Marder – WalkAround

The Marder (German for “marten”) is a German infantry fighting vehicle operated by the German Army as the main weapon of the Panzergrenadiere (mechanized infantry) from the 1970s through the present day. Developed as part of the rebuilding of Germany’s armoured fighting vehicle industry, the Marder has proven to be a successful and solid infantry fighting vehicle design. While it does include a few unique features, such as the fully remote machine gun on the rear deck, it is overall a simple and conventional machine with rear exit hatch and side gun ports for mounted infantry to fire through. The Marder is currently being replaced by its successor, the Puma. The Marder 1A3 es la versión más común de este sistema, y está en servicio con el Bundeswehr alemán, el Marder 1A4 difiere del 1A3 sólo por el uso de un conjunto de radio compatible con criptografía. La versión más reciente del Marder es el Marder 1A5 con protección avanzada de la mina. Sólo un pequeño número de esta variante está en servicio.
