Restoration of a unique tank
Stumbled on this in my YouTube feed and thought folks here might appreciate this.
Seems they're restoring FV4005, a rather unique test article of a tank.

Enjoy not paying 3% tax for your own defence.
But on the upside. When it goes wrong, it's all your own fault.
Happy Independence Day

Saxon Shore Forts
More evidence adds up to undermine simple narratives The traditional narrative is that the so-called Saxon Shore forts were built to defend Channel shipping and protect Roman Britain from incursions by Saxons and other North Sea pirates. The archaeology suggests that the forts on the British side o...

Re: Visby class getting Sea Ceptor
Back in the days before Arrowhead 140 was chosen and became Type 31 there was the Arrowhead 120 as a serious contender.
It's possible this is being revived.

Re: Nearing a new brigade AD concept for Sweden

Re: Nearing a new brigade AD concept for Sweden
If you have Patriot as a system, CAMM has proven integration with it. Being sensor agnostic helps here. Italy is funding CAMM-ER as Aspide successor. Poles funding CAMM-MR as a cheaper alternative to Patriot effectors. I'm sure MBDA can provide a variant for higher altitude if needed. Certainly the ...

Re: 120mm mortars for the Brits
pdf I forgot to say thanks for the answer. So have one a little late.

Re: 120mm mortars for the Brits
How much of Boxer RCH155 is going to be made in the UK?
German licensed production?
Braveheart is BAE Systems (UK) license.
Who are we fighting alongside besides the US in NATO, where these will be used in quantity ?

Re: Real winter in Sweden now
While Britain and Ireland are famously 'rainy countries', it does seem we're getting a lot of wet weather this year.
Not that cold yet.
