Nope

O mission module do Boxer é mesmo top

E se não estou em erro os mission modules serão todos compatíveis com a versão lagartas

Desconhecendo preços e valencias, parece-me um excelente conceito.

Rheinmetall and Elbit Systems conduct live-fire demonstration of automated 155mm L52 wheeled self-propelled howitzer

Rheinmetall and Elbit Systems have successfully conducted a live fire demonstration of an automated 155mm L52 wheeled self-propelled howitzer.  The demonstration of the new system took place in early March 2023 at the Shivta firing range in southern Israel. It was attended by high-ranking officials of the armed forces of the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Hungary.

Rheinmetall and Elbit Systems signed a cooperation agreement last year to develop, manufacture and market an automated European 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer system.

Led by Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH, the “Rheinmetall Elbit” team will compete for Germany’s “Future System, Indirect Fire, Medium-Range (ZukSysIndF)” programme, which will modernize and broaden the Bundeswehr’s artillery capabilities. The UK’s “Mobile Fires Platform” programme also remains a focus and additional potential customers, such as Hungary, have expressed interest. 

The cooperation between Rheinmetall and Elbit builds on the fully automated wheeled self-propelled howitzer procurement programmes that Elbit has signed with Israel and additional customers.  As a result, a technically mature system is already available, enabling the integration of a Rheinmetall gun into the unmanned, fully robotic artillery turret of the Elbit system. The integration is currently in an advanced phase of the verification process. This will help reduce development risks and enable faster realization of operational readiness. 

Intensive bilateral technology transfer is currently underway, increasing the availability of domestic know-how and components. Rheinmetall is currently carrying out modifications to customize the system to European operational requirements and the German regulatory approval process. Furthermore, the Düsseldorf-based tech enterprise brings its tried-and-tested 155mm L52 gun; high mobility HX 10×10 tactical truck with a well-protected cabin; and electronic components for the fire control unit and sensor suite to the solution.

Israel plans first-ever sale of flagship Merkava tank to European country
(15 de Junho de 2023)

Israel is in talks to sell its Merkava tank to two countries, one of them in Europe, in what would be the first export of the flagship fighting vehicle, a Defense Ministry official said on Thursday.

Introduced after Israel's armored corps suffered heavy losses against Egypt and Syria in a 1973 war, and with a view to reducing reliance on foreign arms supplies, the Merkava - biblical Hebrew for "chariot" - is now in its fourth generation.
Israel exporting surplus systems it had not previously sold abroad

Yair Kulas, head of the Defense Ministry export coordination department SIBAT, said record demand for Israeli products was due in part to countries wanting to replenish their arsenals after providing Ukraine with weapons for its war with Russia.

As a result, he told Calcalist newspaper, Israel was exporting surplus systems it had not previously sold abroad, including earlier-generation Merkavas.

"There are two prospective countries with which we are in advanced negotiations (on a tank sale)," Kulas said. "I am barred from naming them, but one is on the European continent."

Israel has provided Ukraine with humanitarian and diplomatic assistance but not arms, mindful of the need to keep open channels with Moscow given Russia's clout in next-door Syria.

Israel Plans to Sell Its Merkava Tanks to Cyprus
(22 de Junho de 2023)

Israel and Cyprus have held talks regarding the sale of Merkava tanks, sources in both countries told Haaretz.

One of the options that was raised during the discussions is that Cyprus will purchase Merkava tanks from Israel and then send older Russian-made tanks to Ukraine. However, Cypriot sources have denied that this is their intent.

(...)

Last week, Yair Kulas, the head of the Defense Ministry's export coordination department, said in an interview with the economic daily Calcalist that Israel is in negotiations with two countries, including one in Europe, regarding the sale of older Merkava tanks that are no longer in use by the Israeli army.

If the deal goes through, this would be Israel's first sale of a Merkava tank to a European country. The Defense Ministry refused to name the country that Kulas was referring to.

After Kulas' interview, several websites and various accounts on social media claimed that said country is Cyprus. Last year, the Biden administration removed its arms embargo on Cyprus, enabling such a deal.

The Defense Ministry responded by saying that "Due to the war in Europe, several countries have shown interest in buying from Israel's reserves, including older Merkava tanks that were taken out of service years ago. The negotiations have yet to yield an agreement, and neither the Defense Ministry nor the interested countries have approved."

An official in Cyprus confirmed to Haaretz that negotiations have been taking place between the two countries, but refused to provide specifics about the deal itself or a timetable for completing it

Last month, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visited Cyprus. During a meeting with his Cypriot counterpart Michalis Giorgallas, said that "Cyprus and Israel have significant partnerships in munitions, through bilateral agreements between our governments. We appreciate Israel's defense industry as a trustworthy partner in our effort to upgrade our security and deterrence."

(...)

John Ioanou, a security analyst and founder of Geopolitical Cyprus, told Haaretz that he believes that the attempt to connect the Israeli-Cypriot negotiations to the war in Ukraine is based on "Russian disinformation on social media." He added that one of Cyprus' considerations in buying Israeli weapons is the probable difficulty in attaining spare parts for Russian tanks over the next few years, due both to the Russian military's operations in Ukraine and international sanctions against Moscow.

Remember last year when RID did that interview and it was revealed Italy was working on a new anti air missile to replace the stinger? Well here it is, shown to us for the first time. An anti air turret for the AICS is being developed, likely with this missile being part of it.
