German Boxer IFV vs Light Armored Vehicle (LAV)

[Slater]

I thought the size comparison was interesting (Boxer on the left). Evidently the high profile is not a concern?

Are they nose to nose? Looks to me like the LAV might be further away.

Looks that way to me as well.

I'm guessing that the LAV is further away and the picture is a bit deceptive.
Generally the Germans make fine IFV's and Scout vehicles.
I believe the Spahpanzer Luchs had dual drivers so they could get out of trouble just as fast as they got in to it.

Perspective is an issue in the photo above, but the Boxer is very long and not small overall.
