but look at gajin doing a 180 and giving the boxer to israel because of the turret and it being their first IFV and spike carrier
Interesting
Wait, France started on the Boxer ?

The prototypes appeared the same year the UK left, the newer modules sure you can say things like the one with Rheinmetall weapons systems I concede that but the actual chassis still used British parts even after we left.

export yeah… internaly? we are way underfunded hell your typhoons, tornados are more modern. and we are missing a lot equipment
I just looked at some information about what I missed in the U.K. For example, in the 1990s, the F-117A or U.K. regularization of version, Bae System Replica, British Aerospace P.1233-1 Saba (helicopter hunter aircraft and attacker) ect…
jumped ship to develop the VBCI, france being france basicaly

Well, it’s a bit like the Yak-141, but this time it was actually fully completed, flew and isn’t for a nation that doesn’t actually need a prototype to fill top tier spots

Seems like it was pretty typical for france at the time. Start a program with other nations, realize that they had to make shared decisions and just going “nah we out”.

That is true and Britain did ultimately rejoin. The only Boxers in british service are APCs though, at least for now.

Wonder if the version of the J11 we get will be able to mount the Chinese missiles
they did post a boxer variant with javelin missles here earlier that the UK developed
Is that why the F-35 is selected all over europe over things like the Rafale and EF2000?
End of the day, we end with what is needed for our needs
I just wasn’t aware we started also on the Boxer. Cool to know.

to be fair the EF2000 primarily is an A2A fighter, and doesnt have the capability to carry atom bombs
Pretty sure won’t be this update. Only J-11B or later versions can mount Chinese missiles. Likely a J-11 or J-11A will be added in this update.
It should be, just the PL-10 and PL-15 seem to be limited to later models
