The federal government has commissioned Rheinmetall to deliver 20 more Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. Delivery of this new lot is scheduled for later this year. To date, Rheinmetall has already handed over a three-digit number of Marder infantry fighting vehicles to the Ukrainian armed forces through direct deliveries and ring exchange programs, the Düsseldorf-based company said. Laser range finders have also been integrated into the Marder version 1A3 that has now been commissioned, which enable efficient and precise target engagement.
Die überholten Schützenpanzer Marder 1A3 hatte Rheinmetall aus Beständen der Bundeswehr übernommen. Bereits im Frühjahr 2022 hatte das Unternehmen auf eigene Kosten damit begonnen, die Schützenpanzer für einen sofortigen Einsatz instandzusetzen. Die entsprechenden Arbeiten laufen seither an den Rheinmetall-Standorten Unterlüß und Kassel.
