UK Ajax armored vehicle trials paused after another soldier injured – POLITICO

LONDON — The U.K. Ministry of Defence has paused all use of the Ajax armoured vehicle after another member of the armed forces was injured during safety trials.

The Ajax program was suspended in November for training purposes after around 30 soldiers became ill from noise and vibration during an exercise.

In a written statement Thursday, Defense Minister Luke Pollard outlined that trials of the equipment had continued in order to provide a baseline comparison for the 23 vehicles associated with reports of sickness last month.
