According to an article about AMAP the aeral density of older ceramic armour (i.e. MEXAS) providing protection according to STANAG 4569 level 3 was about 60 kg/m² which is essentially the same as CAWA-3. The weight of the ceramic tiles could be reduced from 40 to 28 kg with AMAP ceramics - if...

Expensive technology and reduced orders. Originally it was planned to have several thousand Boxers in NATO service. The Boxer is the result of a military procurement programme of four countries (France, UK, Netherlands, Germany). The French government decided to drop out of the programme, after...

272 Boxers and support equipment costed 891 million € (so a single one with support equipment would roughly cost about 3.2 million € or 4.3 million U.S. dollars).

The "armoured glass" might be transparent ceramic armour. It is possible to achieve protection against 14.5 mm AP from 200 m (STANAG 4569 level 4) with transparent ceramic layers and transparent polymers (used as foil in order to keep the ceramic tile from falling apart).

A few new images of the Protected Mission Module Carrier (PMMC) G5:

Is it a licence production of the TAPV or why does it look like a one-to-one copy?

The Talha on the picture seems to be very similar, but there are still some differences. 6 vs 5 roadwheels, another small plate between glacis and lower front hull, different vision blocks for the crew...

You mixed up some images in the last posts. On image in the Dingo post shows MaxxPro MRAPs and one of the Eagles is a Ocelot.

Centauro is far away from being an APC/IFV with the exception of Freccia.

Probably not. It looks only "like ERA" (i.e. small tiles) in the latest generation of vehicles. All previous versions/prototypes had larger modules. The idea behind the modular armour is mainly that it can be disattachted prior flights, but another thought behind it was the ability to easier...

Puma IFV:

MOWAG TROJAN Prototypes made for the SPz 2000 (IFV 2000) programe. Other contenders include the CV9030CH (upgraded CV9030), Warrior 2000 (improved Warrior with 30 mm MK44) and the Marder M12 (Marder 1A3 with MK 30-2). The CV9030CH won.
