Ajax Vehicles: Testing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether any Ajax-family vehicles have resumed firing trials of any kind as of 15 November 2022.
- Answer
-
I am pleased to confirm that a series of Lethality Validation and Verification firings took place between 28 September to 8 November in support of the Ajax Programme. A total of 1,780 40mm rounds and more than 15,000 7.62mm rounds have been fired against a mixture of static and moving targets, including the Ajax vehicle firing on the move. More firing trials are planned in the coming months.
I would further refer the right hon. Member to the answer my predecessor gave him on 18 October 2022 to Question Number 62725.
