It gets worse for the British Armies new toy! The Army's crisis-hit £3.5billion armoured vehicle programme may be abandoned, a defence mininster admitted yesterday. Jeremy Quin told MP's he could not promise the Ajax would ever be used because troops have suffered hearing loss, back spasms and joint pains.
"Conservative former defence minister Mark Francois said the Ajax programme showed that MoD procurement was 'completely broken'. He described the vehicle as a 'steaming heap of institutional incompetence."
Looks like it's rapidly becoming a steaming heap of something.
