Ajax disaster: Another UK soldier hospitalised as Britain eyes sending them to Ukraine frontlines

All trials of the UK Army’s Ajax armoured vehicle have been halted after another soldier fell ill due to vibration injuries, reigniting concerns over the £6.3 billion defence programme. The British Defence Minister ordered a pause amid multiple investigations into noise and vibration-related illnesses affecting troops. Once touted as a next-generation battlefield vehicle, Ajax now faces questions over safety, cost overruns, delays, and its relevance for modern warfare, including potential deployment in Ukraine.
