Team Boxer UK has reached a programme milestone with the delivery of the 100th Boxer Mechanised Infantry Vehicle (MIV) to the UK Ministry of Defence. Built in Britain for Britain, Boxer is providing the British Army with a highly protected, modular and adaptable vehicle that will form a key element of the Army’s future warfighting capability.
Reaching the 100-vehicle milestone marks a significant achievement for the programme, highlighting the successful establishment of two UK production facilities, the growth of a nationwide supply chain and the enduring partnership between government, industry and the Armed Forces. It is a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when international collaboration is combined with British industrial expertise.
The programme is delivered through collaboration between Rheinmetall, KNDS, the British Army, the National Armaments Director Group (NAD Group), Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), OCCAR and the ARTEC consortium, alongside a network of UK supply chain partners. Together, they are delivering a critical capability for the Army’s future force while strengthening the UK’s sovereign industrial base.
Martyn Williams, Senior Responsible Owner for Boxer at the NAD Group, said: “The delivery of the 100th Boxer to the UK Ministry of Defence is a significant milestone and reflects the tremendous work done by OCCAR, ARTEC, KNDS, Rheinmetall, the NAD Group and wider MOD to establish two UK Boxer production lines and the broad supply chains across the UK. The international collaboration through OCCAR and ARTEC has seen technology transfer to the UK, building on the UK’s proud history of armoured vehicle manufacturing.”
Rebecca Richards, Managing Director of Rheinmetall UK, said: “Reaching the 100-vehicle milestone is a significant achievement for the teams delivering Boxer in the UK. It reflects the dedication and expertise of our workforce, suppliers and partners, whose contribution is helping to build long-term manufacturing capacity and strengthen sovereign industrial capability. Boxer is creating lasting skills and investment while delivering a world-class capability for the British Army and supporting prosperity across the UK.”
Tony Webb, Operations Director at KNDS UK, added: “The delivery of the 100th Boxer vehicle demonstrates the value of long-term investment in sovereign defence capability and the strength of the UK’s defence industrial base. Programmes such as Boxer sustain critical skills, support SMEs across a resilient national supply chain and drive investment in advanced manufacturing. This milestone reflects the power of collaboration between government, industry and international partners to generate lasting strategic advantage for the UK.”
Rheinmetall Landsysteme partners with GEK TERNA to boost Greece’s defence
Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH and GEK TERNA S.A. announce a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing Greece’s defence capabilities and reinforcing the country’s sovereign industrial base in the defence sector.
Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in the fourth quarter of 2025, Rheinmetall Landsysteme and GEK TERNA have now executed a long-term binding Strategic Framework Agreement that combines GEK TERNA’s leading position in critical infrastructure, energy and industrial investments across South-Eastern Europe with Rheinmetall’s world-class portfolio of land systems and defence technologies.
The partnership creates the foundation for substantial industrial cooperation in Greece, with significant local added value, sustainable capability development and long-term technological advancement. Through this agreement, the two companies will combine their complementary expertise to meet evolving operational requirements and deliver reliable, high-quality integrated defence solutions while supporting the long-term development of Greece’s defence industrial ecosystem.
The partnership is intended to provide the Hellenic Armed Forces with state-of-the-art capabilities based, inter alia, on new tactical land systems as well as lifecycle maintenance and upgrade of existing assets. A central objective of the cooperation is the systematic development of enduring industrial capabilities within the Hellenic Army’s own industrial facilities, complemented by the active participation of Greek small and medium-sized enterprises.
By progressively establishing domestic production, integration, maintenance and support capacities, the partnership seeks to strengthen Greece’s long-term operational self-reliance, institutional expertise and sovereign ability to sustain critical defence capabilities throughout their entire lifecycle.
