On 24 June 2015 Tank-Masters.de was invited to the official ceremony when Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann formally handed over the Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicle to the German Bundeswehr. The Bundeswehr’s fielding of the Puma IFV gives its mechanized infantry a new main weapons system that will gradually supersede the Marder, first introduced over forty years ago.
