EKA ltd will also work on incorporating british-specific mods on M270A2.

Boxer is modular at the mission module, so you'd have to "simply fit" the IFV mission module. So for the new turret, the budget would be need to be provided for both new module (which is not cheap at all) and turret. That doesn't sound as a good deal. If there is a need to put turret on t...

It would appear a carrier capable Ghost Bat is being investigated, that's good, it's already in development and if a production version is procured in large numbers between the UK, Australia and the US ( possibly also Japan), it would crucially, actually be affordable. I couldn't find any news that...

I believe Boxer already has a version with a 30mm stabilised turret in production?? Well Lithuanian Boxers are equipped with Rafael's remote Samson Mk II turret, Germany is planing to use same remote turret as one mounted on Puma IFV, Australians are using manned Lance turret on their CRV version. ...

I agree if the US don't buy it it is done and also think it would a far outside shot to get 2 or 3 other countries to come together as even if the UK , Aus and India came together the numbers would still be to small 250 tops However if these 3 countries did come together it might make the USMC take...

Unless the USMC take on V-247 then the only other way is for us to go in with say Australia , India , maybe Spain but not alone the Perfect outcome would be USMC , UK , Australia , India Highly unlikely that any country outside US would invest into developing tiltrotor UAV. If Bell does not succeed...

Reading between the lines it sounds like Germany still don't want to openly supply Ukraine with large numbers of Leo2, so this convoluted approach is being suggested whereby the German government give KNDS a subsidy under the table, who in turn give a massive discount to the British Army, which in ...

You say 15 years yet the USMC have restart the V-247 project for their own fleet, with their backing and money I’d guess 2030 is more likely. I am not sure where did you find that news, as far I can find, V-247 was not even selected by USMC and Bell is currently developing it using their own money ...

This is why Iv often mentioned on here about the V-247 being perfect for us just look at the current options it gives let alone what will progress. V-247 does look as a nice solution for QE class, it shout also be able to operate from probably any other ship with big enough helipad in the RN and co...

Somebody has open up a good argument for a debate on the totality of the entire program ???? Everyone opinions are welcomed !!!! https://x.com/nicholadrummond/status/1725209961297310002?s=20 I guess KNDS know what is the best for the British Army and UK. And they are only saying that from the goodn...

NATO selects E-7A as a replacement for AWACS fleet. In total 6 aircrafts will be procured

Even with H145 covering replacements of Bell 212 & 412 in Brunei and Cyrus, UK will still need some 20-30 helicopters to replace Puma and AS365 (?). It would still need to equip 2 RAF squadrons currently operating Puma, 1 OCU RAF squadron, provide at least one helicopter for 22 Squadron RAF (OEU...

Seems like there is official confirmation of ordering 6 H145 for Cyprus and Brunei, officially designated Jupiter HC2. Price of contract should be 140 million.

The H160 sounds like the helicopter the AAC should have got instead of the Wildcat. So AAC (and RN) should get helicopter which didn't even existed when Westland started working on Wildcat. Wildcat was contracted, had first flight and was introduced both in the Army and the Navy before H160 even th...

Didn't the Germans pick the AH145 as an attack helicopter / utility? There is/was idea for it but not definite decision. And it was mostly political decision driven by German MoD as Bundeswehr is/was not happy at all with it as they considering it totally unsuitable for that role. I think that I re...

Apparently first two CR3 prototypes are expected to be delivered before armour conference in Twickenham, scheduled for 22-25 January Q226 Mr Jones: You are supposed to have the two first demonstrations on Challenger 3 by Christmas, but I am told they will not be achievable by then. General Sir Patri...

Seems like Poland found couple of things on their K2 tanks that needs to be fixed (translation via Twitter translate post) But unfortunately, when implementing K2 into the Polish Armed Forces, tests at WITPiS in Sulejówka and at WITU (this also applies to Abrams) were omitted, as a result of which v...
