Welcome to our channel. All the weapon systems are like books, and they tell us their stories. The Weapon Detective investigates these books, reads between the lines, analyses them, and tells the untold. At the dawn of the Second Cold War, the fruits of new projects give us clues about the future. But current weapon systems also have their own stories. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. While the Second Cold War is rising, Let's investigate the weapons together.

Would love to know who in the MoD is getting a nice back hander from General Dynamix to buy this. They could have bought the tried tested and reliable CV90 mk IV from BaE Systems and used the turret developed for this, who knows they might have to switch yet.

As a former armoured infantry soldier, I'm pretty sure we could of just upgraded the warrior 💯. The chassis was phenomenal. Or buy the CV90. Instead millions went into the pockets of corrupts politicians and industrial fat cats.

@v4skunk739 3 года назад

The problem with the vehicle is actually from the headsets the crew wear inside the vehicle. The sets were pumping in sound from the vehicle damaging some of the peoples ears. There is also a problem with the turret vibrating. All in all Ajax is most likely another money laundering project.

@stevestruthers6180 3 года назад

I'm not an engineer, but from a purely intuitive, superficial standpoint, it looks like the engine and the suspension could be the cause of the problems. THe hull might also have a problem in that it doesn't sufficiently dampen vibrations coming from the suspension and the engine. I can't help but feel that it isn't necessary to ditch the entire project. Just redesign the hull, the suspension system and the engine mounts. But before doing that, it might be a good idea to put telemetry equipment in the existing vehicles to see if the sources of vibration can be pinpointed. Just my two cents.

@scottyj8112 2 года назад

We should have just gone with the CV90 from the get-go, a proven design with many variations with lots of expandability which the Army was looking for, used by many western and Scandinavian countries, and they are built by Bofors and Haglund's which are both well-renowned companies owned by BAE which is a British company. Not an upgrade of an existing design by the south koreans for the Australians, put forward by the Americans and built by the Spanish, now I've got nothing against the countries but I think it's not right for us.

@scottyj8112 2 года назад

We should just forget the Ajax and use it as a lesson learned about trying to buy a vehicle that was initially designed for someone else and alter it and gone for the CV90 which is pretty much everything we wanted and already in use with proven capabilities.

@RTmadnesstoo 3 года назад

They need to get some of those Ultra 4 or King of the Hammers builders to tune their suspension for High Speed Off Road use.

@JamesLaserpimpWalsh 3 года назад

Hmmmm. So they have created a loud recon vehicle that is heavy and has weak suspension. What could go wrong? They would be better off investing a fraction of that money developing technicals which can be bought at my local Toyota dealer for a few grand. heh cheers

@davec5153 2 года назад

Should have always went with the CV90 mk4.

@amarjeetbadhani3616 3 года назад

Excellent explanation.. According to you which is the best armored vehicle in the world right now?

@WeaponDetective 3 года назад

The best is always depends on many factors such as cultural, economic, geographical, educational, etc. So we cannot claim any best. But, we can mention our three most liked wheeled armoured vehicles, which are Patria AMV, Boxer, and Pars. And the KF-21 as a tracked one. We hope you enjoy our answer.

@furiousscotsman2916 Год назад

You said the Ajax may lose certain capabilities due to them needing to be fixed , not true General dynamics is under contract to deliver the vehicle to specifications as stated by the MOD " As acknowledged by the Infrastructure Projects Authority the project remains within its approved budget and General Dynamics are required to deliver to the terms of the £5.5bn firm-priced contract,” Shelbrooke stated. Also a quote from the UK defence minister in response to being asked if General Dynamics would have to reimburse the UK if the project isn't fixed “Yes, provided liability for breach is established.” This isn't a UK problem it's a General Dynamics problem to fix or they lose the contract and they need to pay the UK back , so either we get a working good recon vehicle or we dodge a bullet and go with another option .

Pretty poor power to weight ratio for these days. And it cant fire the 40mm on the move. Doesn't seem like a great combination during actual combat, has it been battle tested yet? Also, good video, thanks!

a turretless AJAX infantry fighting vehicle variant with a raised roof should comfortably accommodate 12 - 15 marines in full tactical gear . . . the raised roof will have two standard roof hatch & both hatches will be armed with a custom (compact) 25 MM GAU-12/U six-barrel rotary cannon & a 7.62 X 53 MM HMG . . .

It looks like they updated a Bradley hull and gave it a different turret. I'm glad to hear that, just like the Bradley, it'll vibrate your teeth out.

@dc-4ever201 3 года назад

I know what you mean but that's tracked IFV's for you they mostly look a generic shape except the new CV90 and Puma/Lynx which look more advanced with their minimal flat armour. Tbh given the problems this is having I think they should have gone with the CV90 mk IV Bae systems already have it tried and tested, but I guess someone in the MoD procurement is getting a nice backhander from the Yanks.

@dc-4ever201 3 года назад

A beautiful aircraft. I had the privilege of flying in one when I was in the Air Cadets, 4 and a half hours flying a maritime recon mission off the Norwegian coast out of RAF Kinloss and they spotted a Russian Sub hiding under a Russian freighter. They dropped sonar bouys around it and practiced torpedo runs. It was an awesome experience for a 14yr old 😁

@omarrp14 Год назад

It’s worse then I thought. The only thing it seems to have going for is The sensors/recon capabilities. I wonder how disastrous it would be for them to just scrap this or relegate it to support models only

@davec5153 3 года назад

They should cut their losses but they'll just keep throwing money at it. They should have got BAE to integrate the 40mm in to the CV90. Some general and politicians will be making bank from going with and sticking with the Ajax.

@voidtoast4880 3 года назад

Good video but I wouldn't use the term second cold war, it isn't that more of a return to pre world war 1 great power competition, not so much about ideology but resources, economy, technology, energy etc and its in this domain powers may clash.

@WeaponDetective 3 года назад

We admitted that you got point, but the First World War was an imperial war, while the Second World War was a more ideological one. We use the world war for both. As you see 100 per cent overlap is not required for such concepts to be used. When we mentioned the Second Cold War, we mean there are lots of Proxy wars without a direct clash between the parties. The political, ideological, and technological competitions are also rising day by day. Yet, we just offer a term. We do not have an academic claim. Also, we are not alone. This concept has also started to be spoken among academics. We are open the counterarguments.

@nathanielwhite8769 2 года назад

I can't help thinking that the Ajax programme has suffered as a result of a poorly defined mission set, where by a one size fits all approach to the British Army's Tracked Amoured Fleets, was taken by the MOD through previous governments only concerned about domestic job creation and penny pinching, as apposed to genuinely procuring a proper Tracked Reconnaissance Capability and separate IFV capability for the future Challenger 3 MBT mechanised Infantry support role, that the British Army really requires.
