A new fleet of armoured vehicles
is to be urgently bought to replace the controversial Snatch Land Rovers which have been blamed for 35 troops deaths (or rather have been blamed for not protecting the occupants sufficiently).
200 vehicles will be bought though the MOD are denying it originally was going to buy 400. The MOD is assessing a range of potential vehicles which will be "world-beating British-built vehicles and will provide unprecedented levels of protection for their weight class."
Aviation Week
looks at some technologies which could produce faster helicopters, something special forces are crying out for. The USN has
commissioned it's latest destroyer, USS Dewey, the 55th Arleigh Burke. A new
Hyperbaric Medical Unit has been opened at St. Richards hospital in Chichester for the treatment of decompression illness in RN divers.
