By all accounts the turret did work in the end and the battlefield trials for WCSP were going well. However with all the delays and cost overruns it simply became untenable to continue. I would say "politically risky" would refer to the optics of giving LMUK more money to continue a "failed" programme on another platform. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scottish Conservative leader standing on a Hawkei at Thales in Glasgow. Recently GDUK has been promoting Foxhound on twitter sparking speculation that L-ATV will be rejected for MRV-P Group 1. Hawkei turning up at the proposed manufacturing site for Bushmaster (competing against Eagle V 6x6 for MRV-P Group 2) and allowed to be used for a photo-op adds to that further.

I don't know what they mean by Southern Asia? South Korea isn't actually in the south. -
Telford Armour Might be related to the Porton Down armour mentioned in "CR3" upgrade.

Indeed. Although the lesson should've been learnt when CR1s had the same issues whilst mustering in Saudi Arabia. Vickers had to rush a team out to desertify them.

Challenger 1 had 98% availability during the Gulf War. Only attrition being two CR1s driving into each other and breaking their guns at the very beginning. Challenger 2 had a similar availability during the Iraq invasion and only downtime was due to a massive sandstorm. CR line has it's share of problems but reliability generally isn't one.

CV9035NL MLU Hi-Res Version

Figured it out. It's a regular turret on a E hull. I didn't notice the different rear and then thought it was a re-painted Omani version as they have different cooling exhausts: I had also forgotten that the version used in Greek trials had a mantle-mounted optic but used the updated periscope: I wonder why it was changed? Previously the regular CR2E was the one being advertised to Greece:

How would you open the modules? There's no doors on individual modules and the tops are bolted. The entire module array is bolted together and only the side skirt sections have hinges To access the supposed top storage you would have to lift and hold the entire array: I imagine that the logic with PSO fit is that the vehicles would be operating closely from FOBs and not need as much autonomy. Early renders showed vehicles covered entirely in slat armour and equipment bolted onto the hull:
