A huge well done and thank you to @16AirAssltBde for supporting #tractable by jumping in to #Estonia. I enjoyed seeing your 😀 on the DZ and how proud you were explaining your capability. Your Estonian brothers who jumped with you will have an amazing experience to treasure.

The @BritishArmy will receive more than 500 cutting-edge Boxer armoured vehicles.

From carrying troops across deserts to treating severely injured service personnel, Boxer is the adaptable and powerful vehicle the Army will need in the future.
