Boxer armoured fighting vehicle
The Boxer is a family of armoured fighting vehicles designed by an international consortium to accomplish a number of operations through the use of installable mission modules.
The Boxer is a highly mobile, armoured wheeled vehicle whose modular design allows for a wide range of mission-specific variants. The vehicle family consists of a standardized drive module and interchangeable, user-specific mission modules. In addition to the original variants such as the group transporter, the medical vehicle, the engineer group vehicle, and the command vehicle, many new variants have already been developed, e.g., for air defense. Currently, around 2,000 vehicles are under contract worldwide – and the trend is rising.
Unique modularity
Mission modules can be exchanged quickly. There are over 30 capabilities available, ranging from operational and command support to wheeled armoured personnel carriers.
In service worldwide
Over 2,000 vehicles successfully service in seven countries.
Quality from Germany for Germany
On average, up to 80% of the added value is generated in Germany.
Outstanding protection concept
State-of-the-art armour and active protection technologies ensure maximum crew safety.
Superior mobility
Outstanding off-road capabilities in all weather conditions thanks to proven 8x8 all-wheel drive.
German Armed Forces procured a new heavy weapon carrier (sWaTrg Inf) with a manned Lance2 turret, a powerful 30 mm machine gun and Mells anti-tank guided missiles for the German infantry.
Leopard 2L
Armoured vehicle-launched bridge developed by KMW and Patria for the Finnish Army. Ten Finnish 2A4 tanks were re-built to carry the LEGUAN bridge.
Bridge-laying equipment system by Patria. The Leopard 2L bridge tanks have ability to handle Leguan bridges of different lengths. Bridge-laying systems are built on the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank platforms. Simultaneously, bridge-laying ability of different length bridges are be provided for the earlier purchased six Leopard 2L bridge tanks and nine SISU E15TP-L bridge vehicles.
Patria carried out a bridge system project in 2004 – 2008 and delivered six bridge-laying tanks and nine bridge-laying vehicles. This authorisation will increase the amount of those tanks and update the current equipment.
2018:
Puolustusvoimat hankkii neljä uutta Leopard 2L - siltapanssarivaunua, jotka voivat käsitellä eri mittaisia Leguan-siltoja. Siltapanssarivaunut rakennetaan aikaisemmin hankittujen Leopard 2A4 -panssarivaunujen alustoille. Samalla hankitaan myös eri mittaisten siltojen käsittelykyky aiemmin vuosina 2004 - 2008 hankittuihin kuuteen Leopard 2L - siltapanssarivaunuun ja yhdeksään SISU E15TP-L -silta-autoon.
Mighty Arrow 25
The Armoured Brigade will lead the Army mechanized exercise Mighty Arrow 25 at the Pohjankangas Firing Range and Training Area in Niinisalo from 24 April to 13 May. Approximately 2800 persons will take part in the exercise, most of them conscripts and about 700 international troops.
Service personnel and conscripts from the Armoured Brigade, Karelia Brigade, Utti Jaeger Regiment, Jaeger Brigade, Pori Brigade, Army Academy, the Finnish Defence Forces C5 Agency, Centre for Military Medicine and the 2nd Logistics Regiment will participate in the exercise. The exercise will involve Army flight operations. Allied troops from the United Kingdom, Germany, Lithuania, and Estonia will also take part in the exercise. The share of international troops of the total strength of the exercise will be about 700 persons and some 200 vehicles.

![Gotland Class Submarine Running On Surface [4K UHD]
[4K UHD] The Gotland-class submarines of the Swedish Navy are modern diesel-electric submarines, which were designed and built by the Kockums shipyard in Sweden. They are the first submarines in the world to feature a Stirling engine air-independent propulsion (AIP) system, which extends their underwater endurance from a few days to weeks. This capability had previously only been available with nuclear-powered submarines.
Saab’s submarines are based on generations of evolutionary design. Building on more than 100 years’ experience, 7 submarine classes have been delivered across 3 continents.

![Steam Locomotive Cockpit - Tk3 1136 Pikku-Jumbo Traveling With Crew Working
Historical VR Class Tk3 steam locomotive with classic passenger carriages. Traveling from Nokia to Tampere, Finland, easter 2024.
The train is operated by Haapamäen Museoveturiyhdistys ry, Finnish museum train association. More information at https://www.hmvy.fi/.
The Finnish VR Class Tk3 (original classification K5) was a 2-8-0 light freight locomotive. It was the most numerous steam locomotive class in Finland with 161 built. 100 locomotives were constructed between 1927 and 1930, with a further 61 ordered and constructed 1943–53. They were numbered 800–899, 1100–1118, and 1129–1170.

They were designed for a low axle load of just 10.7 tonnes (10.5 long tons; 11.8 short tons). This allowed them to operate on lightly laid secondary lines, but during their many years of service, up to the end of the steam era, they were also widely used on main lines hauling slow passenger trains that made frequent stops.
They were affectionately called Pikku-Jumbo (The Little Jumbo) because of their good performance despite their low weight. They had a low fuel consumption (usually Tk3s used birch wood) and good riding characteristics. They also had good steaming characteristics and were very popular among locomotive crews.
The livery of Tk3 was the same as other VR steam locomotives: dark locomotive green with a black smokebox. When new some locos were lined with thin gold decoration. The gold decorations were not repainted during maintenance, so they were seldom seen.
Two Tk3-type engines were originally supplied by Tampella to Rauma Rautatie as Nos. 9 and 10 (ex-No. 8) in 1935 and 1927 respectively. These engines became Tk3 1117 and 1118 after the private railway was absorbed by the State network in 1950.[1]
