Sorry Docman. But the man did wonders given he was a lowly lieutenant .I got the name wrong. So aplogies alround.
Its amazing to see how concepts of operations have developed since the falklands.May be a ltle war is a good thing from time to time....no matter how realistic training may seem ..there is nothing like a shooting match for the paced to be upped.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Just a thought..at 200,000 euro per upgarde and given that the AmL 60s were alread obselte after the upgrades is it not a waste of time. Or is it a sign of unsureity in the Army ...upgrade because we have then...in fear that if we write them off we may get nothing to replace them..as i said ..just a thought.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

'medium' armour
Re the question of the 'correct' role of CVR(T)s, the British have created Medium Armour Squadrons in three of their armoured regiments. These squadrons are equipped with Scimitars and their main mission is to provide direct fire support for light role infantry.

no,
now off to bed with youThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

CBRN seal?
Can the Irish Scorpions be CBRN-sealed? I think that was part of the problem in the British Army: they couldn't extract the gun fumes if they were in a CBRN closed down environment. That was one of the reasons they replaced the Scorpion's turret with 30mm-equipped turrets from the unsatisfactory Fox armoured cars, which gave them the Sabre, used a recce platoon vehicle in Armoured and Mechanised Infantry battalions. (Similar but not the same as the Scimitars used in Armoured Reconnaissance Regiments.)
