<p>英国臭名昭著的阿贾克斯装甲车在调查发现没有单一原因导致困扰车组的症状后，正在被制造商接受回收，这意味着士兵们需要忍耐。</p>

<p>令人不安的现实是，63 亿英镑的阿贾克斯预算已经花费殆尽。尽管国防部长约翰·希利（John Healey）今年早些时候暗示取消计划，但没有资金来报废并重新开始。因此，陆军将适应车辆的不足，车组将继续执行任务。</p>

<p>英国的 Ajax 装甲车已获准投入使用，尽管部队中仍存在健康方面的担忧。调查显示，报告的症状没有单一原因，问题归因于多种因素的混合，包括不当的车辆操作和环境条件。国防部确认，士兵们将继续使用这些已经花费了 63 亿英镑预算的车辆。独立评估正在进行中，以评估军事领导层所收到的关于 Ajax 的建议质量。将对这些车辆的重新引入实施严格控制，以确保安全</p>

<p>Britain's notorious Ajax armored vehicles are being accepted back from the manufacturer after investigations found no single cause for the symptoms plaguing crews, meaning soldiers will need to grin and bear it.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>英国臭名昭著的阿贾克斯装甲车在调查发现没有单一原因导致困扰车组的症状后，正在被制造商接受回收，这意味着士兵们需要忍耐。</p>
</div><p>The tracked reconnaissance vehicle was effectively grounded in February, after repeated instances of crew members reporting ill after training. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) took the unusual step of withdrawing its initial operating capability (IOC) status pending closer inspection.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这款履带式侦察车在二月份实际上被停用，因为多次有车组成员在训练后报告身体不适。国防部采取了不寻常的措施，撤回其初始作战能力（IOC）状态，待进一步检查。</p>
</div><p>The results are in and they're less than satisfying. In a written statement to Parliament, Luke Pollard MP, the Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry, said the Army Safety Investigation Team (ASIT) found no single causal mechanism, just a combination of minor-sounding factors, some of which implicate the troops themselves.</p>

</div><p>Noise and vibration levels were reportedly below legal limits and the analysis blames multiple factors: incorrect track tension, loose or missing engine deck bolts, and &#34;environmental and human factors, including variability in training and experience, cold exposure, and air quality within the Ajax vehicle itself.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>噪音和振动水平据报道低于法律限制，分析归咎于多个因素：不正确的履带张力、松动或缺失的发动机甲板螺栓，以及 “环境和人为因素，包括训练和经验的差异、寒冷暴露以及阿贾克斯车辆内部的空气质量。”</p>
</div><p>In other words, the vehicles are fine and the soldiers are the problem.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>换句话说，车辆没问题，士兵才是问题所在。</p>
</div><p>This was telegraphed last month when senior Army office Lieutenant General Anna-Lee Reilly told the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee the issues stemmed from vehicles being operated and maintained improperly.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>上个月，陆军高级军官安娜 - 李·瑞利（Lieutenant General Anna-Lee Reilly）在国会公共账户委员会上表示，这些问题源于车辆的操作和维护不当。</p>
</div><p>However, she conceded soldiers weren't being willfully negligent, just tired after long stints on the platforms.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>然而，她承认士兵并不是故意疏忽，只是在长时间使用平台后感到疲惫。</p>
</div><p>Perhaps the MOD expects soldiers to dismount the vehicle in the midst of an operation and check the track tension and any loose bolts in future, to avoid suffering vibration symptoms or having their hearing damaged?</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>也许国防部希望士兵在行动中下车检查履带张力和任何松动的螺栓，以避免遭受振动症状或听力受损？</p>
</div><p>Pollard's statement confirms an Independent Expert Panel Review remains ongoing, with a final report due soon. A further independent review is being commissioned to examine the quality of advice that Ministers, senior officials and military leadership in the MoD received regarding Ajax.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>波拉德的声明确认独立专家小组审查仍在进行中，最终报告即将发布。另一个独立审查正在委托进行，以检查国防部部长、高级官员和军事领导层在阿贾克斯方面收到的建议质量。</p>
</div><p>If wars were won by inquiries, Britain would be undefeatable.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>如果战争是通过调查赢得的，英国将是不可战胜的。</p>
</div><p>All personnel have now returned to normal duties following Exercise Titan Storm last year, when the problems came to the fore once more. The majority of soldiers who felt ill during this exercise suffered only temporary symptoms, according to Pollard.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>在去年进行的泰坦风暴演习后，所有人员现已恢复正常职责，当时问题再次浮出水面。根据波拉德的说法，在此次演习中感到不适的大多数士兵仅经历了暂时的症状。</p>
</div><p>Strict controls are being applied to the reintroduction of existing Ajax vehicles, we're told, meaning the 23 vehicles on the exercise &#34;will be treated separately and will not be put back in the hands of soldiers until we have confirmed that it is appropriate to do so.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>我们被告知，现有阿贾克斯车辆的重新引入正在实施严格控制，这意味着在演习中的 23 辆车辆 “将被单独处理，直到我们确认适合将其交还给士兵。”</p>
</div><p>The issues are not new: soldiers reported adverse symptoms during trials as far back as 2020. A 2021 Noise and Vibration Review highlighted &#34;both electrical and mechanical origins&#34; from the track, suspension and running gear, plus the engine and its mounting into the vehicle.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这些问题并不新鲜：士兵在 2020 年就报告了不良症状。2021 年的噪音和振动审查强调了来自履带、悬挂和行驶装置的 “电气和机械起源”，以及发动机及其在车辆中的安装。</p>
</div><p>The review concluded General Dynamics &#34;has designed and built what MoD maintains is thus far a vehicle which is not fit for purpose and does not meet the contracted specification.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>审查得出结论，通用动力公司（General Dynamics）“设计和制造的车辆至今被国防部认为不适合使用，且不符合合同规范。”</p>
</div><p>All those complications were supposedly addressed in the intervening years, yet personnel ended up with the same symptoms after the British Army declared IOC last year.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>所有这些复杂问题在这几年间本应得到解决，但在英国陆军去年宣布 IOC 后，人员仍然出现相同的症状。</p>
</div><p>The uncomfortable reality is that the £6.3 billion budget for Ajax has been spent. There is no money to scrap it and start over, despite hints from Defence Secretary John Healey earlier this year that cancellation was on the table. So the Army will adapt to the vehicle's shortcomings, and crews will carry on.</p>

</div><p>&#34;The safety of our people is non-negotiable,&#34; Pollard said. &#34;That is the standard our Armed Forces deserve, and it is the standard this government will uphold.&#34; ®</p>
