Bad Vibrations: UK’s Ajax Fighting Vehicles Put On Pause After Troops Get Sick
https://www.facebook.com/share/1AYFTCKrAz/The British Army has been forced to stop the use of its Ajax armoured fighting vehicle after dozens of soldiers fell ill due to vibration and hearing problems, The Times can reveal.
Soldiers emerged from the £10 million vehicles vomiting while others were said to be shaking so violently they could not control their bodies after war games on Salisbury Plain, sources said. Others had weakness in their legs.
Thirty-one soldiers from the Household Cavalry and the Royal Lancers were affected after they spent 10 to 15 hours in the vehicle, two sources said.
The Titan Storm exercise took place over the weekend, only weeks after Luke Pollard, a defence minister, showcased the vehicles and declared them safe for operations.
