A UGV and big fragmentation warhead would be my first two choices

What payloads should the British Army develop for this bad boy?

And if you think this is a Democrat v Republican thing, you must have select tunnel vision. Being a moron is neither a left or right thing, it is a universal quality

And what I refuse to do is to denigrate the American people, or call them idiots because of their political choices. Doing that has an air of Remainers calling Brexit voters thick.

I suppose we have our own arrogant buffoons, but whilst I generally like Americans and America, and despise unthinking anti Americanism that is so common in Europe, there is a small group of US politicians and commenters who are genuine morons

@thinkdefence I saw the official soldier evaluation feedback in 2011. One “parachute regiment” soldier had written (and the team had clearly bought it hook line and sinker) that it was too small as his testicles hung out over each side.

CR3 and Ajax could be used to create a powerful armoured brigade as part of multinational JEF division. Concentrate force, and then go all in on a full Boxer based division, a la FRES. I still think this is achievable, and achievability is credibility

This brief video clip demonstrates a Tomahawk Land Attack Cruise Missile (TLAM) being fired by a Royal Navy attack submarine. However many we have, we should buy some more.

NEW BLOG POST Continuing the Light Strike series, this one brings things up to date with a look at 11 Brigade. Timely in the context of todays announcement about Estonia and CR2 thinkdefence.co.uk/2026/07/light-…

@AleksnderZajac @Zhaktronz or this, the mystery continues!

@AleksnderZajac @Zhaktronz not sure if this helps either way

New blog post on the main site, a look at 11 Brigade and tanks leaving Estonia

@FTusa284 Think our barmine and mk7 stocks were depleted a while ago. We did purchase a small number of fillable off route mines last year I think

@thinkdefence Serious question: what are the UK are stocks of AT mines?

Its not crazy at all, its quite logical. The close terrain makes sense for light role forces, and we can do an awful lot with sensors, mortars and mines, before we even get to close combat. Armour is then preserved for the counter stroke, classic first/second battle doctrine

@tempmil93 @Stu_Lyle See my next article for further details 😀

@Stu_Lyle @thinkdefence And NLAWs out the wazoo too? 😂

@obliteratedpug Usually a couple of tonnes

@thinkdefence How heavy each block

Think these are great for ad hoc shelters and field defences.
