Heavy weapon carrier infantry: Purchased!

The Commonwealth of Australia has awarded Rheinmetall the contract for the production of 123 Infantry Fighting Vehicles, with over 100 to be manufactured in Australia for the German Army and exported to Germany. This is Australia's largest military export to the Federal Republic of Germany.

The procurement of the Infantry Fighting Vehicle is based on a government agreement between the German side and Australia. Rheinmetall had reported the contract with the German procurement authority, which has a total volume of 2.7 billion Euros including maintenance and repair, after being awarded in March 2024. Now the corresponding production order has been awarded in Australia.

The "Infantry Fighting Vehicle" is based on the Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle (CRV) of the Australian Army. The Boxer is a modern, armored 8x8 vehicle that is in service with armies around the world. It provides enhanced protection for the crew and combines a high level of firepower and mobility for international missions, especially in peacekeeping operations, up to high-intensity combat. The CRV is equipped with a reconnaissance module that includes the digital two-person Lance turret; the first manned medium-caliber turret to be deployed on the Boxer platform.
