One engineering tank towing another looks fun. That was a new 'Ares' derivative of the Ajax project at 16:45. It looked to be making heavy weather of the course which might back up what Parliament and the media are saying about its suspension problems.
It also backs up the stupid decision to cancel the Warrior upgrade. Ajax seems like a busted flush given that it's still not anywhere near entering service after such a long period of trial and error. Clearly, someone took a huge back hander to ensure the army got lumbered with an absolute lemon, especially when you factor in the money spent on upgrading 432's to "Bulldog" standard with add on armour, new engines and transmissions and ECM.
the aging FV434 & FV432 seriously needs to be replaced with something new . . . for e.g. M3A Bradley IFV or the Turkish ACV-15 . . . both will be turretless variants since the purpose of the FV434 & FV432 is to provide engineering support . . .
Not sure why. US still flying B52’s & A10’s following upgrades. M118’s also in use all around the world. FV432 is proven & reliable. Good engine pack, simple to maintain. Replace new with old when necessary, but make sure the new is better than the old. Archer replacing towed 150mm guns is a good example.

Love the new military videos. Hope to see more of these.
Cool video 🐍👍👍
Love it. Almost can not catch soldiers training like this in my country (Vietnam)
Thank you! It's very open in the UK. This was filmed at a dedicated viewing area next to the training range. :)
Very cool variety
Oh my god an Ajax that actually works
What country.? England.?
Yes
