▶️ As scheduled, Rheinmetall delivered the *first Boxer Skyranger 30 cannon-based air defence vehicle* to the Bundeswehr at the end of January 2025. ▶️ This system is the so-called *verification model*, which will be used for the Bundeswehr's required approval. ▶️ After the user has been instructed in how to operate the vehicle, the *admission trial* will begin in spring 2025. *Serial delivery* will mainly take place in 2027 and early 2028. ▶️ The Skyranger 30 air defence system *closes the current critical capability gap in mobile air defence*. The system offers an optimal combination of mobility, protection, flexibility and precision to meet the growing requirements of challenging threat scenarios at nearer and very close ranges. ▶️ Skyranger 30 is part of the *European Sky Shield initiative*. Additional NATO and EU member states want to join the procurement or have already initiated it.
