This thread has always had Phase 3 in its title. Ph2 is wheeled, Phase 3 is tracked. Ph2 is semi-MOTS, Ph3 is developmental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest issue of DTR is out, some L400 stuff in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIADES Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 So how long before we see a delay for Phase 3 announced? Both South Korea and Germany struggling with COVID-19 and Australia is just ramping into the problem too. Delay will need to be 12 months due to scheduling against the wet season etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economic side effects/risks to the program will be more of a factor, imo. Between bushfires & a pandemic, selling an IFV to the Australian public atm is a tough ask.

Plus things like lethality trials and driver training are scheduled to happen in the source countries. as to wisdom and perception.... well about now is a good time for Russia to kick off a European war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
