Tracked Boxer continues to accumulate test miles as vehicle reliability is assessed and improved. Particular attention is being paid to noise and vibration. It can carry all existing wheeled Boxer mission modules, including the RCH155 artillery gun module. Removable side pods

There’s Overmatch. Overkill. And Oh my God…. 6.8 x 51 mm NGSW.

My weekend reading and conversations have convinced me that any idea Putin is about to be ousted by his own people is pure wishful thinking. From a Russian perspective, the only reason to get rid of Putin is to replace him with someone harder and more committed to achieving

Just trying to get my head around the geopolitical consequences of China seizing Vladivostok.

No longer advising FN Browning, but I still believe the SCAR is the best possible replacement for the UK's L85 rifle. However, I've heard that the SCAR Mk 3 ditches the side charging handle in favour of an AR-15-style cocking lever. A mistake in my view that could see a

If the Defender is goes back into UK production, and Land-Rover starts making the military version again, and the price is reasonable, is there any reason why the Army can't carry on using Land-Rovers?

Boxer on the ranges testing its Kongsberg RS4 weapon station. The situational awareness provided by this RWS is exceptional, both day and night. Though not a 30 mm cannon, the 12.7 mm HMG can still provide a significant weight of supporting fire, while Javelin ATGMs can be

This should worry us in Britain. If our enemies can mislead and manipulate our own people without them realising it, this will allow authoritarian states to assert their political agendas without firing a shot. It's like boiling a frog slowly instead of throwing him in the pot.

It always feels so unnecessary when service personnel die in peacetime and the loss of Lt. Rhodri Leyshon will be keenly felt by his family, friends and colleagues. It was very unusual for two out three of the Merlin's engines to fail. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
