So the UK chooses Boxer for MIV (again)

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

I wonder how much of that had to do with Australia having chosen the BOXER for their LAND 400 Program. There was some industry speculation that given the degrees of terrain etc. that the APC's from the start faced some of the hardest endurance tests to date for those manufacturers. It really says something about the down selected final two candidates and specifically for the BOXER in general. The UK definitely could've done worse, that being said, they could change their mind again as well. They are after all facing some tough competition as the first ref. indicates. Watch for the TERRIX 8x8.

Just read Andy's post it sure would seem like the BOXER has the inside track. I had forgotten that the UK helped develop it. After reading it though, I remembered posting several articles on the topic in regards to the beginning of the FRES Program, how long ago has that been now!?! A sign you're getting older, THE CLOCK'S MOVING FASTER!!

Well I guess it now official, UK has apparently signed the contract with ARTEC. The BOXER is in. I don't know if this new camouflage scheme will be effective though in the field however!?!
