Thanks a lot. I also see that the PLA uses 4x4s or even lighter vehicles for recon. At least for non-heavy units. I think that is a good thing. European militaries invested too much in commonality to the point they do questionable things. Here is Boxer recon variant. There is no way this vehicle is avoiding combat.Here is the list based on what I found:
Army Air assault units:
Some reconaissance/sof units stationed in regions with heavy forests:
Marines:
Airborne:
Those boxers are over 3m in height, 35 tons weight, woefuelly unsuited for covert operations let alone airborne/mountain.Thanks a lot.
