Light Strike Revisited: From Concept to Contemporary Relevance – An Introduction - Think Defence

For well over a decade, I have returned periodically to the theme of 'Light Strike', a mobile, agile, and firepower-focused approach to force design that sits

Accepting there is still some debate about the utility of cargo drones for the last mile, one area that seems under discussed is lightweight and standardised packaging. Let's have a look

One can use a shovel, or, as shown in this marketing video clip, something one another level!

This brief video illustrates a Kranman T1900 EX with track kit. An interesting quad ATV replacement option. The rear wheels are mechanically powered using a hydraulic power pack

Media demonstrating the Horiba Viking UGV (now IDV Viking) during an Autonomous Warrior exercise. The 'flat top' allows easy use of pallets

This short video illustrates a Weatherhaven TRECC-P Polar Shelter

Video demonstrating a Boxer launching a Javelin ATGW in 2014

A short thread on plant for light military forces. Not every unit can be fully mechanised or armoured, transport or terrain constraints force compromise. What are the alternatives to picks and shovels?

This short video clip demonstrates a JP233 Anti Runway and Area Denial System in use

This short video clip demonstrates an M50 Ontos vehicle, equipped with six 106mm Recoilless Rifles, it saw action in Vietnam.

Instead of adding additional axles to a pickup truck, does something like the Caron CTM Transporter, as seen in this short video Clip provide a better solution? It has 5 tonne load and 14 tonne towing capacity.

Video Clip demonstrating an Apache launching a Brimstone missile during integration tests

Archer, based on a Volvo articulated loader. This brief video clip demonstrates some of its key attributes

This short clip illustrates a Toyota Land Cruiser with an EOS R-400S Mk 2-HD 30mm Remote Weapon Station with M230LF

Video showing the launching of a Stingray torpedo from a Royal Navy Type 23 Frigate, HMS Sutherland (F81)

A reminder that vehicles other the Bandvagn, this short video clip demonstrates an All Track AT80 Crew Cab tracked carrier vehicle

This brief clip illustrates the MW-1 (Mehrzweckwaffe 1) munitions dispenser carried on a German Tornado aircraft

Media illustrating a Caron AR 790 Evo 5 all-terrain load carrier. They are not fast but have a massive payload #FitsInsideaMerlin

Video clip showing a Contilift Engineering 40ft ISO container loading and unloading syste. Systems like this are not common for 40ft containers, useful I think

At the conclusion of the 1982 Falklands Conflict, and prior to the repair of the runway at Stanley airport, this method was the fastest method to send mail from the island to the UK.

As demonstrated in this brief clip of the BL-755 Cluster Bomb, they can cover a lot of ground. Ideal for targets in the open. This was replaced by Brimstone, but should they return to service, or should we just buy more Brimstone?

This short clip demonstrates an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) based on Ajax. A bit of a no-brainer really

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 Let's discuss… Bollards Types

Video showing a Norcar A7750 articulated loader with an 800 Litre IBC. Would something like this be useful for moving ammunition pallets short distances for a gun battery?
