According to the information provided to Defence24.com by the spokesperson of the German Ministry of Defence, training exercises involving the Bundeswehr’s units, with the use of the Puma IFV’s, are going to be started, according to the current plans in April this year. Test programme for the vehicles is planned to happen before that.
The Germans are going to introduce new Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicles in order to replace the Marder IFV’s which are becoming obsolete. The latter vehicles are being used inter alia by the unit that is a part of the NATO quick reaction forces. 350 vehicles are to be delivered, however, before the last Bundeswehr’s reform, procurement of more than 400 examples had been planned.
