In Britain began testing a new armored personnel carrier Boxer

The Boxer, the British Army's new generation of all-terrain armored vehicles, is due to undergo a series of industrial tests starting this month. Boxer is positioned as a highly mobile, protected modular 8x8 wheeled vehicle designed to perform various functions as part of mechanized infantry.


The British Army selected the Boxer in 2018 to replace the Warrior BMP. In accordance with the contract concluded with the German manufacturer Boxer, capacities for its production will be created in the country.

Boxer vehicles are designed to be included in the battle groups of an armored brigade. The structure of these groups is designed for rapid deployment over long distances and operations in various terrain conditions. The vehicles will be used to transport troops to the front lines.

It will be a great addition to the armed forces. Its low logistical requirement, range and mobility make it relevant to any global scenario requiring a rapidly deployable mass of infantry

- say the military to the British press.

The army will receive four variants of the Boxer: an armored personnel carrier for infantry, a specialized armored personnel carrier, a command post and a medical vehicle.

Several NATO countries, including Germany, the Netherlands and Lithuania, already have a number of variants of the Boxer in service.

    What are these new armored personnel carriers, if their delivery to the Bundeswehr began back in 1991?

    On November 5, 2019, it was announced that a deal had been signed for the acquisition of these machines in the amount of 2,3 billion pounds.
    There were four main options - armored personnel carriers (MIV-PM), KShM (MIV-CC), BMM (MIV-A), BREM (MIV-REP), in the amount of 523 units.
    Deliveries were scheduled for 2023.

    It turns out that the British have already buried their Ajaxes? Although in 2018 it was not yet known about their defects, due to which the contract was suspended, they already signed up for Boxers

    - say the military to the British press.
    According to the experience of combat operations on the Ukrainian battlefields, armored vehicles are relevant as mobile crime sites for landing, and the STANAG requirements are observed and implemented by the manufacturer, but not observed by the command staff in combat use. In the end, it doesn’t matter what happens to a single copy of the Boxer armored personnel carrier, it is important that Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, Rheinmetall AG fulfilled the customer’s requirements accurately and on time ...
