Under the hood: Rare access to the British Army's advanced Ajax
Built to offer enhanced lethality, survivability, reliability, mobility and all-weather intelligence, the Ajax land vehicle system has been designed to be at the heart of the British Army's future armoured fleet.
The £5.5bn initiative has faced a considerable amount of challenges and scrutiny, but the updated Ajax has been in action on Salisbury Plain, with the Household Cavalry being one of the first to get its hands on it.
In the video above, troop commander Lieutenant James Bird gives Forces News a unique close-up look around the vehicle.
