The Boxer is too heavy.It is easy to see why Germany would make it so heavy as they don't really do expeditionary warfighting, they don't have to worry about putting it on a tactical airlift or amphibious assault ship - they only have to put it on the Autobahn or trains to send east to confront Russia.Countries that do have to consider this sort of deployment like France and Canada have produced lighter 8x8 LAVs.Foreign buyers of the Boxer don't really seem to be considering this and appear to be more panic buying, I've already heard Australians say it sinks in deployments in Far North Queensland (a problem the ASLAV had in East Timor too).This will probably be followed buyers remorse, for some like Britain they really cannot afford that.
Yeah
A400M literally had airlifting Boxer as part of its design spec.It's not a problem
>>64241270It cant fit. You have to dismantle it.To transport two Boxers you need three A400M, one for each Boxer and the third carries the mission modules.
>>64241287Prove it
>>64241306>The Boxer can be transported in the Airbus A400M tactical airlifter, albeit not in one piece. With a capacity of around 32-tonnes, the loading ramp of an A400M cannot accommodate a complete Boxer so the drive and mission modules need to be separated for transport. Two Boxers can be transported by three A400Ms, two for the drive modules and a third for the mission modules.[97]
>>64241256What is "The Boxer"?
>>64241256>This will probably be followed buyers remorse, for some like Britain they really cannot afford that.Deployment is scaled back to Epping
Fuck off warriortard
>>64241256>they only have to put it on the Autobahn or trains to send east to confront Russia.Trains. Some recent study pointed out that their maintenance requirements preclude them from driving across Poland in order to meet a Russian invasion.
>>64241287Just wait untill you hear what they had to do to get the Puma in there
>>64243981Finally kill yourself, armatard. Every fucking thread bro, don't you grow bored of it at some point?
>>64243966An IFV chassis that can be used for any medium sized wheeled system.IMO it's the way of the future and there should be a NATO standard chassis that has licenced produced in any member state that want to build them. The only catch is you would need to agree on 2 different sizes, a light version for air transport and a heavy version for those that don't care about air and want a heavier vehicle.
>>64244221Air transport of armored vehicles is a meme. Air assaults have been proven suicidal since WWII. Most vehicles will be transported by rail or ship. If you can get a huge transport plane to safely fly and land near the paratroops drop zone, then it means the area is already safe and doesn't need air deployed armor.
