The Marder was also deployed in Kosovo and Afghanistan. This has been made possible by continuous improvements, also known as "combat upgrades" in military jargon. Having entered service in 1971, the Marder is an old but tried-and-tested military vehicle that serves in a number of other armies aside from the Bundeswehr. The Marder is old but reliable, the successor model Puma cannot take its place yet Image: Philipp Schulze/dpa/picture alliance It also has a ventilation system to protect against NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) weapons and can navigate through waters up to two meters deep. It has a 20mm automatic cannon and optional MILAN ( Missile d'Infanterie Legar Antichar, or infantry anti-tank missile) guided missile system for ground and air targets. The Marder is a versatile weapon system, with room for six to seven gunners. Infantry fighting vehicles transport ground troops into combat and provide them with fire support. Germany has announced that it will supply Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. These are several models under discussion. Though air defense and armored recovery vehicles are now set to be shipped, battle and firing tanks are not.
Ukraine has repeatedly requested battle tanks and other armored fighting vehicles from its allies.
