Germany’s Armed Forces plan to expand their arsenal of Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicles, as indicated in the Federal Budget project for 2025.
The document provides for financial authorizations of about US $ 1.7 billion for the years 2028 and 2029, which will allow the continuity of the production of these vehicles. Currently, 50 Puma vehicles have already been ordered in S1 configuration, with expected deliveries between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2027.

Initially, Bundeswehr had requested 61 additional vehicles to reach the full capacity provided for in its current structure, which also includes training schools for armored vehicles. However, experts expect this demand to be reviewed in the face of structural changes and the creation of new mechanized units, aligned with NATO’s updated goals. The current fighter agreement, signed in May 2025, allows the purchase of up to 229 Puma vehicles, which gives flexibility for future acquisitions.
In addition, Germany may be preparing for a significant acquisition of KNDS Germany’s Boxer Fighting Vehicles. The purchase, estimated at about $ 4.5 billion, aims to equip a new category of forces called “medium forces”, which will focus on mobility and operational agility.
With these investments, Bundeswehr seeks to modernize and expand its response capacity in conflict scenarios.
