My guess is side split beside the J-11
well, as for things we know exist id say grizzlies are the scariest, moose are less widespread and easier to avoid, bison are common in some areas but also easy to avoid, but if youre camping in the backcountry and a drop of fish blood gets on your pants you are gambling your life on whether or not there is a grizzly nearby
Unfortunately BAE apparently just didn’t want the contract lmao, at least going by their actions.
amazing
AFAIK the Army/MoD wanted ‘anything but BAE’.
Now their tender didn’t start out great but they ended up pulling out all the stops. Also you can consider that if we’d have selected CV-90 FRES we could’ve had full operational capability by now, plus potentially integrated ATGM’s and also CV-90120 may have been considered also.
CV-90 AA vehicles, mortar etc to complement boxer.
(That said I’m a certified Ajax hater)

For some context, this was just after the whole BAE bribery scandal,
also BAE’s initial bid didn’t include UK manufacturing, a major part of any British long term procurement lmao

Yep BAE don’t help themselves, and I could bet you they’ve bribed again.
But towards the end they secured 100% UK manufacturing with their sub-division in Hagglunds.
Perhaps the benefit of hindsight but I think when they got the first batch of vehicles which literally did not work, they should have voided the contract.

Just like that one guy, you know, one of the guys that were responsible for choosing the vehicle. You know, the one that by a stroke of luck got a non executive executive position at GD just after the choise has been made.

Cant javelins be manually guided?
Yeahh… That should have been the sign. If they’d have voided it then, just after the hulls had been received, we could’ve had my beloved CV-90 family.
iirc that was only on appeal.
They kinda did, Payments ceased very quickly after problems came up, but I get your point.
I honestly get the feeling Ajax would have be better if they just had literally anyone else build them lmao. GD SBS did not have a good record to begin with iirc. On paper the sensor suite blows BAE’s offering out of the water.
Doesn’t matter to the tabloids and the court of popular opinion lmao.

Thales has a contract to magic something up by 2027 iirc. So we’ll see.
Probably have a trial between that, Skyranger, and whatever other wild cards the MOD come up with
