A formidable new tannoms, Fuchs Jagm, was one of the highlights of the DSEI 2025 Defense Fair in London. Developed by German Rheinmetall in partnership with American Lockheed Martin, the vehicle draws attention for its exceptional firepower: armed with up to 24 missiles, capable of engaging a wide range of targets.
This project reflects a renewed global interest in anti -Tank war platforms, partly influenced by the lessons of intense combat in Ukraine.

The vehicle is based on the modernized version of the Fuchs troop transport armor, a consecrated project dating from the 1970s. The great innovation lies in its vertical launch system, consisting of six quadruple modules. These launchers use technology similar to those employed on attack helicopters and war ships, ejecting missiles before their engines are triggered. The platform can be equipped with JAGM or Hellfire missiles, both with a range of approximately 8 km in the default version, and may reach more than 16 km with the JAGM-MR variant (average range).
The main advantage of the JAGM missile is its multimodal search system, which combines a semiative laser with a millimeter wave radar. This allows “shoot and forget” operations in any climatic condition and against moving targets. Target detection is done by a set of electro-optic sensors mounted on a telescopic mast that raises the systems to broaden the field of vision. The system is designed to identify and lock on multiple targets simultaneously, promising the ability to destroy up to 24 quick succession tanks without the need to recharge.
Although it is presented as a tanks, the system is versatile and can face air targets in certain scenarios, as well as destroying artillery positions, patrol boats and fortified structures. Choosing a cheaper and agile wheeled chassis than tracked vehicles facilitates your quick displacement on large fronts. For Lockheed Martin, this is a strategic opportunity to introduce the JAGM missile into the European market.
With tests planned for the second half of 2026, the industry expects the new emphasis on defense against armored, especially in Europe, generates strong interest in this massive and on -demand fire platform.
