This is by way of an
UPDATE concerning the
AJAX. JANE's is reporting with the following ref. the same thing I reported using a different source before the end of the year, where I submitted a
START date change to the right to
JUNE 2020 I believe it was.
From the article "British Army crews will begin trialing the turreted reconnaissance version of the Ajax family of armoured vehicles during the
third quarter of this year, according to the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD)." That's in 2019. And...
"...the
ministry told Jane’s that the first squadron-sized sub-unit will be equipped with the full complement of the variant in
early 2020 ahead of the
initial operating capability (IOC) being declared the following July."
I took a gamble on
FOC being reached at that time (As submitted.) because the UK has been staying ahead of schedule in the testing program to date. Apparently it's meeting expectations and proving very reliable thus far.
Please remember I have no access to the game or my notes at this time. I will endeavor in the meantime to recover that post which I think is in the MBT Thread that also contained a
START Date change for the Israeli ENTAN.

Ref. 3 (Manufacturer) is indicating trials will be ongoing until
9/2020.
