Re: Boxer / Mechanised Infantry Vehicle (MIV)
K9 had the K10 ammunition carrier, but as far as I know, everything else is a manual loading (PzH 2000). Any reason why a MAN truck can't supply? One would hope that the MAN truck rocks up with a couple of crew to help with the loading, since a 3 man crew will have a much harder time of it than the...

Re: Royal Artillery/Royal Horse Artillery future developments
I find odd we are putting our gun platform on wheels and our missile platform on tracks. You would think it should be either the other way round or all on wheels MLRS was acquired by the UK over 30 years ago. Are you suggesting that because the new SPG is on wheels, the UK should dispose of its MLR...

Re: Royal Artillery/Royal Horse Artillery future developments
There is more to it than just the unit price. If we consolidate the fleet around boxer we are benefitting from reduced logistics, training, servicing costs, there will also be more UK content from an industrial perspective. K9 and Archer would have been foreign orders with UK assembly, requiring be...

Re: Ground Based Air Defence
I am not saying any of this will happen the main thing for me is a long range radar on Mount Adam as in today battles any first wave attack will be drones and BM's to degrade defences What we have seen twice now in Israel is high volume low tec attacks to deplete missile defences followed by slight...

Re: Ground Based Air Defence
It wouldn't be the first time that a naming convention goes awry... MBDA Spear being called Spear 3 is the most obvious example... It's just a yet to be named missile system that currently rests on the programme name. Just like FC/ASW will probably get a catchy name when it enters service, but was ...

Re: Labour's likely defence policy
Have you looked at the rest of the Shrewsbury and Telford Trust its a dumpster fire and it isn't the only trust like it either in NHS England as for Scotland and Wales, well. You are in complete denial. Denial of what exactly? Because I'm all for pointing out the failings of the NHS, fire away by a...

Re: Labour's likely defence policy
You are having a laugh, aren't you? No, but obviously you are. Why is it people roll our the personal (no, second hand) anecdotes when shown the facts. And yet they are complicit in the alleged wrong doing, or it's clearly a pile of nonsense. The NHS is one of the most highly audited organisations ...

Re: Labour's likely defence policy
One of the reasons NHS admin and management perform so very poorly is because people get promoted purely based on length of service, no matter how bloody useless they might be, what could possibly go wrong with that business model? And yet the evidence is entirely to the contrary on NHS performance...

So I take it you work for NHS Wales then? With this link and your previous about health records. You're definitely not MI, maybe you were MPGS with skills like that?

Re: Labour's likely defence policy
Now you are just being ridiculous. Since it seems to miss so much, it can't be that good. Do you have an issue with facts? As for the substance of what I said, how do you think these cases were known? People in a position to know did blow the whistle. People did get caught. People did get sanctione...

If it so efficient to do it the NHS way why aren't the required level of diagnostics being carried out such that cancer and other outcomes aren't as poor as they are? Germany has 70 scanners per m pop, to our 16, their towns and cities aren't spread over an outback wilderness. Because pre-pandemic ...

Not at all, the government hold 'plenty' of such digital information on you already, believe me.... They literally don't.

Re: Labour's likely defence policy
The whole thing is structured incorrectly. Look at the link you posted, take Australia and UK, looking at OECD figures Aus is spending 16% more on healthcare per head than we are. So more but not an unreasonable difference, about $879 per head. They have 424% more MRIs and CT machines than the NHS,...
