Germany’s New Armed Vehicles to Be Made in Australia

Members from 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) took part in Exercise Damascus 23 in March at Wide Bay Training Area. A Squadron, assisted by elements of Support Squadron, conducted live fire and tactical operations in the Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle (CRV) as they continue their training progression ahead of Talisman Sabre 23. The exercise also enhanced soldiers’ abilities in the Boxer CRV, as they continued to test its capability following its introduction to use in 2021. CPL Nicole Dorrett, Australian Defence Forces

Germany will purchase over 100 new armed vehicles from Australia under a new billion-dollar defence export deal.

The deal will see Queensland-made armoured vehicles, known locally as the Boxer Heavy Weapon Carriers, sold to Germany in one of the biggest defence export deals Australia has completed to date.
