Germany deploys Boxer armoured vehicles in Afghanistan

August 16-31, 2011

Germany has airlifted five of its new Boxer multirole armoured vehicles to Afghanistan for what will be the vehicles’ first operational deployment. The five Boxers sent to the Afghan theatre are of the armoured personnel carrier variant and will be used by the Bundeswehr training and protection battalion operating in the area of Mazar-e-Sharif.

The Boxer is a binational vehicle project undertaken by Germany and the Netherlands. It is produced by ARTEC, a joint venture between Germany’s Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall Defence. Germany aims for the 8x8 Boxer to partially or fully replace the Fuchs 6x6 and M113 series of tracked vehicles currently in service.
