""Billion-dollar deal to supply Australian-made Boxer vehicles to Germany"
Germany's parliament has approved a plan to buy more than 100 Boxer armoured vehicles assembled in Queensland in a deal being touted as Australia's "single biggest defence export" of all time.
A contract worth more than $1 billion is expected to be signed by both nations later on Thursday, in a move which is likely to sustain hundreds of jobs at Rheinmetall's MILVEHCOE facility in Ipswich."

"SINGAPORE — Despite repeated orders from a specialist to stop reversing, the driver of a Bionix armoured vehicle continued to do so.
The vehicle later mounted a Land Rover metres behind it — killing its driver, full-time national serviceman Liu Kai."

No way for Singapore to sell Bionix armoured vehicles to Germany (fought in WWII)
Standards, reliability and quality questionable

German making their own armour vehicles but Australian products are better quality, reliable and more effective
