      Yes, today; but watch this space because pretty soon they'll be superfluous. Partial drone autonomy is on both sides already and full autonomy is next. What will be needed then (next week, month,...) are mission planners to program AI-assisted autopilots.

      Remember it's the British MOD who decide what weapons go on the Boxer and sensible ideas like yours will have the "bean counters" sweating cobs. The British Squaddie will be lucky if the MOD provide a 7.62 General Purpose Machine Gun attached to their Boxer=(

      The 50mm cannon! American oxymorans they have a better cannon that this 50mm cannon, will see if are better than the CTA 40mm cannon in weight and ammo capability bigger not always better the 35mm Oerlikon is a amazing weapon with 1000 rounds a min it can out gun the 65 rounds a min for the 50mm cannon that is basicly a copy of the German WW 2 RK-5 build by Rheinmetal AG, the boxer with the 35mm cannon is much better than a 50mm cannon is fast and high energy and put much more explosive power in a target than a untested cannon, you should check the power of a 35mm round

    Why on earth do people use AI voice-overs on videos such as this instead of having a real person reading a script? It's so off-putting listening to the clunky narrative, which incidentally is also quite repetitive and could do with some editing.

The warrior is/was an IFV, infantry fighting vehicle, there is no direct replacement. NB there is a planed 93 Ares, there were over 700 Warriors. The original plan was for the Ajax, Boxer, and refurbished Warriors, with the new 40mm gun, and major systems upgrades, I think some 400 were planned to be upgraded, all of the development work was completed, and the project was about to be signed off for production, when the project was scrapped, after some £1.5 billion spent on the project. Guess bean counters again.’ By the way there was the big announcement of the Challenger 3 upgrade, great news? Maybe, in the small print it also say a further 79 tanks are being ‘retired’ a reduction of over a third.
