British troops have begun training on Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) Warthog all-terrain armoured vehicles in preparation for their deployment to Afghanistan later this year, an STK spokesman told Jane's on 21 January. A contingent of "around 10" British Army soldiers began training on the vehicle in Singapore last year to allow them to become instructors for the first formed unit to receive the Warthog. "We have trained the trainers," Patrick Choy, STK's Director of International Relations, told Jane's. "The British Army now has enough vehicles to begin training a company's worth of troops in the UK." Soldiers of the Royal Dragoon Guards, based in Catterick in North Yorkshire, will be converting from their Vickers Defence (now BAE Systems Land Systems) Challenger 2 main battle tanks in time to deploy with the Warthog to Afghanistan with the 4th Mechanized Brigade between April and May, a British Army spokesman told Jane's on 25 January. The first batch of Warthogs are currently with the Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU) at Bovington in Dorset.British troops have begun training on Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) Warthog all-terrain armoured vehicles in preparation for their deployment to Afghanistan later this year, an STK spokesman told Jane's on 21 January.
