As promised in my last white paper post, some of you might remember I came across some info that lead me to throw out that the French were in "cahoots" with the British MOD in the broader use of the CTWS 40mm when I was posting on the FRES program.
1. I give you the SPHINX from Panard a long time leader in armored recon and scout vehicles.

Also of interest some you might remember in one of my first posts on the "SPA SPAA" thread the Swedish SKYRANGER. I came across a picture of a BOXER with the SKYRANGER turret on it, though I believe it's still in development/evaluation stage with Germany and Sweden (Using the PIRANA IV APC.).
