UK halts Ajax tank training after 30 soldiers sickened by noise/vibration; safety concerns persist despite claims of operational readiness.
The UK Army has paused all training with its Ajax armoured vehicles after about 30 soldiers fell ill during a war game, experiencing vomiting, shaking, and loss of control likely due to noise and vibration.
The Ministry of Defence ordered the halt as a precaution while investigating, with most personnel cleared to return but a few still receiving care.
Despite recent claims of initial operating capability, the incident highlights ongoing safety issues that have plagued the £6.3 billion programme since its 2017 launch target.
Over 160 of 589 planned vehicles are built, but full operational capability remains years away.
