after winning 210 GTK Boxers to Australia and proposing to make a sale of 450 Lynx IFVs, Rheinmetall is proposing the Oerlikon Skyranger air defense complex mounted on a Boxer chassis. rumours say the sale is for 20 but could possibly be more.
the Skyranger can engage incoming mortars, drones and target low flying aircraft

While the Oerlikon Skyranger’s primary role is to counter increasing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) threats, it also has a secondary ground-ground capability as its 35 mm Advanced Hit Efficiency and Destruction (AHEAD) ammunition can be effective against some ground targets.

The new system is fitted with an Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk 3 remote controlled turret armed with a 35 mm/90 calibre gas-operated Oerlikon Revolver Cannon. It has 252 rounds of ready use ammunition, and the empty cartridge cases are ejected externally.

In the air-defence role its maximum range is 4,000 m and it has a nominal rate of fire of 1,000 rounds per minute or a single-shot mode at 200 rounds a minute.

For the counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAV) role, it would typically fire the latest-generation AHEAD 35x228 mm round that has a muzzle vehicle (m/v) of 1,050 m/s. The first example of the new Skyranger Gun is a single-feed system, but there is growth potential for a dual-feed system.

There are currently four types of 35 mm AHEAD ammunition: PMD062 with a payload of 152 sub-projectiles, PMD330 with 497 sub-projectiles, PMD375 with 860 sub-projectiles, and PMD428 with more than 600 sub-projectiles that are optimised against UAVs.

Other types of 35x228 mm ammunition can be fired, including high-explosive incendiary (HEI), high-explosive incendiary – tracer (HEI-T), frangible armour piercing (FAP), and associated training rounds.

Germany seriously needs to woo KSA back, and sell some serious amount of Leopards. IF KSA goes ahead with it's plans to induct a second MBT, nobody but Germany looses.

I believe we have exported MG4s and some patrol like boats, but nothing serious to Saudi Arabia.

Germany is pitching the MEKO 80 OPV to the Bulgarian competition for 2 new Offshore Patrol Vessels. not much is known about Bulgaria's offer though such as sensors or weaponry, however it is assumed that their MEKO 80's will be fitted with a Oto Melara 76mm and 4 Exocet Block 2 or 3 Anti-ship missiles. most likely 1 will be built in Germany and 1 will be built in Bulgaria

Germany is offering 150 GTK Boxers to the Bulgarian Military. Germany is only 1 of 2 countries offering production on their product, and with Bulgaria license manufacturing Mercedes G-Class Wolfs and Zetros troop trucks, we may have a good success
