🇩🇪 The German army has started testing a parachute system to allow for the Wiesel 1 to be airdropped.

I thought the Wiesel is about to be retired?

It's being replaced by the Boxer weapons carrier in the medium division, but it will stay in service with the light division.

@gepardtatze This thing should be made remote controlled.

i don't get it, it was always made to be airdropped

So an airdrop system is developed for Wiesel 1 and then they are retired from service? 🤔

Meanwhile BMD-2 some years ago...

I love German engineering so much it's unreal.

Nuclear Option ahhh air drop

Still not sure what to think of the Wiesel. But I agree that it's cute 🥰 For an IFV anyway.

why

Welcome back, AeroGavin!

Для чого ? Де вони збираються використовувати такий сценарій ?

Hope they put a UGV version in service.
