifles bought by nato countries including NZ the LMT 762 tested by chris of smallarmsolutions has no muzzle climb on full auto a good rifle to replace sa 80 .

@jammiedodger7040 I looked at it looks very dated dosent it bland really like a scorpion with a turret still rather have cv 90 or the latest puma variant with antitank capability.
2
@jammiedodger7040 Yes but they wont continue with that programme it would need trophy as well to keep it safe from anti tank missiles so if its scrapped after boxer comes in then we need a tracked version as well thats were cv 90 comes in one vehicle thats good is ridgeback esp with the remote control weapon station it can be used for internal security if needed but ajax needs fixed and not through head sets if soldiers cannot travel without being ill then it wont work but they are determined to bring it into service they have 500 hulls already completed .

@jammiedodger7040 Is ajax not replacing warrior it is an apc ifv and ambulance tracked with better armour than warrior if it gets fixed why would they need warrior its going to be ajax and boxer for future infantry the MOD crazy bunch are not having 2 tracked vehicles your lucky getting boxer they are testing a new rifle firing 6 8 round its like an h k type rifle looks better than sa 80 .

Its not going to happen were ruled by parasites only a great áwakening will change it there bringing in 15 minute cities to dictate how far we can travel.

@jammiedodger7040 cv 90 in its latest form is good esp with antitank added feature its better than sitting in these foxhounds thats not for europe replace with boxer ifv .

@jammiedodger7040 The defender I looked up looks like the old shortland land rovers used by UDR in ulster there more obsolete so no disagree with that cv 90 boxer ifv in all its forms and fv432 in small numbers upgraded like thevus m113 they soldier on .
1
@jammiedodger7040 Well you would need thousands of boxers to replace all old stock theres only over 600 ordered.
1
@jammiedodger7040 Well they didnt upgrade warrior did they about 4 vehicles they have destroyed britains armoured developement which cant see recovering under these corrupt governments boxer and the latest variant of puma it has antitank missiles on the turret needs brought into service before new british designs can be made.
1
@jammiedodger7040 Yes k 21 is good but you said cv 90 is old spending money on warrior is wastful as its older again late 1980s remember it comng into service.
1
@jammiedodger7040 k 21 ifv boxer ifv wheeled mortar antitank and air defence vehicles maybe 300 fv432 apc with remote control machine gun 200 challenger 3s that would create a new lifeline of armour for BA and more men to boost numbers around 110 000 regulars reserves 30 000 until resources to build new arms industry for uk thats if these present corrupt leaders can be removed.
1
@jammiedodger7040 Did you hear latest that ajax programme noise issues is suppose to be fixed .
1
@jammiedodger7040 Dodger you have every platform ageing theres an upgraded version of cv 90 better armour 40mm canon and antitank missiles which is nessesary to counter MBT and trophy must be added to all frontline vehicles clearly warrior even upgraded wouldnt have trophy or antitank weapons so really its a waste of time ajax is well armoured if it can be fixed it should modernise the infantry if not cv 90 .
1
@jammiedodger7040 I need to add all wheeled apcs should be replaced by boxers making it the main apc and ifv for all roles these huskys and mastaffs were used for conflict in afganistan there no good for europe no wonder ukraine are getting them russia will destroy these at will.
1
@jammiedodger7040 The problem was when warrior was developed in 1980s it hadnt a stabilised system as bradley had and there should have neen a 4 wheeled ifv to join it to replace saracen both could have been updated later on now britain has no capability to build one under the present set up we need to buy BAE systems over and start from there .
1
@jammiedodger7040 The thing about jackalis theres no roof or form of heating in it for europe its for 40 degree sweat box afgan action like the old desert rats land rovers all can be done by boxer .
1
@jammiedodger7040 Really just looking at all the wheeled apcs uk has compared to the 8 wheeled vehicles at usa and canada disposal they dont have any thing only the foxhound that can carry more tban 4 troops so really until boxer arrives uk forces are in decline indeed.
1
@jammiedodger7040 The defender is landrover type vehicle called coffins by troops that used them boxer can be used as anything you want it fitted out it can be used by police in certain roles as in fantry carrier ifv mortar antitank jackal is too open it was used in afgan war along with mastiff they have withdrawn the panther it carried more troops than jackal had a remote weapons station.
1
@jammiedodger7040 Whats jackal and defender going to do going against russias wheeled apcs armed with powerful cannon china as well they will be blown apart british thinking is crazy these vehicles need replaced .
1
@1chish cv 90 works buy it or something like it and boxer wheeled ifv in antitank; mortar: and air defence roles keep some fv 432 there good for apc movement and mortar platoons these foxhounds and the like there only good for afgan its useless in europe replace all with boxer .
1
@jammiedodger7040 Yes you need both boxer ifv and cv 90 type wagons fv432 is still good for apc role its a good mortar carrier as well its had new engine tracks steering wheel type device until we can get UK in better hands with sensible policies .
1
@jammiedodger7040 Also the remote gun system on fv432 as well as other vehicles means you can work it inside the vehicle good system as long as those cameras are kept clear.

@chad6080 It dosent matter they made a pigs ear of ajax ifv.
