Development of what would become the Boxer IFV began in 1993 as an international joint venture between France and Germany with the UK also joining the program in 1996. The aim of the project was the joint development of a common and modular AFV design, which could quickly be adapted to fit different mission requirements. In 1999, France abandoned the program and was replaced by the Netherlands in 2001 by which time production of the first prototypes had already begun. Following the start of production, the Boxer first entered service with the German army in 2009. In 2015, Lithuania also expressed interest in procuring the Boxer and placed orders for 89 vehicles. Receiving the name “Vilkas”, the Lithuanian variant also featured provisions for mounting the Israeli Samson Mk II remote-controlled turret, capable of mounting Spike missiles. The first Vilkas entered Lithuanian service in 2019 with further deliveries ongoing throughout the 2020s.
