Do health risks remain for British Army’s Ajax armoured fighting vehicle?

The news comes just two weeks after Defence Readiness & Industry Minister Luke Pollard insisted issues surrounding noise and vibration had now been fixed.
Ajax – the British Army’s new £5.5bn armoured fighting vehicle – achieved its initial operating capability (IOC) status earlier this month, a milestone given the years of well-documented problems that marred its introduction into service.
