Well, it looks like we can say farewell to the
AJAX.
The
UK Govt. via UK MOD has finally released its
update concerning
AJAX in regard to where it
currently stands in trials and its ability with
no further delays in the rest of its trial schedule.
From the article:
"
Ajax vehicles to reach
Initial Operating Capability between
July and December 2025."
"
Full Operating Capability will follow between
October 2028 and September 2029, when the Army has
trained and converted forces to the Ajax platform to deliver Armoured Cavalry capability to the
Deep Reconnaissance Strike Brigade and its two Armoured Brigade Combat Teams."
So, a 1 year "
SWAG" in
FOC again with
no further delays in the
ongoing trials portion.
A note about the first ref. this is released on the UK Govt. website.
At the
TOP note who its from and when you click on them you'll get the same exact article as posted just above. So to be
CLEAR
this is from
BOTH MOD and the UK Govt. official sites.

This I suspect will only be the first of a few more to fall by the wayside but the reporting should make this as no surprise to anyone out here.
