Description

Defence Minister Luke Pollard expresses disgust over soldiers injuries in Ajax armored vehicles, despite assurances of safety. Three investigations launched following thirty soldiers reporting illnesses from noise and vibration. The £6.3 billion Ajax project, delayed since 2017, faces scrutiny amidst allegations of false assurances and disrespectful social media comments by a General Dynamics employee. The British Army ordered the new Ajax vehicle in 2014 to replace a fleet in service since 1971. The situation highlights concerns over accountability and the future of the Ajax program, with service personnel safety as the top priority.
