Major duck

Ahhh my vife called and you beat me too it The Ministry of Defence say they “will not accept a vehicle until it can be used safely” and that they “cannot determine a realistic timescale for the introduction of Ajax into operational service”. John Healey, Shadow Secretary of State for Defence, asked: “To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department’s Government Major Projects Portfolio Data 2022, what assessment he has made of the feasibility of delivering the Armoured Cavalry 2025 Ajax programme (a) on time and (b) on budget in the context of the Independent Projects Authority’s rating of that programme as red.”The Ministry of Defence continues to work with General Dynamics to resolve the noise and vibration problems on Ajax while protecting the taxpayers’ interests. As acknowledged by the Infrastructure Projects Authority the project remains within its approved budget and General Dynamics are required to deliver to the terms of the £5.5 billion firm-priced contract. We will not accept a vehicle until it can be used safely for its intended purposes and until long-term solutions to the noise and vibration problems have been found, we cannot determine a realistic timescale for the introduction of Ajax into operational service.” The Ajax programme, which began in 2010, is intended to transform the Army’s surveillance and reconnaissance capability. However, it has gone badly wrong, with no deployable vehicle delivered to date let alone providing Initial Operating Capability or Full Operating Capability dates, say the Public Accounts Committee in a report released earlier this year. Committee chairwoman Meg Hillier said that the government “must fix or fail this programme, before more risk to our national security and more billions of taxpayers’ money wasted”, adding “these repeated failures are putting strain on older capabilities which are overdue for replacement and are directly threatening the safety of our service people and their ability to protect the nation and meet Nato commitments”. The Ajax will weigh in at 38 tons with growth potential to 42 tonnes whereas the Pizarro weighs in at 26.3 so to say that it's the same hull / Chassis is too simplify things a bit. If we don't look at all the problems with it that it have and look at it from a tactical perspective how on earth will they ever be able to hide that thing “ The British recon forces have a saying/Mantra that goes something like “if your a being seen you have failed” To show how ridiculous that is I have posted a pic of the Danish Piranha 5 Mortar version which is about the same height its easy to hide in an urban environment just paint it as a skyscraper and you wont be able to spot it 😉. Somebody really have messed up on the criteria's for that vehicle it's heavier than a lot of cold war Tanks.

Hi The Danish army artillery school tested 155mm shells with crash test dummies inside Tanks with pressure gages (mainly surplus centurion) where they place artillery rounds in different ranges and if the rounds exploded up close as almost a direct hit or as a direct hit there would be severe consequence's for the crew (Up to and including being killed) just like if they where hit by an IED, if hit at around a meter distance , radio antenna, sights, MGs side skirts , Tracks , Roadwheels, Gun tube, would be damaged beyond repair by the Unit themselves. In both cases they would be out of action. The crew would be unable to fight effectively, just ask those in our communitive that have survived an IED. MD

Hi https://www.armyrecognition.com/defense_news_october_2022_global_security_army_industry/us_army_testing_new_m1a2_sepv4_abrams_at_yuma_proving_ground.html Does that mean we can request M1A2C or Sep V3 for the next upgrade especially now that its so proliferated (Australia, Polen, Kuwait, Taiwan, and US) all the non US of course without the depleted uranium layers in armor. with the M1147 advanced multi-purpose (AMP) rounds Also can we have the K2 and K2PL as these will be one of the most used Tanks in NATO in the near future as both Polen and Turkey (Atlay Turkish K2 variant) plans to acquire around a 1000 each (and Maybe Norway as well) MD

A23 for Conn and A21 for Me If Irish shows up he can have A21 and i will take A24 MD

Hi And welcome actually as there has been a lot guys having trouble with the scaling thing especially if its a 4K screen 4000 x 1000 or there about you can get all kinds of trouble with mouse , black screen etc... if the Scaling is not at 100 % Its not all that get it but a lot do. and instead of sitting alone playing single player come Join 1 of the active groups , its where Sb really shines and since all 4-5 groups play it a little bit differently from each other my suggestion is to try them out for size and maybe time and availability. Best regards MD
