maybe for the Netherlands

now that the Brits pulled out it's all pretty vague, nobody knows what's going to happen and nobody knows when it's going to happen.

btw there are better pictures on these boards though, I'll look for them in a minute ... she looks a bit different nowadays (still a massively huge bitch though )

[Harrelson]

does it have any weapons or is it just a personnel carrier

[Luno]

Great pictures and that’s a smart concept the modular design Hägglunds is working with a similar vehicle called SEP (Spitterskyddad Enhets Platform) Modular Armoured Tactical System

The first Boxer command vehicle will enter servie with the Gele Rijders in 2007.

[sp2c]

it's just the grenade launcher at this point (if the Netherlands still gets it it'll probably be outfitted with a .50 machinegun).

And as said, it's modulair so it'll probably get some mission specific modules with more (or less) weapon systems. I'd like to see a lightweight howitzer module and sime kind of chaingun (as big as possible ) for a wheeled fighting vehicle kinda thing and there's allready the ambulance and command versions

and more bigger/better pics from the ever awesome

But it is still preverred by soldiers/scientists bcause of it's superior armor in comparison to the Stryker. Years ago germans were laughed at because of it's heavy weight!! Now it became clear that this was a wise design when dealing with RPG/IED. I don't say it can hold RPG but it's better (protected) than the ordinary Stryker vehicle.

Didnt know that.

Damn Brits. They always join a program, pull out and then put the whole program in jeopardy. First, there was the Trigat anti-tank missile then the Horizon frigates, now the Boxer. Who is next ? The Eurofighter and the A400M ?

thank you so much for the kickass pics, sp2c. BOXER pics are so unbelievable hard to obtain ( at least for me )

[sp2c]

yeah well we laugh at it too because she really is a huuuuuge bitch
But if you must have a wheeled apc then yeah I'd go for the bigger stable one ... Boxer should be able to take rpg hits though

[sp2c]

don't know really

Never mind we still have this wonder of modern (truck) technology;
