A symptom of the British Army, besides abject poverty is its historically uncharacterisic lack of inventiveness and adaptability. The Corps used to be the home of invention and thirst for innovation. It has a long history of continuous development, seeking to make best use of emergent technology. At a guess, wartime austerity and post war financial constraints, combined with preparing to fight THE enemy, rather an enemy, slowly killed the inspiration present in Cent, to the osified CR2. Perhaps we need a new study group to rethink the Armoured vehicles required to: deal with enemy direct fire platforms; suppress or kill massed enemy infantry; provide close support; mobility support; kill the full range of enemy air platform and weapons etc.
Zeer veel mooie herinneringen aan mijn periode met de JPK , ben kannonier geweest van 1979 tot 1988 , Grts
024, hett was een nederlanstalige eenheid, maar welke?
My last vehicle under my command in the Territorial Defense unit!
Grand souvenir pour moi avec le JPK 85 86 marche-en-famenne 13e de ligne compagnie jpk et puis transférer 1 CHA .
Perfect ambush position but once you’re spotted, there’s no way to shoot n scoot.
Geweldig machien. Zijn de meeste nu verschroot of staan ze nog ergens te koop?
Ik vermoed dat de meeste van de 80 Belgische JPK's verschroot zijn. 70055 staat in Brasschaat, 70042 staat in Ieper en 70061 in Bovington (UK).
@@michaelscaplis spijtig. Er staan erg leuke filmpjes op YT waar er geweldig mee rondgehobbeld wordt.
@@wouterverheyden2486 24/4 is het open deur dag bij Gunfire. Kans bestaat dat je de JPK ziet rijden
