@BenObeseJecty Yet you stand in front of the Minister that burnt the house down. maybe if you the conservatives had'nt been so poor in government, the Armed Forces would'nt be in the position they are currently in.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty I do not understand what you are trying to raise, the variants that you talk about have not been put under contract through OCCAR, so nothing is cancelled, the current boxer programme will deliver what is contracted for and new variants are assessed constantly and will be added

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty Ben, you challenged the current Government over Boxer variants that were and are not under contract with OCCAR, for the British Army, just because a Prime contractor displays a capability dose not mean the Government or Army has to procure it, this tell us everything about you.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@nicholadrummond Absolutement.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@historicfirearm it will be Brimestone, one of the most capable anti-armour missiles ever produced.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@ForcesNews @bfbsSitrep What did you want them to do SHOOT you down,!!! a washed-up MP who allowed his party too gut the Armed Forces, while Chair of the Defence Select Committee. Another stunt from a Clown.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@nicholadrummond I would'nt be buying any Cav's platforms unitil I had the Boxer variants under contract and secured and then looking at what was required across the force structure. Along with adding a Tracked IFV with supporting variants, this can be done with the correct funding and will.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@nicholadrummond My Personal take is we have 5 variants so far under contract, we now need to add another 5/6 they are IFV RCT60 40mm CTA keep commonality between platform and logistic burden to a minimum, Bridgelayer Repair & Recovery, Mortar 120mm, SHORAD Moog RIwP and finally Cav with 40mm CTA

@BenObeseJecty Ben, During their 14 years in power, the Conservative government faced a recurring multi-billion pound funding shortfall in the Ministry of Defence’s 10-year Equipment Plan, peaking at an estimated £16.9 billion to £18 billion near the end of their tenure. How do you answer this?

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@mod_dio @BritishArmy @landmarcNEWS This look's an excellent training capability for the British Army to conduct and expandand there skill set on trench fighting and clearing.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty Ex Army Officer, who know's nothing about the British Army, that's about right for a conservative MP.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty I know when the Hague Declaration was signed, you don't even know what armaments are on Platforms that are being brought into the British Army, maybe you should do your homework and have some humility and manners because until you and your party do you will not be getting my vote

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty @andyburnham Ben, it's relevant because if the Conservatives had won the last election with Prime Minister Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, the manifesto stated exactly what another conservative government would have committed, I did'nt hear you saying No at the time. and needing 3% instead

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@nicholadrummond I personally think the FN ARKA with the EVOLYS are extremely strong contenders, for Project Grayburn, Troubler and Canes delivering the single point of contact with the firearms industry to complete the development and partnership the British Army is seeking in 5.56 and 7.62

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@nicholadrummond @andyburnham @JohnHealey_MP @wesstreeting @LukePollard For me it's a replacement for Warrior, more Boxer, more Boxer RCH155, wheeled HIMARS, Starstreak on both wheeled and tracked, more GBAD and replace L85A2/3 earlier along with bringing all personal equipment manufacturer back to UK soverign based.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty @andyburnham @JohnHealey_MP Ben, did you watch and listen to the same statements by the Prime Minister, the Chancellor and the Defence Secretary as I did, I did not take away from any of them what you are prescribing as fact. I will make a judgement at the spending review and only then.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty Nic, Boxer RCT30 Is not and will not replace Ajax in any shape or form, please get up to speed with what the NAD is saying, I know you are a KNDS advisor but this is ridiculous statement.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@BenObeseJecty Boxer armament centers on a Kongsberg RS4 Remote Weapon Station (RWS) capable of mounting a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, a 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun (GPMG), or a 40 mm grenade machine gun, alongside integrated anti-armor missile the Javelin missile. it's not just a GPMG.

[James Hanlon @hanlo43790]

@RossHaines6 @nicholadrummond Skyranger 35 is a single barrelled system it should be dual just like the Gepard in my opinion, lethal and nothing would want to fly anywhere near one.
