More FLF commitment or is the current FLF getting double hatted. Looked like it could've been 3CDO back in the day but not sure they would be interested in this type and scale of deployment these days. 4X serious lacks any mobility and cant double hat.

The Norwegian government has selected The United Kingdom as a strategic partner, and will procure British frigates for the Royal Norwegian Navy, said PM @jonasgahrstore during Sunday's press conference 🇳🇴🇬🇧 regjeringen.no/en/id3117431/
Pros and Cons of each? Many of our Non-Peer adversaries will be equipped with BRDM across Africa and the Middle East. How do we Defeat and Overmatch forces that often utilise 14.5/23mm even on Toyota Tecnicals?
Just a wee Sunday night thought. How serious are we with BOXER RCH? Could we try to sway the Polish onto AJAX for Heavy IFV with KRAB in return? Im sure theres benefits for both countries and we get a SPG with alot of real life testing?

The cost to keep the Warrior fleet running is high due to a massive obsolescence in spares. Trying to keep this small amount running will be astronomical, unless we plan to strip all Warrior to keep these going? What does Warrior do over a armoured D9?

Austrialian army which would need to cover vast distances, if ever attacked going with MTB chassis for Breachers and ABLV. British Army hung up on BOXER which can only launch the Shorter version of the MLC80 bridge, instead of a MLU on TITAN.

General Dynamics Land Systems UK and the British Army brought the Ajax Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle to Warsaw for Polish Army Day celebrations. The Ajax is being presented in Poland for the first time and this is linked to GDLS UK's offer for the Polish Heavy IFV program.…
Spain somehow managing to replace GS vehicles 6 Years younger than our half rotten Landrovers. Few more years of PowerPoint and 100,000 KURs and we might have 5 vehicles to replace LR.

Spain able to procure 214x 155mm Howitzers. Split across Tracked and Wheeled. While the UK maybe has plans for 72x 155mm Howitzers, however we currently have 14 and no contract for new ones.

Other countries announce new brigades, new SAM batteries, new jets, ships. Then the UK take the stage. "We are saving some money off on jets for the OCU and, so long as you furnish us nukes and air to air refueling, we can help carry some of the warheads". Absolute LMAO moment.
GRIFFON seems like such a useful vehicle to replace MRW? Anyone got a rough unit cost? Would definitely be better cross country than a MRW and the standard beam axles.

Austrialians buying new ABVL while we bluntly refuse to do anything with TITAN, with the hope of deploying half the length of bridge over the rear of a BOXER.
