Yes I thought it was too heavy for Atlas, but, perhaps, C-17 could carry one. Cool, UK could, perhaps, move eight of them a day. Much of the size and weight seem to have been about surviving IED/mines. (Although I would be interested to know how many Scimitar were actually lost to mines, and how many crew)?

Ajax is very large and tall for a recce tank and it does need an ATGM...
