Rheinmetall says price audit could delay Bundestag approval of Boxer deal until early 2027

Rheinmetall expects Germany’s Bundestag to consider approval of the Arminius Boxer armored vehicle deal in the first quarter of 2027 as a detailed price audit is likely to push a decision beyond year-end. The company said on November 5, 2026, that it had already ordered components to protect the delivery schedule and expected deliveries at scale to begin in 2028. Rheinmetall said the main order’s scope had changed little, with recent revisions focused on options and additional packages. It expects a larger share of the deal than KNDS, with final pricing subject to the negotiations.
