Puma u14
The Puma u14 is a premium version of the Puma VTJF, a modern German infantry fighting vehicle developed by the consortium PSM GmbH. The project was launched following the cancellation of the Marder 2 program and was aimed at creating a highly protected, mobile, and technologically advanced next-generation IFV. The unique appearance of this vehicle is inspired by a Puma from the 33rd Mechanized Infantry Battalion (Panzergrenadierbataillon 33) during military exercises conducted in 2022. The vehicle features additional decorative elements — wooden pallets and pieces of fabric attached to the hull — adding variety and individuality to its visual appearance.
The Puma is armed with a 30 mm MK30-2/ABM automatic cannon paired with a 5.56 mm coaxial machine gun, and is also equipped with a Spike-LR II launcher. Its ammunition load includes armor-piercing rounds and high-explosive fragmentation shells with programmable airburst detonation.
The vehicle is fitted with composite armor, providing a high level of protection for its class while still being capable of speeds of up to 70 km/h. The Puma IFV is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a laser warning system, a laser rangefinder, thermal imaging devices for all crew members, and a UAV. Smoke grenades are also available.
Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.
