This is very accurate. The Army of 2025 will consist of one mannequin, as that is all we will be able to afford with the way the Defence budget is being slashed!
"Unfortunately, due to huge paycuts over the last 20 years and the eradication of the pension, we won't actually have any soldiers to wear this gucci kit in the future, but it is an interesting, expensive competition nonetheless"
And here I was hoping we'd have phased plasma rifles in the 40 watt range by 2025.
All great stuff, but can my blokes please have hot water and more than one washing machine between 90 of them in the block?
No British Army soldier will see any of this kit until 2040 unless the MoD gets funded properly.
Amazing technology incorporated into the battledress. great job Roger ... Pembrokeshire UK
An augmented reality marked map in your eyeline is a game changer. Hopefully enabling more effecient communication, lots of possibilities there to explore
Do you need troops to use this kit? That's the one main thing we are missing MAN POWER!
The concept is good and I'm all for the boys getting the top kit but with the cutbacks and the poor gear they already get.. I doubt thisll be given. Maybe tier 1 troops but that'll be it.
They taken the fundamentals of being shot at out off it, for example prone while firing, soldier would have to leave a firing position to see what's on his chest, apply the same to left fore arm so soldier can still be combat effective. Also more gadgets to blast in face in a threat of IEDs.
Anything that can protect our men and women gets a massive thumbs up from me!!
All I want is a decent warm and waterproof soft shell jacket to replace the smock
Looking good bois, improving lethality and survivability is great! Hopefully once you’ve sorted that and filled out the forces as promised, you can focus on sizing up a small bit, maybe a good 90,000 at most with improvements to reserves brought to 60,000 odd. one step at a time hopefully
Gives little confidence when the boss of the new kit unzips the rear area but, can't rezip in a clean, dummy, exhibition environment. What else is lacking!
Not convinced TBH although I'm not a soldier. I think putting all that kit inside a bergen, compressing AR to see-through eyeglasses, hiding the mic and ear piece in the helmet/headgear, and using the gunsight for optics, the attachments to the webbing should be ammo, tourniquet… stuff you can't afford to drop in an emergency.
All I heard over and over again is "we will try" like yoda said, there is no try, do or do not...
Love it
So all that gear including the battery on their back plus a Bergen? What happened to fight light?
why are the sides of the helmet missing
Doesn’t that screen put a big bright light on the soldiers head to aim for?
