Brief history of the GTK Boxer

The GTK Boxer (German: Gepanzertes Transport-Kraftfahrzeug Boxer) is a modern, multi-role armored personnel carrier developed jointly by Germany and the Netherlands. The GTFZ A1 variant mainly serves as an infantry fighting vehicle—for fire support and for transporting soldiers on the battlefield. The vehicle took part in international missions, including NATO operations in Afghanistan and during exercises of Alliance member states. Production began in the late 1990s, and active use started in 2009—the Boxer remains in service to this day.
