The first British Boxer has arrived: the army has received a new combat vehicle assembled directly in the UK

 The British Army officially received the first Boxer armored vehicle, which was completely manufactured in the UK itself. Previously, these machines were assembled in Germany, but now production has been moved to the Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) plant in Telford — and this is a major breakthrough. Why? Because this is not just a new technique, but part of one of the largest modernization programs of the army in recent years.  

Now the Boxer is already in Bovington, where the crews are being trained. Now it will be used as a training platform: soldiers will learn how to operate, maintain and understand how this powerful eight-wheeled vehicle works. And, by the way, it is 8x8 — that is, all eight wheels are driving, which gives excellent cross-country ability on any off-road.  

Boxer is not just an armored personnel carrier. It is modular: today it is infantry, tomorrow it is a command post or medical evacuation. The main thing is that it will become the basis of a new, more mobile and secure army. So it's not just the supply of equipment. This is the beginning of a new era for the British ground forces.
