They look almost like the Churchill tank square turret which will take a side on hit instead of a glancing blow from an AT weapon.
The AJAX programme is in hell of a mess with only 14 of 589 delivered,years late, issues on noise internally etc the list goes on.............sad in this day and age.

Yep, in 20 to 30 years someone will say "Why don't we create an armoured vehicle with sloping sides to deflect A.P. rounds and put tracks on it for greater cross country ability and manoeuvrability?" And people will say "What a brilliant idea. Why didn't we think of that before?"

Does anyone know how many "changes of mind" there has been over the Warrior APC's, between replacing them and reconditioning them?
