Re: APC Development and related topics.
Anyone else think the new "overwatch" (a beefed up Striker) seems like too little too late for the British army (in service 2030!?!) ???

Shouldn't it be on a boxer hull and isn't Spike NLOS / "Exactor" a better bet?

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Australia LAND 400 UPDATE:
STATUS: Still in coordinated Manufacturers Trials w/Army.
Australian Army receives first 25 LANCER BOXER's. DON'T GET TOO EXCITED.
QOUTE: "Delivery of the first 25 vehicles enables Army to continue towards Initial Operating Capability on schedule as Rheinmetall moves into the next phase of the LAND 400 Phase 2 program."
If the HAWKIE Program is an indication on how the evaluation process will go, we're looking at 2-3 years for FOC earliest.

Gotta Go!!

Pat

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Well another update I saw coming but, wish it wouldn't have happened to a program that's ALREADY 4 YEARS BEHIND schedule. I speak of AJAX and quite frankly this is nothing less than embarrassing especially in blaming France for the UK problems with their CITW 40mm when it was the UK that deviated from the loading system design. That I posted on earlier this year in this thread and now again this issue has popped up...

IOC in 2021 well in my opinion, good luck with that!?!
I've got a beautiful bridge in NYC I'm selling called the " Brooklyn Bridge" for anyone interested!?!

Pat
