Awww big sad 😞

Would be nice to see this in a Czech tree or as a filler in the USSR as Czech vehicles already are.

Why british?
Think they decided to buy it a few days ago to replace their current SPA
-MiG-29SM (with a Serbian skin it would be awesome <3)
also!
MiG-29 9.12 and 9.13 getting their R-27ER taken, and instead recieving the R-73. possibly moving up to 12.3?

It’s just finished selection trials and has been accepted as the AS-90 replacement. We’re already buying enough boxers to loose some down the back of the sofa, so a boxer based SPH was really appealing to the army. In service date is 2027 with full capacity by the 2030s iirc. Might be mixing that up with IFV and APC programmes though.
