Concerning the
BOXERS they are still going through the contract process or finishing it, they will be built in
Australia as they are currently the only operators of them in the field finalizing their
OPEVAL and they'll be building them there for Germany.
It'll be a while before
Germany sees them but, they will with the extension of the game
I estimate will be available by 2027-mid to 2028 mid.
For us when they do get them, it'll be a
somewhat "easy" cut and paste from the Australian OOB to the German one.
This from my Australian Army source as I've posted already from concerning, their new
ABRAMS M1A2 Export tanks we built for the (Think
M1A2P/M1A2T.) game.
EDIT 270713 EST JAN 2025: For those that need it to supplement the "
BOXER" discussion above. They are currently having recently gone into
IOC status in
Australia.

(With "across the board" BOXER concerning updates for users like the UK along with CHALLENGER 3 both expected FOR SOME TIME IN 2030.)
"LAND 400 Phase 2 is scheduled to achieve
final operational capability in 2027, after which the Rheinmetall workforce will be used to support sustainment, progressive development, and upgrades to the Boxer CRV from its local facility."
