PUMA - Ultimate ifv presented

The first prototype of the new german IFV Puma was today presented in Kassel, Germany. The project is lead by PSM, a 50:50 joint venture of the two main german army hardware producers Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall Landsysteme. The current plans aim for 410 new vehicles for a total of 3 billion euro.
The Puma will be air movable with A400M due to it's optional protection levels (PL-A for air transport will give security against 30mm on the front, 14,5mm on the sides and mines, PL-C will add armour to the flanks and the top).

Whole news in german:

Well as always germany shows that after over 60 years it still produces the best armored vehicles.Wonder how much of these will be produced?And what are they going to replace?

they are replasing the Marder 1A3 and 1A5 seris of IFV witch have been used by the bundeswher since the 70's
anyone know if the puma can mount an atgm launcher. i think the airburst rounds are going to be a nightmare to any infantry that mess with this thing
