I have been sent a huge number of messages asking questions about the Boxer RCH155. Thank you. To answer them, I thought I would do a thread that provides a description of the system.

The Boxer RCH155 leverages British and German investment in the revolutionary Boxer 8x8…

I hope Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 sues the construction company whose inconsiderate building practices spooked the horses of the Household Cavalry Regiment two days ago. The noise basically sounded like an explosion, happened without warning, and caused direct injuries to horses and personnel.

The Greek company EODH, in cooperation with the Belgian-Spanish DUMA and KNDS, presented a new comprehensive package of modernization of the LEOPARD 1A5 battle tank to the LEOPARD 1HEL level, based on new technology and tested parts.
The package is intended for the modernization…

I couldn't be more excited about this news. Boxer RCH155 is an excellent system that combines the proven components of Boxer and PzH 2000. Britain and Germany together will accelerate its introduction into service. Above all, it will give our armies an edge on the battlefield.

Some footage of Boxer firing tests. Looking back Boxer was a great decision and good to see progress on the programme and the modularity being exploited.

A very welcome appointment. Gwyn - very exceptionally - had a spell as Deputy NSA as a more junior officer and did it brilliantly. He’ll be a fantastic NSA as the UK navigates a world that poses ever greater threats to our interest.

With a range of 300 km, ATACMS would make a huge difference in Ukraine. It would likely be used to target HQs, logistical nodes and troop concentrations well behind the front line, and ships unloading supplies of Shaheed drones.

Respectfully, Prime Minister, we need to be at 2.5% by 2025 and 3% by 2030. We need to deter aggression now so that we don't need to counter it later.

Following hot on the heels of the Leclarc XLR MBT upgrade, the French Army has also conducted a life extension programme for its DCLR repair and recovery vehicle based on the same chassis as Leclerc. This formidable machine underlines just how joined-up France's land domain…

The French Army's Jaguar EBRC perfectly complements the Leclerc MBT and VBCI infantry fighting vehicle. Jaguar can provide a forward screening force for mobile defence. It can direct artillery fire or provide infantry units with direct fire support. Its cannon has a high angle of…

Wow! What a stunning image.

The USA has finally realised that if it doesn’t send sustained military aid to Ukraine it will fall. A victorious Putin will be an emboldened Putin. If succeeds in Ukraine he won’t stop there. And when Russia attacks another former Soviet satellite state or conducts vicious grey…

For a long time, 30x113 mm cannons had little utility over 12.7 mm BMGs. Then drones became a thing and proximity airburst ammunition was developed. Now 30x113 mm weapons have become an essential.

Hugely impressed by General Dynamics Land Systems M10 Booker and the way it has breathed new life into the 105 mm gun. Call it an assault gun or expeditionary light tank, it's a highly deployable combat vehicle that offers great utility across reconnaissance, surveillance, and infantry fire…

An incredible collection of machines all of which are relevant to land warfare. Impressive technology but also terrifying.
