A dozen ? What a joke ! 120 would be meaningful. Still, a dozen should be able to protect the 3 challenger 3 tanks the UK will eventually be able to fund.
You buy a small amount to integrate them into the military, they are used for trials and training others to use them, I went through this process with the fox armoured car, then you buy in bulk,
Six Stormers were sent to UKraine along while ago and I suspect a second batch was sent so thats why it twelve. What we dont know is how many others Stormers does the UK have in stores
They're investing in a new SHORAD project, over a hundred Challenger 3s are on order and it's not like your outdated Abrams tanks and badly trained personnel can do any better. 💀 Get your facts straight.
The UK is planning to invest in a new SHORAD project, what's the point in buying loads of missile trucks if they're spending money on the Ajax, Challenger 3, new artillery pieces and said SHORAD, it seems a bit pointless. Besides, Putin is easily scared away by everything because he knows he'll fail and he's a wuss.
You don’t understand the concept of NATO, do you? The British Army will never be required to take on another nation singlehanded, and hasn’t been configured to do so for decades. It has been configured to be the very sharp tip of a very large spear. So, 12 units to replace 6 Strikers, is a fair exchange.
@@joemerican5781 so by your logic i need not get a burgler alarm system because my neighbours have got my back ? .... or why bother with a smoke alarm ? my neighbours will notice the smoke and warn me ! and lets not bother with a rape alarm for my wife .. the neighbours will rescue her if i'm not capable of doing so ! ... its that kind of wooly minded logic that has got us into the situation we find ourselves in at the moment !
Historically it was down to the fact we expected to either be fighting under friendly air cover or fighting opposition with little air power. We had battlefield VSHORADS and some point defence Rapiers but the air battle was the RAFs.
The Starstreak is considered one of the most advanced and capable man-portable air defense systems available, renowned for its speed, accuracy, and ability to counter a variety of airborne targets.
VAMTACS are widely used and currently in production. The CVR(T) on which Stormer is based is no longer in production. These are an interim purchase while a new system is developed.
Only 12 being ordered. Not sensible to pay to integrate the Rapid Ranger turret with Foxhound unless we know we’re ordering a good number. Hopefully Rapid Ranger impresses and that plays out as these need to be added to the Strike Brigades at Regt level.
It said on the video. They’re replacing 6 Stormer tracks sent to Ukraine. 12 launchers over 6 means more targets engaged simultaneously so it’s a step up.
When will these governments learn, go to the troops on the ground let them tell you what they want then you go build it, these things are a waste of time and only having 12 what a joke that is.
Another waste of money! I like the starstreak missile but this platform is pants against drones or fpv. Would have been better to save the money for a better program.
4 missiles replace 8 missiles? And why buy an orphan fleet? The army already uses Foxhounds or IVECO LMV Panther. Why not stick them on that It seems a waste of scare resources but I get the Spanish truck is cheap
IF THE ENGINE IS NOT HYBBRID IS NOT GOOD, ABOUT ANTI DRONE TECHNOLOGY, I MEAN FPV? YOU WOULDN'T SPENT A 100 THOUSAND EUROS ON A 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS DRONE THAT Come AT YOU WITH AN RPG 7 WARHEAD ATTACHED TO IT, SO HOW GOOD IS TO HAVE THIS VEHCLE IF IT CAN'T DEFEAT A DRONE
Hopefully, this order will be followed by further orders. This is a proven platform and system and its saves in development and procurement costs

So true.😂😂😂

Calm down Margaret, these are to replace the 6 Stormers sent to Ukraine.

Nowhere near enough....should be at least 60 units.
They have already stated this is a interim solution to cover the stormers we have gifted Ukraine.
We have a labour government, interim solution means that’ll do.
Stormer may be a sixty or seventys made vehicle but it's more versatile and than that vehicle+it carries more munitions.
@@davidphillips8416that’s why we are buying two of these vehicles for each stormer they replace.
@@DanielsPolitics1 just two I take it your being sarcastic.
A dozen. That’ll terrify Putin. 😂

12 ! The Russians will be shitting themselves .

They are!
it's a modern hummvee for gods sake, why can't we make our own vehicles anymore.
The British military really seems lacking in air defense for some reason.
Historically it was down to the fact we expected to either be fighting under friendly air cover or fighting opposition with little air power. We had battlefield VSHORADS and some point defence Rapiers but the air battle was the RAFs.
It's a horrible knock-on from end of cold war when every government cut defence spending , and here we are today with a belligerent russian bogeyman .
Including a small amount of suitable aircraft..
Let alone just a dozen of these vehicles
Some protection, eh ?
That didn’t used to be the case when they had the Markman.
Hopefully will get tracked boxer soon and we will get a Anti-Air boxer module.
@@SteveJones-om6ks Now it's the infantryman's let alone bigger ground assets like Armor with drone warfare.
❤tht 😮😮😮😮awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 😎

and its laser guided, so you can't jam it and it's very fast
It’s the British that are saying that. The Ukrainians don’t seem to think much of them.
true and yet the brits can't make a vehicle good enough to carry it,
lol it reminds me about the ADATS
but the UK needs a SPAAG, and the best choice is the Boxer Skyranger 30
that starstreak missile is ace. it would be like having 3 ww2 churchill tanks shoot your apc/helicopter or plane
even an A10 or apache would be obliterated
@@andyf4292 I seen a video of a ka50 literally cut in half by that missile.
I reckon it’d be better on a Hawkei or Buhmaster!? ADF
Why mount on a totally new vehicle rather than a type already in service???

@@SteveJones-om6ksSpot on Mate!
@@garyyoung3179 not in service with uk! They should have put it on a panther or foxhound
Why only 12
Probably due to budget
That hilarious isn't it ? 12 ffs.
Ps thinking about it, it's prolly just for covering London or the PM, king or Prince of Wales, just the vip bits.

@@Stroopwaffe1you could always pay for it yourself and have it parked on your driveway. 🤷♂️
Due to corruption in Kiev.
Enough to defend Buckingham palace and 10 Downing Street.
So you're telling me there were no suitable British made vehicles?
Yes, what else is new?
🇪🇸💪🏼
Their r awesome ❤gees 2 eh
When will these governments learn, go to the troops on the ground let them tell you what they want then you go build it, these things are a waste of time and only having 12 what a joke that is.
Wow juet 12 what a joke for British army
Another waste of money! I like the starstreak missile but this platform is pants against drones or fpv. Would have been better to save the money for a better program.
Lol pathetic, they bought 12… what a joke. If the bought 1000 then you’d know they were serious, but measly 12 - you can’t cover jack s### w 12. 😂😂😂
Looks a badbhoy
4 missiles replace 8 missiles?
And why buy an orphan fleet? The army already uses Foxhounds or IVECO LMV Panther. Why not stick them on that
