A contract worth £2.8 billion was signed earlier this month to provide the British Army with more than 500 new armoured fighting vehicles. The Boxer is an 8x8 wheeled armoured transport vehicle, designed to move troops on to the frontline. We were given the chance to look at the Boxer up close 👀.

The modular concept can be seen from two perspectives: The advantage is not only that any Boxer can now be quickly converted for a specific mission, but also that a roadworthy Boxer will always be available for a specific mission. The engine, the drive train and the chassis simply need to be maintained more frequently than a mission module.

As Europe, we should stand together and pool resources. Doing everything yourself is outdated thinking. The alliance has to have the capabilities and the interoperability it needs to be effective. If everyone does their own thing we grow weaker every day. That being said, I think since UK is already in Europe (and probably will stay here for a while), and in NATO, it should also be part of the EU.

For example during covid when France blocked essential PPE and then vaccines which where owned by and destined for Britain at the boarder to keep for themselves. So it's important you can support your own backbone which can then be supplemented by your allies. It also creates much needed jobs, and income for the country.

Because live "excecises" like Iran-Irak War, Invasion of Kuwait etc showed how bad british AFV design was and that scared any potential customer away, wich would go to the german KMW/Rheinmetall Leo1 and Leo2, modernised US M60A3´s and french AMX30B´s or russian T-72´s.

well, considering all british projects for an IFV and APC have failed so far..... it does everything better than the british competitors, especcially availability. Ajax is close to scrapping due to major problems with the programm, that seem to be hard to fix. The FRES (Future Rapid Effect System) of the UK dissolved due to major problems and cost explosions plus major intransparencies. like having 3 competitor vehicle designs, of wich 2 had test vehicles delivered and the third is represented via a predecessor vehicle, because the test vehicle was not out of pre prototype design, the not presend vehicle gets chosen as winner during cpability testing etc.

The problem with "Modularized" vehicles is nobody ever actually changes the module once it's placed. You don't have a deep pool of spare modules lying around like the Thunderbird 2 hanger. So in almost every case the only time you ever need to be able to swap the module is in the factory. Modularity is a feature that looks good on the spec sheet. But if the mission calls for an ambulance, they just bring an ambulance. They've also tried the Modular concept with aircraft a lot over the years. Same thing. They configure the plane or helicopter once and only once to establish it's desired mission, and never change it again.

Jack Mountain Well yes. Lots of vehicle use the same chassis and share parts. That’s actually a good design feature. It’s the swappable mission payload element that is over engineering a feature that will likely never get used. And certainly never get used in the field. It’s the sort of thing that sounds sexy on the spec sheets. But it means you’ve got a couple of bolts holding the infantry compartment on, instead of just welding that sucker down for added protection. It’s pointless modularity because the only time anyone will be swapping mission modules will be down at the motor pool when they are seeking to canibalize and MacGuyver three broken down vehicles into one working one. Which they are perfectly capable of doing with non modular vehicles.

smacks of thunderbirds pods interchangeable ability,back to wheeled drive ,a throwback to the saracen , which was light years ahead of its time,good to see the british army getting the correct equipment for a change ,too many people have had input to ideas ,and what ends up being a camel, isnt what the customer wanted ,they wanted a horse(old saying is a camel is a horse designed by a committee)

Anyone know what crew we are looking at? Looks like 6 dismounts and maybe 3 vehicle crew (Commander, Driver and a gunner?). How does that square with an 8 man section/ 28 man platoon? Anyone got any gen?

@@KA5Hx thanks but when you look in the back you only see 6 seats behind the crew cab. 3 each side. Also what's the plt lay down going to be ? My best guess is: 3x 8 man section. 4x3 man crew. ( including 1x Boxer sgt and a Lance Jack to step up when PC dismounts) Plt commander, Plt Sgt and Plt RO. Ie 1 plus 38. That's a big plt!

This is a state of the art platform has everything that the armed forces need. Built for all factors of war. Lethality and manoverability hopefully biological and chemical capabilities. Would be great if missles could be put on this platform. On few boxer's Lazer to take down drone's I know it's money orientated nontheless make boxer as lethal as you can.

not sure how practical modular design is. It's not going to come with multiple modules and you're not going to take modules without the rest of the vehicle so what's the point? The only advantage would be if the vehicle is damaged. You would then take off the module and put it onto a working vehicle. If this is the case then it would suggest that these are only going to be made available in very limited numbers for each operation.

@@regregan5755 considering that Boxer is protected vs 14.5mm fire all round, 30mm fire from the front plus mine and artillery blast resistant on STANAG IV level, it has to be big. and it is not that immobile or inflexible as it seems. 15m turning circle are private SUV levels of agility and extremly good. a smaller car has around 11m. Yes it is not going to be a SMART or MINI, but it is significantly more agile than most MRAP´s on the market with higher levels of protection. And considering that i live in a city with barracks, where Boxer´s are stationed and regularly move from there to the next traininggrounds on public roads.... they really dont have problems with normal city roads or normal european towns. yes it may be too big for the roads of the historic core of some cities/Towns, but that is also a problem for more or less any AFV on the market. look at REFORGER footage. rural german towns have been demolished regularly by comparably small M113 etc. Fences, property walls, signs etc have been destroyed by that on a regular basis. but luckily, german rural historic town centers are not the regular combat zone we design our vehicles around. In afghanistan the Bundeswehr used Boxer and had no problems maneuvering through afghan towns

I imagine that the army will buy an equal number of drive an mission modules. The issue is that if a valuable variant like a C&C or ambulance breaks down or is due for service you can swap the mission module onto a working drive train in an hour or two and get the needed variant back into service.
