They are going to build the Fuchs and the Luchs? The Luchs has ben decommissioned by the Bundeswehr and replaced by the Fennek and the Marder quite some time ago. It was, however, impressively silent. With all auxiliary aggregates turned off (but the main diesel idling), and rolling slowly on sand, it could literally tap you on the shoulder with its 20 mm autocannon before you would hear it. The Fuchs is just an armoured personnel carrier with no armament. Both are amphibious, which may become important.

No. It's an export IFV similar to the Puma... The US are likely to use a variant of it to replace their Bradleys in the future too.
