Whichever side they're on, Arab forces seem to suffer from poor military skills and bad tactics. Both Russian and NATO forces seem to agree on this.
30mm, amphibious, APC w/ RWS, ATGM, mortar, recon, command, sigint, recovery, engineer/NBC, ambulance, and maintenance... for UK that would be Warrior, Viking, Mastiff MRAP, Swingfire (discontinued), FV432 mortar, Scorpion (soon Ajax), Sultan (soon Athena), RC-135 , Samson (soon Atlas), Fox, Samaritan, FV432 (soon Apollo).

We just settle on 1 common chassis which is sensible. For our limited mechanisation that's actually not bad. Should save costs. The only variant out of the ordinary is the sigint one. Drone operator vehicle? Anyone know more details about AV8 TOE structure? Looks like about 4 battalions worth to me.

The UK Scout SV program is their very own F35... decades late and underdelivering. Our recon variant has mast mounted sensor which Ajax controversially doesn't, and they have no ATGM variant.

Designing the interior compartment of every variants would add cost also.

The interior compartment didn't add too much cost but integrating system buying those variant equipment, system and electronic in small number is very costly.

Back then, because of lack of equipment, there was a soldier in a sensitive operation carrying a purple backpack from a fast food chain. I just don't think a purple backpack is suited for an operation in the jungle," he told soldiers.

Speaking at a ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of the country's armed forces, Aquino said his administration had already spent 56.79 billion pesos of the full 2017 disbursement on "big-ticket" modernization programs, the Defense News reported.

Before the conflict in Syria erupted in 2011, the neighborhood was home to some 300,000 residents, most of whom were Sunni Muslims. The suburb contained a number of ancient landmarks, most notably the Green Synagogue, the oldest Jewish synagogue in the world. It also contained the Grand Jobar Mosque in addition to the tomb of the Prophet Elijah. Jobar also housed ancient baths that were built during Ottoman times.

Sure. Costlier than the process to buy new chassis for the later roles, with all the ahem songlap and so on... and the delays? See our navy so many classes, until now I don't understand why we can't mass produce 2 or 3 types.

At least it looks like an okay chassis. Somehow we caught the 8x8 and mast mount trends also. Not bad.

But while we're admiring our AV8, Terrex 2 gets shortlisted for USMC vehicle...

56.79 billion pesos = 1.2 billion usd

thats not really much even on asean military standard, but i guess its a lot for them

Now scraping money to paid off that famous debt.
Also trying to reduce budget deficit.
Ain't easy time for us.
