First of two BOXER IFV prototype vehicles for Lithuania
In April 2018 Lithuania received the first of two BOXER IFV prototype vehicles to conduct intense tests at German military training areas.
The vehicles were produced according to the requirements of the Lithuanian Armed Forces and the intention of the tests is to determine whether the two prototypes constructed on Lithuania’s order match the list of requirements. Reliability, safety, malfunction free operation of components and modules are key priority and are monitored closely. The key task of the testing is to remove any technical deficiencies before mass manufacturing begins.
Specialists from the Lithuanian Armed Forces are participating in the testing as well to gain experience in maintaining and operating the IFVs.
