Rheinmetall's Genius Idea! New Boxer Vehicle Armed with 4 IRIS-T missiles and a 40mm cannon

Boxer is the best wheeled system there is. You have the chassis and simply replace the combat module. Ingenious.

Most of those who has commented seem to have missed that it has a 40mm autocannon in addition to the missiles.

very expensive, so only useable against high value targets, not thousands of drones...

Taaardee..rusia ya lo hizo con el blindado Terminator..

Looks like Russian "Terminator" urban warfare tanks, just well done.

rocking the screen back and forth is making me seasick , im out

I like the AA package

Rockets for 200$ drones? Stupid!

Why is there no canon's muzzle cooling and why is it short (30 caliber)?
And it seems that it is not capable of shooting directly forward!?

the most important thing is how much will that system cost and how much does the rocket cost?!

it's worth no more than a stinger on a humv without a proper radar & it can't defeat have things the claim

German reinvented LAV-AD ?)))) i mean mobile AA is great idea.

the boxer is the best wheeled platform out there. its modulatiry makes it the jack of all trades......

incredible stupid system... the launcher should carry at least 8-12 missiles pr. vehicle to even be considered. And... if they had mounted a 30mm cannon on it + 4/8 IRIS T missiles, it would have been a way more interesting vehicle - that could be able to kill drones, light vehicles and provide airdefense

One more thing would also be to enable quick manual reloading of missiles

The Boxer system is one of the most versatile systems of the medium armor category out there.

4 missiles will do wonders against the thousands of drones that are attacking in swarms in the future. Well spent money as usual.

What a genius idea, they did the same thing as everyone else has been doing for the last 30 years.

Well, against drones, IRIS-T is an overkill. They cost way more than even Javelin launch. IRIS-T missile is about 380 thousand Euros a pop. Unless of course the target they protect is of the highest importance and drone is suspected to carry a serious payload. But still, this expensive system doesn't replace Gepards, which are extremely cheap to fire in comparison. And with new programmable munitions and new optics and faster and more accurate computer aimbots, they are starting to be both very battlefield-effective and cost effective anti-air defense solutions.

Blud copied the Terminator, I mean Leopards are even getting ERA 😂

Seems like a direct upgrade of the old idea with the LAV-D 25mm + AA rocket outfit.

SDKFZ 234Z..?!!

The gepards are hard to beat these boxer have their work cut out for them to be as spiffy as the gepard

Yawn….

Screw acronyms in the AH with a BRD. They’re lame, whatever happened to making up cool names for things?

Panzir imitate

Perfect 😀.

Bu cihazların çok daha iyisi Türkiyede var. Hem araç, hem sistem hemde füze olarak. Fnss Pars araçları, bmc ve otokar ında çok gelişmiş araçları var. Aselsanın füzelerde son nesil ıır algılayıcıları, son nesil aesa radarları. Roketsanın ve tübitak sagenin çok kabiliyetli füzeleri ve bunlarda kullanılan Çok ileri seviye katı roket yakıtları var.

Boxer taktik seviyede yetersiz bir araç. Bu yüzden satılmıyor.

Yay sounds like a good start!
Might need more than 4 missiles though.
Take care M.

Airbags - Safety at Work. This system is after my opinion not good against small and medi drones, to expensive. We need a good, cheap working system against these kind of drones. Gepard is not avaible any more, and i dont know how good the mantis on a boxer works, activ detection?

Wow,was für eine Entdeckung bei Rheinmetall 😮😮😮😮 Gibt es nicht schon in anderen Ländern seid längerem 😂😂😂😂😂

What's new or genius here, again?

Rheinmetall really impressed over the last years

will not help against swarms of drones

Yep, it's called a Pantsir been around for quite awhile now .

German should develop an updated and upgraded version of the Flakpanzer Gepard AA gun which proves effective against drones in Ukraine. Gun is preferred to missile against cheap drones. Withdrawing the Gepard from service is arguably not a wise decision. Why the German keeps upgrading the Leopard MBT for dozens of years but neglecting the Gepard?

Well, very nice, if you are dealing with enemy aircraft and/or helis. But overloading / spamming a defense perimeter equipped with these systems (by using cheap drones) will very fast disable it's capapilities.

Russian Pantsir's copy.

Turned out to be an ad for Rhiemetall boxer

Look like an SAAB Giraffe 4A radar! Is it?

A compact Gatling cannon, radar guided for those swarm attacks of cheap commercial drones like we’ve seen been used in Ukraine or similar platform to counter whatever that lineage develops into I think should be a priority

An automated laser system to blind attacking drones would be a great idea, chances are future attacks will be multiple cheap drones with an explosive round instead of expensive manned aircraft

können die auch 1 km weit fliegen ? .

Well.....tssss
The war in Ukraine shows that missiles are ineffective against a swarm of drones!
Too many drones get through the defenses.
And rockets are much more expensive than any small drone.
The relationship between effort/costs and result is not correct!

Various mobile anti-aircraft gun tanks such as the concepts from Rheinmetall would be popular.
This refers to systems such as MANTIS, Skyranger, Skyshield, etc...

Google it !

If the Philippines buy advance weapons feature

Would help if commentary matched the video. Your talking about one thing snd showing something else.

The Grenade launcher is probably the TSWA developed for the Puma with a rate of fire of 3 RPM. It can fire 20 different types of ammunition including programmable air burst. Obviously will allow the vehicle to defend itself against infantry with RPG and even lower range ATGM. I suspect that given the radar and optoelectronic sensors the air burst round might be able to engage micro drones and Lancets defensively. The Sky-ranger with its 30mm gun is likely to be better at this.

One would expect a gun on an air defense platform considering the proliferation of drones in modern warfare.
