Corrected UK OOB

[Listy]

New Info on a major change in the UK OOB.

Due to FRES being so far in the future (Aprox 2015, at best) the MOD have started re-building FV432's and issuing them, so they have new engines, suspension, steering and add on armour. The net result is performance comparable to Warrior.

What I've found out.

FV432 Mk3
Being issued to battalions called AI Mech infantry.

Some have claimed 60MPH cross country, but I think they where reading the Speedo wrong and it was KPH. Which is much more believable, and about the same performance as warrior, which was the aim.

Extra armour only on the sides of the vehicle.

A remoute weapon station.

As of now, apparently two companies of the 2nd bat, Royal Green Jackets are mounted in them (1HQ Company + 1 Rifle company). Latter 1 Batt of the Royal Anglian will be upgraded to this vehicle. Another battalion will be using them by 2008. Also issued to AI units currently using the FV432 Mk2.

PS: Can we have Snatch Rovers in the OOB now?
