The British Army’s armoured fighting vehicle, the AJAX, has emerged victorious in a series of rigorous tests conducted in the frigid landscapes of Sweden’s Lapland. The trials, conducted by the British Army Household Cavalry Regiment on February 19, 2024, showcased the AJAX’s exceptional endurance in extreme cold, with temperatures plummeting to a bone-chilling minus 30°C. Beyond demonstrating its resilience in harsh winter conditions, the AJAX underscored its advanced capabilities in intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) under challenging circumstances. The testing revealed the vehicle’s ability to operate seamlessly in severely cold environments, including efficient on-the-move firing capacities. The success of the overseas trials marked a pivotal moment for the British Army, as it witnessed the first firing of the AJAX by a Field Army crew, both domestically and internationally. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak
