The latest Boxer vehicle variant, equipped with Brimstone precision-guided missiles, has been unveiled.
The British Army is set to buy 623 Boxers and the new Overwatch variant is fitted with eight of the missiles - able to hit enemy armour up to 12 miles away.
It was unveiled at the Defence Vehicle Dynamics show in Bedfordshire.
Brimstone missiles have previously been used extensively by the RAF against the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Also on display at the Defence Vehicle Dynamics show was a new mortar module for the Boxer, which is capable of firing both 120 and 81mm rounds.
