You'd only have the bulldog, which will be sitting at the end of time next to the cockroach. The expansion in the Boxer programme makes it look like they won't actually lose out on vehicle numbers. Whether or not they use a turreted module for Boxer to replicate some of the Warrior's direct fire support is another thing. Either way, it's looking like a choice rather than a budget necessity to can Warrior. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much Robux is worth but from what I see, the rouble has barely moved at all against the Euro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post J_Stewart Posted February 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2022 My money is suddenly on Ukraine Not only have Vitali and Wlad stayed behind to fight, but Oleksandr Usyk was in London two days ago preparing to defend his unified heavyweight titles in a fight against Joshua which would have made him tens of millions of pounds. He’s now in the Ukraine ready to be drafted and pick up arms in defence of his country. Incredible selflessness which really flies in the face of some of the “they should just cower in the corner and let Russia come” from a few in this thread. It’s an absolutely horrendous situation and can’t hope enough for a resolution that keeps the loss of human life to a minimum, however, the idea that Ukrainians should just stand aside and hope for a “bi-partisan agreement developed via the marketplace of ideas” is liberal bullshit you’d expect from a tossed Sorkin script. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the army would have canned it in favour of putting the recon and comms equipment into a Boxer variant if they were sure they'd have gotten funding for it. The vibration and noise issues that render the crew deaf in a sneaky reconnaissance vehicle the size of a house? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, vibrations are a part and parcel of an armoured, tracked vehicle. In this case they need to solve the excessive vibration issue. As to size? Well the US army uses Bradley IFVs for its reconnaissance. To date the UK has preferred small vehicles for that purpose to avoid detection, however for the intended purpose I'm not sure that makes sense any more. If the point now is very deep reconnaissance out to 50km or more to provide target data for long range missile/rocket batteries then survivability is probably key, rather than a low detection threshold. So it's a relative beast of a machine at 43 tonnes (the cvr(t) family is about 10 tonnes) with good armour, and a lethal gun for its size to fight for its information. The other metric driving size is the power requirements for it's associated data processing equipment. Where cvr(t) is a guy with his binoculars and a radio, this thing is dual panoramic day and night sights, 360 degree camera coverage, acoustic shot detectors, laser warning equipment, all of which is fed in real time between HQs and other vehicles. Its real utility is as a data node. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
