Ennek kezd “britt haderőfejlesztés” szaga lenniThe die appears to have been cast when selecting the future “warhorse” for the grenadiers of the newly formed “Medium Forces” force category. As hartpunkt has confirmed from several sources, a request for offers will be sent to the industry shortly. In contrast to previous assumptions, however, multiple offers based on two different towers - one manned and one unmanned - will not be obtained, as can be heard.
According to insiders, the Bundeswehr has decided to implement the project planned in the Bundeswehr special fund with a Boxer with an unmanned turret. The choice is said to have fallen on the Boxer with the RCT30 turret - known from the Puma infantry fighting vehicle - from the manufacturer KNDS Germany. This means that the Boxer offered by Rheinmetall with a manned 30 mm turret of the Lance Block II type - the same system used in the heavy weapon carrier infantry - does not seem to be taken into account any further.
