UK Army to Field New Ajax Tracked Combat Vehicles to 3 Reco Regiments and Armored Reco Troopstr
..."The new Ajax tracked combat vehicles deployment officially marks the end of the British Army’s reliance on the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked), or CVR(T), family, particularly the FV107 Scimitar variant, which has been in continuous service since the 1970s. The CVR(T) played a critical role in numerous operations across the Falklands, the Gulf War, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Despite its agility and ease of transport, the platform is now considered obsolete against evolving battlefield threats. The Ajax vehicle family now takes its place, bringing enhanced firepower, advanced protection, and full-spectrum digital integration into the reconnaissance domain...."

That is old news you will find that information and which units to get AJAX already in this Thread. Also MOD has made no timeline date changes as to IOC and FOC for AJAX and ARIES however that post did suggest ARIES date shift to the "Left" was likely.

I went through the 2025 SDR document as released by the British Govt. few nights back and there is no indication for any date changes and also verifies previously posted information on the units to get AJAX.

Don,
As you know things are going on at my end but also as usual was getting ready for work concerning my last post above.

This is the post I referred to as "in this Thread" , that would be Post #272 I just looked at it again and feel that unless you want it to be AJAX/ARIES START JAN 2026 as the situation has changed on the ground (See next Para below.).

What I put in Post #272 concerning those dates were predicated on the big push by UK/France saying they would send troops into the Ukraine to act as a "buffer" between the Russian and Ukrainian troops which obviously didn't happen and is not likely to in the near future.

Which ever dates you prefer works for me concerning START dates.

The rest of the data submitted beyond the dates, I still feel very comfortable with. If you're too busy I can further refine the numbers for the armor increases if you would like just let me know.

Gotta get some sleep it looks like my 7.5 miles later today will be spent with rain all shift. At least our highly trained and motivated Special Operations Canadian Geese Security Team (CGST) will enjoy the weather!?!

Regards,
Pat
