Description

British defence chiefs are testing rubber tracks on the troubled Ajax armoured vehicle, following another soldiers injury. The project faces potential cancellation due to vibration and noise problems, causing hearing loss and white finger among soldiers. Now, composite rubber tracks known as Blackjax are being tested, offering noise reduction, vibration cut, and fuel efficiency. Four government investigations are ongoing as officials race to save the programme and protect troops and public funds.
