Right now the start date for Ajax and Ares is October 2025

When either of them ACTUALLY enters service is crystal ball materiel

" AI Overview" claimes

The Ares platform, which is a troop carrier variant of the Ajax program, is on track to achieve Initial Operating Capability by December 2025

SO..... moving the start date two or three months further away SEEMS TO BE at this point in time a "reasonable" possibility

EDIT-- https://www.army-technology.com/news...december-2025/ claims "British Army’s Ajax programme IOC not expected until December 2025 "

SO... FOR NOW Dec 2025 is the "new" start date for Ajax and Ares BUT I don't expect the update to be ready before the start of Dec this year so when Dec 1 rolls around we'll see what's happening
