Pandur II (8×8) equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
Army exact named equipment holdings of Pandur II (KBV-PZ), Pandur II (KBV-PZLOK), Pandur II (KOT-Z), Pandur II (incl 17 CP, 14 comms, 4 amb). Active, operational-reserve and training units excluding equipment in store; November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only, not a national or parent-force total or combat-readiness measure. Source role(s): ARMOURED FIGHTING VEHICLES / RECCE, ENGINEERING & MAINTENANCE VEHICLES / AEV, ARMOURED FIGHTING VEHICLES / IFV. No heading aggregate, carried armament, crew, payload, factory production or future order count inherited. Family total is the sum of the separately printed nonoverlapping exact model components, each explicitly declared by its own source; no parent or sibling variant identity inferred. Source parentheses retain employment, lease, reporting designation, alternate model, or included-subset scopes exactly. Own fetched primary and alternate/model identity declarations are retained. Numbers inside an included subset are part of the printed count and are never added again; no sibling or parent specification is copied.
