Re: APC Development and related topics.
Well, I need a short break from the war and went looking for information concerning the AJAX which should've been in service about 8 years ago or so.
It seems " GD" around OCT 2022 had made adjustments to the AJAX to reduce the vibration and noise levels to an " acceptable" level.
I cannot not for sure say the Reliability Growth Trials have started this month as planned for AJAX.
ASSUMING they have as it currently stands from MOD, those trials WILL NOT be completed before JUN 2024 or JAN 2025. (They use the Normal Calendar year.) . The following are from NOV & DEC 26, 2022.
I'll be providing the " click on" links from the article as they appear in it.

https://assets.publishing.service.go...22_to_2032.pdf
(PAGE 29 IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. AS THE ARTICLE STATED THERE ARE NO SERVICE-CONNECTED DATES i.e., IOC/FOC FOR EITHER AJAX OR BOXER.)
I've been posting on this for OVER 14 years (2008) now (Indias ARJUN was ONLY 10 years by comparison.) back then it was the FRES-SV Program which was another disaster. For background purposes...

Re: APC Development and related topics.
The date I have in the V17 OOB is 1/125. What you see in yours was changed months ago.There's an even chance it will be later than that

Re: APC Development and related topics.
BRADLEY status sort of for Ukraine.
Prepping for shipment for training purposes. Also, USA moving forward into Poland to support maintenace operations there for our units in country and further support of BRADLEY's before shipping them to the Ukraine once training is complete.

The Washington Times - Friday, February 17, 2023
The first group of Ukrainian soldiers completed training this week on the U.S.-supplied M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle at the Army’s Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany, U.S. military officials said Friday.
...
More than 630 Ukrainian soldiers completed the five-week training program on how to operate the M2 Bradley in combat. The instructions also included basic soldier tasks such as marksmanship and medical training and a final battalion-level force-on-force exercise, Pentagon officials said Friday.
...
More battalion-level combined arms training classes are already underway at the Grafenwoehr Training Area. Another Ukrainian battalion began training on the M2 Bradley before the first group graduated, military officials said.
American troops are also training Ukrainian artillery soldiers on the M109 Paladin howitzer. Next week, an infantry battalion will receive instructions on the M1126 Stryker, officials said.

I'm thinking April/May is when we see the US gear (Bradley/Stryker/M109 Paladin) enter major combat -- right now we're training the trainers, who will in turn train more people themselves...

Of course, we will all look back a year from now with hindsight that will be 20/20 and I still have another month and a half or so to nail down a better number that will no doubt, probably be wrong but FOR NOW I have the Stykers in 4/23 and the Bradleys 5/23 only because the learning curve is steeper for the Brads and FOR NOW the Abrams is 9/23 and that could all change tomorrow..... or this afternoon.... or not at all and if a true breakthrough is made and everything is needed to plug the hole then everything could change......again
