🇬🇧🚛— The newest British Ajax armored personnel carriers, costing £5.5 billion, have proven dangerous to their crews.

➡️Operation of the Ajax continues to cause health issues among soldiers. Despite government assurances, troops training with the vehicle report hospitalizations due to injuries caused by excessive noise and vibration.

➡️Some compare their suffering to conditions similar to “white finger syndrome,” which affects the entire body. Hearing problems have also been reported due to noise transmitted through headsets.

➡️While officials claimed that “only a small number of soldiers complained about noise and vibration issues,” they downplayed the scale of the systemic problems.

➡️Meanwhile, the Minister for Combat Readiness, Luke Pollard, stated that the issues “are now a thing of the past” and that the operation of the Ajax is safe. The program is already eight years behind schedule and under intense public scrutiny.

🇩🇪🪖🗣German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has announced a large-scale reform of the country’s armed forces.

➡️“Moscow is preparing for a new war,” Pistorius declared, explaining that the Bundeswehr must therefore become more mobile.

➡️Most of the reform is expected to be completed by the spring of 2026. According to Pistorius, the main focus will be changes in personnel policy, logistics, and infrastructure, aiming to rapidly expand troop numbers and make the German army combat-ready in the face of the Russian threat.

➡️A key element of the reform is the role of reservists. “Without a capable reserve, Germany cannot defend itself,” Pistorius warned, stressing that reservists “are not an appendix of the Bundeswehr nor people in costume, but part of the armed forces.”

➡️Pistorius also plans to personally address all contract and career soldiers, urging them to extend their service periods.

➡️As part of the personnel reform, the total strength of Germany’s armed forces is expected to rise from the current 182,000 soldiers and officers to about 460,000, including reservists, by the mid-2030s.

➡️By May 2026, a new concept is expected to be completed for reorganizing the Federal Office of Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Service Support in Koblenz. The goal is to handle a sharp increase in orders, encourage innovation, and strengthen cooperation with the defense industry, including the opening of additional branches.

➡️According to Pistorius, the German armed forces must become the most powerful army in the European Union.
