Boxer Variations_x000D_
The Boxer ambulance serves as the first link in the medical rescue chain, providing vital pre-hospital treatment for victims._x000D_
Depending on the type of injuries, it includes a variable mission module that can accommodate a large number of casualties and provide intensive care when necessary._x000D_
The ambulance version offers the same level of crew protection as the Boxer infantry variant, guaranteeing safety while on operational deployments._x000D_
The purpose of the driver training vehicle is to train and license individuals to drive the Boxer._x000D_
The car is only used for training purposes during peacetime. Because its overall weight and handling are so similar to those of other Boxer models, drivers don’t need to spend any extra time getting used to the operational versions.
