The promo video was kind of funny, they show a Boxer all covered in a Union Jack paint scheme but it carries troops wearing what looks like German desert flektarn and carrying G36s.

Vehicles like this would be at the top of my list to find if there was ever a zombie apocalypse. They're easier to drive and maintain than a tracked vehicle while still having enough armor protection to protect you from zombies and people with guns. They also have the benefit of a fair amount of interior space so you could drive around with a small squad of people or just you and a few friends with lots of room for carrying supplies.

I think the British, definitely should acquire this Vehicle. It looks like a very capable machine. But most importantly, these vehicles should only be purchased if they all have that glorious paint job. The enemy would never know what hit them.

Nice vid Matsimus!! It's a right choice for a wheeled thank and definitely, it will helps the troops a lot.

The UK was involved in the initial development of the Boxer, it was to be a joint effort under the FRES plan but events elsewhere and a restricted budget saw us pull out. I was a bit saddened by that as it did seem to be a very promising vehicle at the time (and it has that splendidly thunderbirds element of interchangeable rear modules). So it is a good vehicle but we lost the chance to have one designed by our guys for our guys, which is a pity. Since FRES we haven't really had a Plan as such (at least not one I can see) and failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Lets hope we now concentrate on our needs. BAe seems to have decamped to the US so we are not going to be developing any British vehicles any time soon and this looks like a good option.

Totally awesome amazing job.Thank you so much for everything

Im in the 1st battalion Scots Guards and we just came off exercise lighting ace working with the German boxer company attached to us. The jock guards are joining the new strike brigade in 2019/20. The boxer is an unbelievable bit of kit! Compared with the mastiff, it’s leagues ahead. We definitely need this bit of kit

I worked with the brits up in Suffield, AB on an excersice in October. We were showing them how we employ our Lavs in a Mechanized Infantry role cause they were looking for a 8 by 8 and how to use it. I'm happy to see that all that information actually helped and came to use

whats the proper british equivalent of "'Murica! FUCK YEAH!"? cause that union jack flag camo scheme is just screaming for a british version of it XD

It seems dear chap that we are going full circle as I remember the days of old working on the likes of AFVs by the names of FERET, FOX and SALADIN armoured cars so this is nothing new for the British Army. By jove they were jolly nice to work on and even nicer to drive :).On a side note I think a condition of contract has to be that they are built in the UK.

Matsimus for fuck sake that is beautiful . A flag flavoured Boxer . Look up the Shaman 8x8 . You will appreciate it . It can be driven on the road .

I'm for the strike brigades because we have needed them for a long time. However what about the main force which keeps getting cut and cut. It's about time for all round more money and soldiers for the British Armed forces

the boxer is a great choice for their 8x8 probably the best in the world.

This Armoured Vehicle looks very beastly and very sexy at the same time I feel like it can get the job done

good content, im late to it but always appreciated, love from ontario

Think this is a great choice for the army, and very well done by the MoD. Great video mate!

Nice Video! I saw: German Camo, German Weapons, German developed IFV......our germanic brothers on the island should buy it, you also bought our Jäger90 projekt, ähem...I mean, your Eurofigher Typhoon :) lol

Guys I am always very happy to have Germany and the UK work together. The two countries can work extremely effective together (if no German politician is in the way) and share a lot of knowledge. I look forward to have the UK in the program and to see more developments on this extremely modular vehicle. Good choice. P.S. Update: The Vehicle will be assembled in the UK the first small batch will be done in Germany to train the British and do the knowledge - transfer. There are 2 sites in the UK where it will be built.

Lithuania has ordered 88 of those with 30mm guns and anti-tank missiles. Awaiting first combat-ready units to get delivered later this year. We did actually have a bid with at least 7 participants including all current market leaders (Piranha V, Patria etc). Interestingly the Boxer was not the cheapest of the 'best value for money'. In fact it was the most expensive among the bidders and the choice was made consciously with the purpose of getting the best thing that currently exists in the market pretty much ignoring the price. Really impatient to see them in action. Those are amazing machines.

As an American of Canadian-English descent, I think it looks FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!. WHEN CAN I EXPECT DELIVERY?

I saw one of these at my local mercedes dealerships ! Nice !

im a german student officer and i have worked alongside the boxer in exercieses. it is a magnificent vehicle, thats for sure! hope the british buy this vehicle

That looks fantastic !!!!

The 40mm is telescopic cased, not caseless . Now it might be possible to upgrade to a 40mm telescoped polymer case.

Hi Matsimus i have an idea for a series you could do ,the idea is what type of tank would suit a particular country eg Ireland or Belgium.

What a gorgeous vehicle.

noticed in the promotional videos they showed the Australian version of the vehicle that we are looking at purchasing to replace the Aslav These types of vehicles have served us for over 20 years in East Timor and Afghanistan and I rock they are absolutely ideal and perfect for our top warfare and highly recommend them

Are the MOD also not favouring the boxer as Britain was involved for the first 4 years of development and prototypes?

It feels good if Britain wants to buy our stuff. You allways where a honorable and our favourite competition.

Nice paint job! It like telling your enemy, Here's a nice target! 🤣😅😆

Very nice vehicle!

The A 400M can carry 37 tons, the maximum weight the Boxer(25,2 tons) can handle without modification is 36 tons(which should be the weight of the version, because the M270 MLRS weighs 21 tons empty and the Donar with the same chassis and the gun module now on the Boxer weighs 31,5 tons empty. Due to the differnence in armor it could be even less)

Hey Matismus can u do a video on the 2020 refinements when they plan to reform into strike brigades n stuff :)

Makes sense they go for this one, after all they joined the program to design and build it in the first place before leaving it so they at least have some connection to it.

Sure they won't take a lot of Shots but you would still be able to go with Tires Flattened, because there is an Emergency Buffer (Notlauf Polster) made of (Solid?) Rubber under the Airfilled Part so that The Vehicle is Still Able to Drive when Hit.

Very cool

Oh, also there's a wesbite called "below the turret ring" to help you research the topic of APS if you decide to make a video about it

Oh my yes the best camo for a vehicle also best 8 by 8 I’ve ever seen

Interesting here is the fact the british actually want to use the AJAX as a multipurpose base, and the Boxer only as MIVF. Should've done it the other way around.

well good news for the British Military, the troop transport version of the Boxer already comes with an electirc kettle included :D

Can you perhaps do a video on the Canadian cougar

Get use to waiting! The Canadian military is very much a hurray up and wait. It was like that 30 years ago when I was in and the same now with my son. But I wish I could have been a tracked jockey like you were.

If you are going to adopt it, I hope you adopt a few with a turret with a 105mm cannon. one of the best things the French have in Mali (I think) is the ERC-90 amphibious wheeled tank destroyer/firesupport vehicle.

When you unlock a new camo for your british car

Just an idea, could you do some of the other obscured British made vehicles? like the export only Vickers MBT, or the joint production GKN Simba APC that had tons of action against ISIS in south east Asia lately?

Its on the short list here in Oz as a recon vehicle (!). They are cheaper to run that tracks, more 'deployable' but oh so big.

Could you talk about multinational training operations from the viewpoint of a normal soldier, how you prepare what happens in advance how the equipment gets to the training site, how you work together with foreign national how long it takes and how many people are involved?

We were going to be part of the Boxer programme. But pulled out at an early stage.

i think the VBCI has many chances of being the next british 8x8 IFV, or maybe the VBCI 2 but hey.... Your former colleagues in Estonia are really examining in detail our vbci's, adn they're loving it, as much as we do

I think this is somewhat old, Matsimus. I think the Boxer was alraedy discarded due to the fact that it is wheeled and the MoD is looking for a tracked IFV to support the Challenger 2 MBTs.

Btw the UK MoD hasn’t put out any indication that it’s interested in the German made Boxer vehicle. The UK MoD has put out 3 yearly policy papers that advocate the procurement of both 6x6 & 8x8 IFV and Scout vehicles from GDLS Europe, which would share up to 70% component commonality with the AKAX vehicles and be manufactured along side AJAX in existing facilities.

Can you do a video on the Canadian LAV III?

This is the Thunderbird 2 of the APC world. Quick change modules for specific missions. Something that can be invested in.

You need to do a video of the new Warrior WESP

Do a video on the Stryker Dragoon New upgrade for Stryker brigade combat teams

What camo were they using? It looks like some kind of flecktarn. Whatever it is it looks beautiful and is great for fighting in places like estonia and ukraine which is unfortuantly given the current war in eastern ukraine which we are quite likely to get involved in.

You mentioned the CT40 was caseless, it is actually telescopic casings, and unfortunately it's bloody useless. The first batch the were planning on sending to Bovi for testing had to be recalled by Lockheed because the electronics were outdated.

Are those guys carrying G36's and M4's? What's with that? I would also like to know more about the 40mm caseless.

Just looked it up at the kmw website. The deal is that 100% of the final build steps are made in the UK and 60% of the whole worth should be produced in the UK means around 1000 jobs. As Plus for an early partipant in the development Artec would be allowed to export the vehicle under britisch rights.
