Rheinmetall ARTEC Boxer

Right, I know there are a lot of vehicles like this out there so it's noting special but I want to call out the video for the awesome looking, if super-non-tactical, paint job on the demo car.

Every time a military force does a parade or public outreach deal there should be an AFV of some sort decked out in the national colors. Maybe even more than one.

Tangentially, it only carries four guys? That's a lot of money just to haul around a fire team. Not that they don't deserve protection but you'd need seven or eight vehicles to move a platoon and that seems like a lot. Of course that would make for a Hell of a laager.

Those things are modular.  They have a mission pack that comes off the chassis and can be swapped.

In APC mode it carries 8 pax plus a crew of (IIRC) 2 or 3.

Might work good for when those protestors try to block the highway.      Or quite a number of other things that are in the way.

They might be a (Cavalry) Scout team.

If the protestors are the violent thugs from ANTIFA, one of these might be a better choice:



Wonder how bullet/shell resistant the armor is on the Rheinmetall ARTEC vehicle . . .
