Not sure where everyone went off track but probably my fault for a poor choice of photo cropping.

The photo is of a pair of missile launchers (two on either side) but I'm not sure precisely what the missiles are called.

The vehicle in question (in the picture) has three armament systems as opposed to the usual two and was originally built in the UK and has been used by five or so countries and has been deployed in numerous theatres/conflicts.

The original question at #467 "What precisely is this?" was meant to draw the answer of something along the lines of "Missile tubes as fitted to a #############"

The million dollar question being "What is the vehicle"

Apologies for any confusion.

So not the "stormer", this is used by England and has those starstreak missiles
Bigger than the 'Stormer'?
(I don't expect you to answer in the next 24 hours lol)

CLUE: Only five countries have them (to the best of my knowledge) and unsurprisingly Ukraine is one of them.

To reiterate: this critter has a cannon, machine gun, 4 missiles(2 on each side), is tracked, made in England, and a three man crew?

with this it must be a heavy tank.

Smaller than the 'stomer' with such armament, and tracked.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61482305

I do not find any such vehicle at all

Not if its smaller than a Stormer; I've looked at Sultans, Scimitars, Spartans, & variants therof. Each is either used by more than 5 countries: has only a machine gun with top rocket carrier (5 or more) or has more than 3 crewmen...

Any 'Warrior' version is also not smaller than a 'Stormer'
The BMP VERDI-2 never made it in production.

FV 103 Spartan?

FV120 Spartan MCT ?
Also used by UK, so.. probably not.


Now watching the rest of the Wembley football
