For those of you who love digging up info I have a project for you.

Do ALL the German Boxers with the RCT30 turret come equipped with the Mell's ( Spike LR ) ATGM or just some vehicles. I have not been able to find the answer to that question

That's the big box hanging off the left side of the turret

071, 078, 098 Eitan IFV/APC - according to Polish monographic article from 11/2024 and Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eitan_AFV, APC were given to the first unit in 5/23 only (now 10/22), while IFV isn't in service yet.

I'm not an expert on German army, but an article in Polish nTW 7/2022 about a modernization of German Army implies, that Boxers with Lance turrets with 30 mm cannon AND MELLS are going to replace Wiesels. There's no guarantee if all got them, but I would stick with such version as for now.

Also Marders were going to be modernized with MELLS.
