Ukrainian Infantry Fighting Vehicle
The SPz Marder 1 is a German infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) developed by Rheinmetall that has served as the main combat vehicle of the armored infantry divisions of the Bundeswehr since the 1970s.
The vehicle underwent several modernizations throughout its service life, with the A3 upgrade program launching in 1988. This modernization included 1600 kilograms of improved armor, reinforced suspension, a new braking system, and a modified turret configuration. The resulting SPz Marder 1A3 has proven to be one of the world’s most battle-tested and reliable IFVs.
Starting in March 2023, Ukraine began receiving SPz Marder 1A3s, with deliveries continuing until late 2024. Open sources indicate Ukraine received approximately 200 of these vehicles, primarily allocated to the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where they have demonstrated their effectiveness as well-protected and reliable infantry fighting vehicles.
