The Netherlands is upgrading its Boxer armored vehicles with a powerful 30mm cannon, significantly increasing their combat effectiveness.
Previously focused mainly on protection and transport, the Boxer now gains real offensive capability. The new weapon system can engage both ground targets and aerial threats, including drones.
With modern fire-control systems, the vehicle can track and engage fast-moving targets, making it highly effective in modern combat environments where drones play a major role.
This upgrade reflects a broader trend in Europe: adapting armored vehicles to handle both traditional threats and emerging drone warfare challenges.
