Oh Ajax....I see the general in charge quit!

Just cancel and cv90 already.

Really need to sort the arty out, more heavy armour, those roll caged things they replaced them with are a joke now looking at Ukraine.

Also arty and drones, lots and lots of drones and capabilities to defeat masses of them.

We can't just fall back on US capabilities all the time

Just imagine how many CV90 we could have had with the money that was spaffed up the wall on Ajax and the abortive Warrior upgrade programme. And why do the MoD have this weird obsession with upgrading clapped out 40 year old platforms, such as the Army’s Warrior IFV’s and the RAF’s Super Pumas, when brand new kit like UH-60’s and CV-90 are available at the same or a lower price, with a lot lower risk and shorter lead times?

Cage/slat armour works quite well against certain types of threat especially if the main threat to armour is expired RPGs (i.e. insurgents). Not so great against some modern munitions though.

Thinking more so light arty ,drones dropped munitions, those things would be the new snatch land rovers when it meets those

Ukraine should pull a rapid withdraw, wait a couple of days and then lay waste to Bakhmut with every Himars rocket they have, it will undoubtedly be full of Russian equipment and personnel by then as they don't seem very bright about where they put their ammo dumps ...

There are thousands of civilians that have not left bahmukt. HIMARS are not area weapons and bahmukt is a large place.

They have never ending waves coming at them of ex cons. The russkies always try this informational war that they have taken this or that for their channels. Poo tin has given the order to capture Donetsk and Luhansk regions by the end of the month so they will try anything to achieve anything they can.

Black market being China, north Korea and Iran

Actually Turkey is apparently one of their main suppliers, along with China. USA is also where a lot of the technology in the drones is coming from.

Bottom line is where there's a will there's a way, for every legit dealer there are ten on the black market.

Sometimes the statement is enough. It also forces them to spread their AA more thinly.

Arguably it also makes the conflict more "Real" for everyday Russian's that have not been mobilized and are being fed a steady diet of "We're number 1" and "It's all NATO's fault".

It's easier for them to disregard or ignore the conflict when it's not on their doorstep.
