The UK to Boost Availability of British Army Ground Vehicles The Next Jackal 3 came in large numbers

The Jackal 3 vehicle offers a range of mission-specific load beds, including options for weapons, communications, and intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance equipment. Production of the British Army’s new Jackal 3 high mobility transporter has officially begun in the United Kingdom.

Why do we seem to have this constant desire to stick guys on top of trucks with zero protection? Surely we can design something as standard rather than expecting our guys to do it themselves in field.

Just an upmarket Second World War Bren gun carrier. Why no crew weather protection, a fdisgrace. 2:24

[@antonypelling9194]

Looks obsolete to me ,no roof protection from bad weather , shrapnel or drones.

[@pandaDotDragon]

it's for special forces operating in desertic conditions...🤔

[@td6460]

Most things procured by the UKMOD are obsolete on purchase, because the people ordering things have no idea what they are doing and the system is thoroughly infested with graft and corruption.

[@christasker2944]

One lesson from Ukraine is that roofs are no protection from drones with soldiers sitting on top of BMP’s. At least you will be able to see the drones coming with a 360 view

[@TheBooban]

@@pandaDotDragonand why use it for that? Enemy can’t see them with no roofs or something?

[@TheBooban]

@@christasker2944too high, too small. Can’t see drones until too late. To protect against drones you apparently need 2 or 3 roofs, not no roof. As those riding on top of BMPs can attest to.

Could have spent the money on something with more protection

[@Mr.mysterious76]

Really what is the point of this unarmored vehicle in a warzone

[@doolittlegeorge]

Looks like it needs blind spot monitoring detection and safe following distance as well with speeds like that. Definitely should skip 4x4 and go right to 6x6 given operational necessities for Russia Ukraine War and how critical logistical needs are in that conflict. Probably needs a hybrid drive system as well to provide on board power, greater range, silent running and other capabilities for austere combat situations. Vehicle autonomy would be nice as well as could be used a mule for infantry.

Waste of money

[@jammiedodger7040]

We need replacements for the Challenger,AS-90, Warrior and CVRT. Personally I think Warrior should be upgraded and then Boxer both Wheeled and Tracked should be bought to expand upon. CVRT is a unique vehicle with no replacement so a replacement needs to be designed and developed. When it comes to the Challenger and AS-90 both need replacing but I think we could use a common hull between their replacements which would be 100% British designed and built including the guns. But then I also think the Land Rover Defender should be put back into production and then modernised and then start being used in the military again. Realistically I think the jackal 3 is a good vehicle but it’s designed for the wrong Battlefield.

Challanger 3, Ajax???

[@paulhill1665]

The AS-90 is being replaced by the RCH 155, the warrior is being withdrawn from service, the planned upgrade with the new 40mm gun being abandoned, the CRVT IS being rePlaced by the Ajax. To me, the Warrior is the issue, it was a IFV, the boxer, which is due to replace it, in far less numbers, is an APC, a taxi.

[@jammiedodger7040]

@@paulhill1665 Ajax will never replace CVRT. Ajax is like 2x the size 4x the weight it’s like replacing a car with a lorry.

[@jammiedodger7040]

@@paulhill1665 Actually Boxer IFV are planned with the new 40mm that on Ajax but realistically if they are going to acquire Boxer they should also acquire Tracked Boxer meaning there would be one platform for track and wheel that can actually share modules between them. Warrior is one of the best IFV’s and by far got the best power to weight ratio making it the fastest IFV. AS-90 Will most likely be replaced by the K9 but most likely they will also acquire RCH 155 to bulk up the size of the artillery force.

[@jammiedodger7040]

@@Snow-cj4im What about Challenger 3 it’s a good fill gap but apart from that it’s useless there won’t be enough of them,they are built on old chassis and realistically will obsolete in a decade.

People are not learning any think I'd the ucraine war, I'd all the up armor and safety of crew and anti drone protection, what uk does? This lololo open top no armor veicules

[@gabrielribao424]

The British Army troops must be the most tanned soldiers on earth 😅, whats the reason to don´t put a roof? unleast for comfort of the occupants

Crap just as bad as soft skin landrover
