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.

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.

Ooo shinny...

The Armour on the Front Slope looks like a warrior armour pack (Look at the slope of it compared to the front slope of a FV432). Dunno about the sides though.

And a new Bangstick:

That Last one should be getting to front line units in the next few months.
