That’s why Ajax is fitted with anti tank misiles and I strike brigade would consist of air and artillery to be called in by the armoured/recce element it’s made to fight wars at a moments notice why we wait for mbt to be transported, I don’t think strike is flawed it is just we simply do not have the resources to pull it off particularly at the same time as renewing the heavy forces at the same time. To me this sounds like 120mm high pressure gun, mounted 120mm rifled or turreted smoothbore mortar and one of the many wheeled 155/52cal artillery pieces. For example, in May 2008, rebels from Darfur crossed 600 km of desert in less than 24 hours to raid the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. @Pacman, this “If you add the Royal Marines into land forces you are already upto to 90k personnel which leaves 10k to find.” is very true (though I would not be voting for your force structure) and as the 30k in Reserves is aspirational, should we not turn those contracts into a layered structure? Just because they are not the latest, does not stop them being lethal.
If they have a large US force with them, then they will be fine, but if US attention is elsewhere, they will be vulnerable on current plans. it actually seemed a balanced plan that could provide a force not just for long term peace keeping / peace enforcement / COIN tasking, but also a heavier force for NATO or coalition ops against a peer / near peer enemy. Something that is very important in a fight. Especially when the weapons are vehicle mounted and therefore mobile to avoid counter battery fire. With 2 regiments of tanks, and lots of Ajax spread around the Warrior’s would definitely just be in the APC role with no turreted medium calibre cannon. Ease up on the TLAs, huh? 2) Attack and seize a strategic position, so that vehicles need to provide most of the direct firepower. This puts the common criticism that Ajax can be lifted only by C-17s into the same category of things that really do not matter.
Mr fred, helicopters cannot throw their power into one area of the theatre and then move that focus onto some 100 km distant area all that quickly.
(Aggressive attack?
Multiple Boxer variants, turreted versions for fire support, ATGW vehicles, Mortar, Air Defence variants with Starstreak and AA guns for UAV, and so on. Your point about the lack of artillery is also well made. I get that, you’re a believer in attack helicopters.
Something like a bigger Hovermast + Spike NLOS would do the same trick, much cheaper in procurement, much less vulnerable to enemy air power and air defences (enclosed rotor not visible to most doppler radars) and VERY MUCH cheaper in training.
It’s still a fact that attack helicopters succeeding in face of the Russian battlefield AD (the most powerful one on Earth, and likely the best quality-wise as well due to Western neglect) is a mere hypothesis. Maybe, maybe not. I think this just show how the army are not focussing on a clear objective. It seems to me with have purchased equipment and are now looking for a strategy and organisation to use it. Seemed plausible. For example, AH-64s were not employed in combat during the TF Hawk operations in Kosovo (they were too vulnerable to ground fire), but if they had, they would have had to trade two hard points (50% of its missile capacity) to carry fuel. In all this my biggest concern is lack of all round firepower, and this afflicts the RN too – everything seems undergunned.
