That’s a nice looking set of kit. Modern, capable, and designed to all work together.
Great 👍
and then what
Good that its European kit but confusing that its not maritime and aviation. Being on an island
That’s great but what mission is this going to be for ? Scrap all this and go all in on drones.
UK and USA won’t be happy with this because we didn’t pay them billions instead.
Expect more hit pieces about us to come out.
We could spend another 10 billion, “freeloader” status only goes away when we flood Dublin with “advisors” on ridiculous wages and when we line the right companies pockets.
This is good but we need boats and planes(preferably gripans) we’re an island we need to be able to project some power around our air and seas.
armoured cars and tanks and ………too soon ?
Not to be confused with the FV101 scorpions we already had. Interestingly enough, one of ours is the poster boy on the Wikipedia page

Here come the lads who have reached level whatever prestige on Call of Duty, to give their opinions as military experts.
Great stuff. Go Ireland
A good investment I reckon.
We’ve been using vehicles like the Mowag for decades and they’re becoming outdated, and the LTAV has long had a reputation as a crock of shit. We also have no self-propelled artillery so all of this looks like it’s going to future proof the Army for at least a decade or two, provided those vehicles are good of course.
And a bonus that it’s all EU kit too.
I assume this is for the inevitable war between the Irish State and the Burkes?
Good thing that French vehicles have a good reputation. Oh, wait…
Seems like a waste of money when there is no white water rafting facilities near me
It’ll help us protect our stock of kerrygold next snowfall
Look at that! Turns out we’re capable of investing in our defence and keeping our position on neutrality.
Waste of money, we’re an island nation we need more investment in Air and Naval
Thought it said €18
