Happens. Specialisation is great.
Sounds like the bongs need to consider procuring the LAV6
Boxer shits all over a Mowag anon, it's the best wheeled apc/ifv available. They are fine. I bet they are laughing that the Spanish are using the Ascod to good use but there version has been in the making for years lol.
is it me or does the Chally have like half a dozen sights on that RWS?
Because Ajax has a shitload of next-gen sensors in it, that's why
It's always emphasised that it is a reconaissance vehicle, not an IFV, for good reason.
Now if only Spain would do *something* with all that

Reconquista II: Electric Boogaloo
Don't give them ideas.
I said don't give them ideas.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Ajax vibrating so hard it has caused injuries to everyone who took part on the test. Nor the literally cancerous antenna. Must be the sensors, that's what's taking time.
Btw, how does it feel knowing your shitty wannabe scout is getting shoehorned into service despite needing 2 layers of ear plugs to be used and increased cushioning mechanisms for the crew that do nothing to fix the fact all of its internals are obliterated by the insane rattling every time, not to mention it still can't travel through slopes for shit. As a bloody "scout."
Feels pretty good actually, considering that
1) networking is where all the modern combat is at, and Ajax is going to be a brilliant performer in this area
2) the vibration was solved easily with additional padding around the CONTROLS; injuries to the crew were in fact minimal and overblown
3) ear plugs are a new Army-wide mandate not specific to Ajax
4) you're clearly getting all your news from the Daily Wail
and
5) is progressing through the next stages of development, but of course with no comment from those whose sole purpose in life is to profit by throwing stones at others' glasshouses
there is legitimate cause for concern, but it's not Ajax, so untwist your knickers, dearie

Day channel, thermal channel, laser rangefinder emitter and receiver apertures
Superior bong engineering
challenger 2 would break down in real war though

Who hurt you anon?
Can you show us on the doll where the Challenger touched you?
held its own in iraq and isnt particularly noted for mechanical issues
Calm down, France was not participating
Why would France participating matter?
>Ascod
Pizarro*
Anyone fancy a cuppa? I’ll start up the chally. We can have a pot noodle too if u like
How come Spain has more active and working Leopards than Germany lmao
90% of the German defense budget goes to pensions and salary
I wish. It's 40%, but the rest just goes into a bureaucratic nightmare and legalized corruption
One day, Latvian is hearing of knock on door. Latvian is asking, ‘Who is?’ Answering, ‘Is potato man. I come around to give free potato.’ Latvian is very excite and is opening of door. Is no potato man. Is secret police.
It's a great time to be a bong
Always was
always amazes me that the US doesn't have a team or two specifically picked out as "the best" that they can send for these instead of sending a tank from whatever Guard unit happened to be stationed in the area at the time.
but then again, we don't really care about wargames, unlike a certain other country
Spainfag here, we don't send a special unit or something like that. We have send what we got in Latvia deployed.
The bongs are the same iirc.
Ironspear is much realistic the larp games that Puccia hosts, the tank biathlon was just a sales pitch to thirdies to buy their defence products.
Its the rules. Everyone sends what is in Latvia at the time. Unlike CSTO with Russia, NATO doesn't feel the need to suck USA's dong.
Can anyone post the Canadian pictures. Im joining at 29 kek
Here's the gallery from the Latvian MoD

Only one canuck photo tho
There is a good video on the Latvian Instagram where they all do a night shoot it's pretty sick. I think the Spanish are firing the coax of the Leo (sounds like cotton ripping so I'm guessing MG3?)
thanks, is there any of the LAV winners with their prize?
Here you go dude

thanks
Don't have nightmares Vatnik.
But can they retake Bakhmut??
This means very little tbqh anon
Challenger is a good tank tho, far worse than the new M1A2s however
>t. Bong
Did Italy really field Centauro in a competition against actual tanks?
Looking at the photos. No. That's clearly the Ariete. I dunno if any Centauro participated but if they did it probably was on the IFV bracket.
And if they did that would be unfair as hell so I have no idea how they'd have lost to the Pizarro twice.
It's pretty insane how often Spain ranks top 3. From Infodefensa's reports:
>In april 2020 Spain took gold for MBT with the L2E
>in october 2020 Spain took silver for MBT with the L2E and bronze for IFV with Pizarro
>in may 2022 Spain took silver with both the L2E for MBT and Pizarro for IFV
>in november 2022 Spain took Gold for MBT with the L2E
>and now in may 2023 Spain took silver in MBT with L2E and both silver and bronze for IFV with Pizarro (Taking 3 of the 6 medals all on its own.)
Do we have the stats for other countries? I didn't manage to find any ranking. I know Norway took gold for MBT on late 2021and France won at least 1 medal in 2019. Looking only at Spain's stats it seems like the L2E is overperforming pretty hard compared with what we'd expect.
God I fucking love the Challenger 2
We, the Hispanics are a truly superior race.
Cnat wait to see the challys in ukraine
