I total see your point but i just doubt it just because it would cause another controversy on their side. I guess they could just put it in as a balance thing and so on.
But as uniqueness goes, Germany has a bunch of really odd prototypes for the higher BRs.
Some guy in a Discord server I’m in has been posting lots of content from Jane’s lately, mostly American, French, and Swiss stuff but a few from Germany did catch my eye.

I think it’s just a standard Milan. Looks too old to be PARS 3 MR.
Here you can see it mounted to an M113

I like more and more the fact that Switzerland is an official sub-nation of Germany, since they have several projects that can fill several gaps or are even better than their German counterparts. In this case, I especially like the tank destroyers with ATGM (they even have their own ADATs) and the Leopard 2-140, which has advanced much more than its German counterpart (the day they add this monster, I will surely buy a Talisman for it).
edit1: Are the Fuchs 8x8 with ATGM German projects or are they from another country?

The problem with Switzerland as a full sub-nation for Germany is that they don’t offer much that Germany doesn’t already have. As far as advanced ATGM carriers go for Germany, there is already:
the Fuchs PARS 3 MR
and Wiesel 1A2 MELLS
Which is way better than anything Switzerland can offer.
They also don’t offer much in the way of CAS aircraft which is what Germany really needs at the moment.
Yes, all Fuchs projects are German.

Sweden actually did this. We had a few Piranha IIIC 10x10, which were designated Pansarterrängbil 97. One was fitted with the turret of the 9040B, which is the one in the image you posted. Here is another image of it as well
It was only a prototype, there were a bunch of versions that got presented all around the world with no one really buying them. I only found this one as labeled Swiss.
The 8x8 looks like a miniature, the only known prototype is the one that had the 25mm gun on it definitely. It lacks the rear hatch:

Hmm true. Its in a weird little room.

The only hope for that is Poland really currently or they go with Argentina (would be pretty nice if they added more vehicles).
They could also add the Enforcer as probably the lowest F&F ground to ground missile in the game.
Any idea of SPAA Germany is getting for next update? :(
I mean, apparently the IRIS-T SLM on the MAN truck is going to be the one of the first multi-vehicle SPAA along with the japanese Type81 with ARH Missiles (also using another vehicle as radar unit).
So if true we’re gonna be eating good, but i kind of expect gaijin to give a new classification to these types of vehicles, 40km death zone is kind of insane if you think about it, you can kill a su34 before it even renders you.
70SP spawn for one of those would be wayyy too cheap.
Also i think this update or next one gaijin will ungimp the Brimstones, because there’s gonna be no way to CAS against Spider AIO/Type81/SLM/chinese one with just laser guided weapons, that have 12 km of range btw.

Probably we also face the issue that jets for 700-850 spawn points are simply not worth to be spawned vs. these new SPAAs. Its like spawning a Tornado just with GBU vs. Pantsir. I completly stopped using this strike jet in GRB. Might well be that almost all jets become unplayable.
Boxer with the Turra 30 turret at IDET 2025 Brno.
It should have Spikes and AB ammunition if they have given it all the features they take about on their website. Pretty cool especially since the Vilkas is really good.

Even though I would much prefer the Swiss get an independent tree, I was cautiously optimistic that they could come in any capacity.
Now that I see Gaijin is skipping yet another subtree they had planned (Thai ground) in pursuit of more copy paste, I have pretty much no hopes that the Swiss will be anything more than lame gap filler.
