Articles suggest at least one Only place where that phrase is used is ... Oslo this month set out plans to buy at least five frigates, starting with at least one for delivery by 2029 But through whole article it is talking about just one of already building hulls It is understood that due to the ti...

Just one hull actually, either Belfast (3rd) or Birmingham (4th).

Dutch study for the fire support Boxer. Looks like it was considered as not feasible due weight and transport restrictions.

Nice article from Navy Lookout about Type 26 fleet current progress

Would this be useful for protection against drones? In what way? RT-60 is not really designed to fight drones and while could be used not sure how effective it would be. There are better solutions for this, like Skyranger 30 or 35, both tested on Boxer and first one even ordered by Germans. But who...

According to Bild, 6x6 Patria will replace Fuchs, with expected order of some 800 to 1000 vehicles. But this is still not officially confirmed.

Either it should be 74 in total with 17 Squadron included or 71 without it, for 3 frontline and OCU squadron. Also OCU squadron will probably have more than just 8 planes.

Last 7 are all from the same lot, Lot 17.

Very interesting that Jordan retired them given that they did not have an equivalent replacement at size/scale. Jordan is intending to replace all CR1 with Leclercs and B1 Centauro. Thing is most of these are donations, I don't think Jordan could afford to get full replacement for all CR1 on their ...

Indeed because the vehicle you posted an image off has a gross vehicle weight limit which is less that the weight which can be lifted by chinook. So you are still missing the point. So regardless of what configuration it is(gun, cab whatever) it should still be lift able by chinook. Somehow I doubt...

Yes, that was obvious from your previous post.

Sometimes I really ask myself why I even bother

If something like coyote was towing a 105mm gun I don’t see the problem. How about something like this, because, if I am not wrong this is something that he had in mind https://i0.wp.com/militaryleak.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/supacat-and-am-general-unveil-hmt-extenda-mk2-with-105mm-light-weigh...

Jordanian CR1. Some seems in good state but some are obviously used as a source of spare parts

Why can’t archer be moved by a400m? To big or to heavy, not sure. Info came from one twitter post by Gabrielle Molinelli. We have already done the helicopter move within Europe from the fwd mounting positions on operations so I don’t know why it would be impractical now. Yes, I know that Chinook, P...

Both Archer and M270a2 can be moved by LCU or A400m so both could bring support also maybe both 3 Cdo and 16AA should be looking at LMV 400/600 as a replacement to Landrover WMIK Archer can not be moved by A400. It require C-17. Having two air mobile fast reaction Brigades (ideally with a third in ...

If 16AAB and 3Cdo have a underslung Chinook capability without losing effectiveness then where is the negative? I never said there is a negative but why would they limited themself just to the weight which is transportable by Chinook, especially as both have other means to transport much heavier eq...

Firstly, is it sensible that RM and 16AAB are not utilising similar kit? Seems like a missed opportunity especially if the rapid reaction forces are going to increase interoperability. Aren't they already doing that? Secondly, can everything that 3Cdo and 16AAB needs (on land) be made air mobile by...

For example of a decent video, I like this video as it breaks down things for Project Ark Royal; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM7xTL65quo Yes it is good video but basically it is just a video presentation of this article https://www.navylookout.com/cats-traps-and-uas-the-royal-navy-considers-opt...

To support the rapid reaction expeditionary forces. I am not sure what kind of rapid reaction force people here expect from UK. And against which adversary is it expected to fight. The British Army is not USMC nor it should behave as such. With an uncrewed turret try and keep the transportable weig...

Something more in line with the M10 Booker or the Japanese Type 10 (i.e 40-50 tons). The Japanese Type 10 was made lighter due to geographical issues (lots of bridges could not take previous tanks). Neither or those two are tanks or could take tank role. The CH3 is just a stopgap and recent events ...

Not sure would I take this article as accurate. For example Simultaneously, Germany, one of the main members of the OJAC/Boxer program, was developing its own IFV. Rheinmetall, the huge German defense contractor, started developing the Lynx to “fill a gap” in the market. This vehicle, which competes...
