Makes sense, as the new RCH 155 howitzer is mounted on a GTK Boxer chassis as well.

With the help of programmable munitions and a powerful set of sensors, the operator of the RCT30 module can intercept a drone in flight. This was successfully proven during tests in the spring of 2024.

Oh, that's interesting. So it can act as a SPAAG.

I was wondering why they had the gun elevated so far in the thumbnail, but that explains it, makes a lot of sense.

The GTK Boxer is a fantastic vehicle. You can mount everything on that platform: medivac, transport, AA, artillery and so on
