Since its introduction in 2000 the Dingo Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) has developed into a true all-rounder within the Bundeswehr. Both the Dingo 1 and 2 provide an ideal combination of protection cross-country mobility and speed. The ATF Dingo 2 GE A3.3 Patsi version has been used in Afghanistan since 2012 as a reconnaissance and security vehicle.
