I think they resumed testing the other day. “I wish to provide an update on the AJAX equipment project that is part of the Armoured Cavalry Programme. My first concern is the safety of our personnel, which has been at the forefront of the work that has been ongoing over the summer. I am pleased to be able to inform the House that, following agreement from the AJAX Safety Panel, this work has led to resuming the User Validation Trials paused earlier this year and since Monday 10th October there have been eight days of trials. Successful completion of User Validation Trials will allow progression toward Reliability Growth Trials. I will continue to ensure that the House is kept updated on these matters.” More guff.

There's no new news on the Ajax since there trials were halted due to safety issues and the vehicles total failure to achieve any goals set out. It is impressive on paper that is as far as it gets. They replaced a scout tank with an IFV thats 8 Tons with 42 Tons, why the he'll they did this and ordered Boxer which is successful btw and also an IFV is beyond me. Well at least they can take the turrets off these and stick them on Boxer hulls. General Dynamics sold the MoD a Turkey based on the ascod which has never worked correctly. Someone at the MoD was clearly bribed to accept this PoS when the CV90 made by BaE systems is proven, successful and upgraded constantly. An investigation by Parliament and the Police is needed to find out where our ££ Billions have gone!

Since the UK is already on track to operate the largest fleet of Boxers in the world and is churning them out from two plants, it might be an idea worth contemplating to take all the bleeding edge technology from the Ajax and build the most advanced mission module to date for the Boxer, along with some modular armor solution to get the required protection level. One approach could be combining the highest available protection level armor kit with an APS like Trophy or AMAP-ADS. There are plenty of countries that operate the Boxer and would probably be VERY interested in ways to turn their Boxers into light/medium tanks or whatever the correct term for that kind of vehicle is - at what would likely be a fraction of the cost for say a brand new Leopard 2A8. If I’m not mistaken, ordered in small numbers those easily cost €17 million per unit. Imagine if the UK could offer a package consisting of mission module and armor upgrade for £5 million say to the Baltic nations that operate Boxers but don’t operate a single tank.

Will it survive the scrutiny of those who are probably know climbing all over it to rectify the problem. Most seem to doubt it - I'll go along with that. The irony is the vehicle it was to replace was a superlative example of how to get it right first time. The British Army could do worse than use the Warrior as a blueprint and just see what needs replacing/modernizing in the design and then build it.

Unless they want them to act as a battle taxi for spec ops and do and end run around behind the enemy dropping spec ops in their back but a 42 ton vehicle charging across the landscape is going to draw alot more attention than the previous scout SV. Surely a new scout SV could be around 25 tons with modern equipment and the same speed.

I wonder whether the vibrations issue has something to do with that. I understand that this is probably due to the jack-of-all-trades approach with bridging engineers just facing different power requirements than mounted infantry in their line of tasks.

Good video, although they wont be relying on the Warrior due to delays with Ajax, Ajax is for recce, the warrior is an infantry fighting vehicle and is being replaced by the boxer. To think, I almost stayed in the army out of the excitement of getting to work with the Ajax, the equipment on this thing is impressive, glad i didn't as that was 20 years ago, such a badly handled procurement. I also think it is too big and noisy for a recce vehicle, the Scimitar was the perfect recce vehicle, they just needed to make a newer version with better protection, rubber tracks and quieter gearbox.

Scimitar had rubber tracks. All the CVRT family did. They certainly did in the 1970s and 1980s. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

@@dallen521 I think your mistaken, they never did, I used to drive them and fire them. There was talk of a trial in the 90's but it never happened. There was no rubber tracks before I drove them as far as I am aware, I was also the trained mechanic on them and did not hear of rubber tracks before my time.

@@dallen521 oh ok gotcha, they were the bushes for the link pins in the tracks. I'm talking full rubber tracks with no metal. Same as a car, where you have metal in metal contact, you either oil it, grease it or bush it 😁

Yes it was supposed to replace the scimitar/scorpion platform. I can't quite see how a 40+ tonne monster is going to fit the role. I think they lost their way along the route. It's practically a medium tank. It sort of follows British military weapon procurement - design, constantly change, invest to the point of research testing and development then either give it away (if it works) or throw it away if it doesn't. Nation of lions led by a heard of donkeys.

You still need some type of big armoured vehicle with a big gun to support the infantry and/or exploit weaknesses in an enemies frontline, the role of the tank isn't going away because its more vulnerable than it used to be.
