$7 BILLION - Is Ajax Worth It? | Tank Chats #177

Video Description

Troubled. This is how the UK's newest armoured fighting vehicle, Ajax, has been described time and time again by the British media. With repeated delays and continual bad press, the Ajax programme has been subject to much scrutiny over the course of its procurement and development. Public opinion of this vehicle is, in a word, poor. But is this perception wholly accurate, or is there more to the Ajax story? In this video, David Willey guides us through the problematic history of the Ajax family, discusses its reconnaissance capabilities on the modern battlefield and hears from members of the British Army who have had a chance to put this vehicle to the test. #tankmuseum #davidwilley
