ARTEC - Boxer 8X8 Infantry Fighting Vehicle Tender UK Documentary [1080p] 

Don’t forget Australia is acquiring 211 to 222 Boxers. Latest reports indicate that more may be ordered in the 2020’s

Boys we Made it. he’s so Perfect and Beautiful🤝

Welcome back! Good to have the UK in such a program.

I need this for the school run 😃😃

A MLRS type module for the Boxer CRV would be a good thing....

Love how Britain quit the boxer program left the Netherlands and Germany to work on the project alone and now they join back in when it’s basically finished and act like they were there all along atleast this documentary shows its actual history

I'm glad that we're back on board. The lethality of WCSP was tempting but this is the common sense decision.

There is a misquoted term from the US civil war that says you have to get there the firstest with the mostest. The mobility of 8x8 give it advantages in a number of roles with less logistical support from tracked vehicles. And getting your troops to the best tactical positions first means you do not need to attack them and you have time for troops to dig in. While the Boxers play a support role depending on the tactical situation. The world now has much better road systems to allow wheeled vehicles relatively mobility. Modern combat now consists much more of patrol work. This means you want to cover a lot of ground quickly. Modern 8x8 vehicles can quickly move troops from one location to another. This means you have a force multiplier. And 8x8 vehicles give ground forces an integral support vehicle for infantry. Unlike helicopters that may not be available when you need them and can not remain on the ground supporting the infantry. Yes, helicopters are good but they are limited in numbers, costly and are very vulnerable to enemy fire power or accidents. And there is still a need for tracked, well and well armored vehicles for some situations. And infantry will continue to need transport to get them to the battlefield. And with the development of active armor lighter vehicles will have greater protection from missiles. And 8x8s can be used in many roles apart from infantry transport. During the Vietnam war US forces needed to sustain logistics where tracked vehicles were not available or to costly. So 6x6 trucks were given armor and firepower to provide escorts for convoys transporting troops or cargo. Some 4x4 armored cars were used for this mission only on a smaller scale. So combat even in jungle type conflicts wheeled and armored vehicles have a useful role. In wars in South Africa they demonstrated how effectively wheeled armored vehicles can be and also how they can provide protection for mines. And now we have many non linear conflicts where we do not have a real front line. And we have large numbers of mines and IEDs. For Australia's defense the army needs to cover very large territories and Australia has very good road systems. So wheeled vehicles can be very effective. Wheeled vehicles can be useful in peacekeeping, unconventional conflicts and against terrorism or guerrilla warfare. In situations where wheeled vehicles are to vulnerable they can still be used in many support roles effectively. As part of a combined arms force which could include tracked vehicles. And as another example the US used half trucks very effectively during WW2 and they used mostly rubber tracks. And those tracks had very long lifespans and reliability. Modern 8x8 vehicles could use rubber track systems in areas where wheeled vehicle mobility is less effective. Modern rubber track systems could be fitted with rubber tracks on the rear wheels. This could be used in rough terrain, snow are amphibious operations where better of road capability is needed. So 8x8 vehicles remain very practical vehicles and will do for some time. And the Boxers modular system means it can take on many roles. Australia is also likely to adopt the Lynx tracked vehicle. Sharing some components and weapons with the Boxer. And also a very modular vehicle that will integrate future technologies. Will Britain use its new 40mm turret gun with telescopic ammo from the Ajax on to the Boxer. It may be to heavy and high for the Boxer with a high center of gravity. Or is there a remote 40mm CT gun available for the boxer. Or use the existing German unmanned turret with different ammunition.

i entered the competition to name it ,it was in the paper the comp was i put the name vantage cas of the advantages it has yessum .

I hope Hungary orders at least 300 of these to replace its aging Soviet built contraptions.

This fantastic vehicle will be built for the British Army at Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land in Hadley, Telford

That’s hot

then britan pulled out w t f ?

The US Army should choose this to replace the bradley and the stryker.

As allways germans are the best!

it will be very interesting to see if british-produced boxers will have the same reliability. (luckily, the engineers that developed the Chieftain are too old by now to participate!!!!)

When Britain buys more in one order than all other countries combined and plan to buy 1,500 of them...... 🇬🇧Britannia, fuck yeah!

How’s anyone supposed to have an edge if evryone has the same shit?

Chris yu talk too much eshol

Some weeks ago the government of UK ordered 900 units of the Boxer for 3.2 billion euro. Australia ordered about 400 for 2.1 billion. But both contracts say that the most of the vehicles will be built in UK and Australia. In Australia they are already building the factory.

Good to hear You’re back on Board ... 💪🏽

This is the equivalent of a soap advertisement from the manufacturers!

Big fan of UE, NATO. I'm from south america!

Awesome weapon

and Algeria get 500 boxer, from now to 2023

Oké, i want one. Dear Santa ..

France and UK left the program. NL picked up the slack. Hence all the Dutch footage and a sign of which way allies lean.

Much better than the one the USA Marines use. The one they call, "the widow maker".

modularity. . . revolutionary LOL !

It's a Tesla CYBERTRUCK! Now I know where the Cybertruck design came from.

Nek pitaju Ruse kako se to pravi.

I would much prefer a vehicle fully designed and built in the united kingdom of Great Britain. We need to expand our military industrial capacity in a post breit competitive world.
