  8. This. There's no evidence of the "Challenger 3" moniker being real. All documents from the MoD list the official upgrade name as Challenger 2 Mk 2.
  9. Czech army magazine: http://www.mocr.army.cz/assets/multimedia-a-knihovna/casopisy/a-report/ar5_2019.pdf Page 28 has article on IFVs. Decision and Contract by August.
  10. Challenger 2's are currently receiving new thermal imagers and displays. This is not related to LEP. There were plans for an interim TI until LEP was completed but that appeared to have been shelved. From the remark "similar to the one in Ajax" this suggests the TI is Catherine MP based. They were previously used in the Thales Battlegroup Thermal Imager (BGTI) upgrade for Warriors and Scimitars. I'm guessing that these TI and display's aren't new-new but taken from Scimitars being replaced by Ajax. Also a 2015 slide of changes planned in LEP:

  12. 8th seat got replaced by Storage + Equipment on most. Pretty sure that Sweden and Estonia's are down to 6. I wonder if the Czechs would require 95th percentile seating. As far as I know the only IFVs to do this with 8 dismounts and a turret are the KF41 and AS21.
  13. Yes. British Ajax uses Lockheed Martin UK + Rhenimetall turret with CT40. Australian Ajax has a General Dynamics designed turret with 30mm:
