Back in the 1990s it was decided that the British Army needed to replace their ageing fleet of light reconnaissance vehicles that have been in active service for over 40 years. They also wanted to buy a ‘platform’ armored fighting vehicle. This is the base vehicle that could come in many variants to perform different jobs on the battlefield. They would all share the same basic mechanical parts to simplify the logistics of supplying spare parts, training mechanical engineers and giving them the right equipment to maintain and fix these Armored Fighting Vehicles. This is when the Ajax program first came to life. In this video we are going to take a closer look at the Ajax Armored Fighting Vehicle, and see just how much progress has been made in getting it ready for operation.
