Boxer IFV + Skyranger 30: Germany Bundeswehr's New Mobile Air Defense System Explained

Germany is boosting its air defences by purchasing 19 Skyranger 30 mobile gun systems mounted on Boxer IFVs. This €650 million acquisition is intended to close a capacity gap and improve protection for its "middle forces." The Skyranger 30 has a 30mm gun, superior sensors, and the capability to integrate missiles such as Stinger or Mistral. It is part of a wider German effort, the NNbS, to create a multilayered air defence system for short and medium-range threats. This transaction also shows the Boxer platform's adaptability, which can be customised for different tasks by switching modules. The Skyranger 30 marks a significant advance in German air defence capabilities and contributes to a larger European effort to modernise its defences.
