The British Army will test new hybrid technology on two types of its armoured vehicles, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has announced.

The trials are part of a £3 million MOD investment and the technology offers "potential military advantages", such as reducing noise and increasing stealth capability.

The Foxhound and Jackal 2 vehicles will test the electric-drive system which is being developed by defence firm NP Aerospace, along with General Dynamics UK, Supacat and Magtec.

The move is also part of the Army's plan to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.

British Army may abondon tanks


The Defense Ministry believes that such equipment no longer corresponds to the nature and method of warfare.

The British army can completely abandon the use of tanks in the process of modernizing the armed forces. This was reported on Tuesday, August 25, by The Times.

It is noted that updating 227 Challenger 2 tanks and 388 Warrior infantry fighting vehicles requires significant financial costs.

In addition, the kingdom's defense department believes that such equipment no longer matches the nature and method of warfare. In the modern world, investments in cyber weapons and space technologies are needed.

Official London has already started researching its role in NATO's activities and the possibility of changing it. At the same time, Britain can always buy Leopard 2 tanks in Germany.
