UK Pauses Use of Ajax Armored Vehicles After Soldiers Injured

The British Army has paused the use of its General Dynamics UK Ltd. Ajax armored vehicles and will investigate how more than 30 soldiers were hurt while riding in them during an exercise last weekend.

Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry Luke Pollard ordered the Army to pull the vehicles from training and exercises for two weeks during the inquiry, the Ministry of Defense told Bloomberg. Most of the injured soldiers have been medically cleared and are back on duty, but a small number are still receiving medical care, the ministry said.
