I wonder how much of that had to do with Australia having chosen the
BOXER for their
LAND 400 Program. There was some industry speculation that given the degrees of terrain etc. that the APC's from the start faced some of the hardest endurance tests to date for those manufacturers. It really says something about the down selected final two candidates and specifically for the
BOXER in general. The UK definitely could've done worse, that being said, they could change their mind again as well. They are after all facing some tough competition as the first ref. indicates. Watch for the
TERRIX 8x8.

Just read Andy's post it sure would seem like the
BOXER has the inside track. I had
forgotten that the UK helped develop it. After reading it though, I remembered posting several articles on the topic in regards to the beginning of the
FRES Program, how long ago has that been now!?! A sign you're getting older,
THE CLOCK'S MOVING FASTER!!
