Designed for troop transportation of up to 12 personnel, the vehicle will be modular and can also be configured for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/08\/31\/slovakia-finland-ink-production-deal-for-76-patria-combat-vehicles\/\">other purposes<\/a>, such as command and control, or ambulance duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stockholm plans to ultimately buy several hundred 6&#215;6 vehicles under the CAVS program at a unit price of 11 million kronor (U.S. $1.06 million), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svt.se\/nyheter\/utrikes\/sverige-koper-pansarfordon-av-finskagda-patria\"><u>according to reporting by Swedish publication SVT<\/u><\/a>. The order was hailed by Patria and Swedish officials as a demonstration of Finnish-Swedish cooperation, as the engine and armor are developed by Swedish suppliers including Scania AB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Germany also took a new step into the effort by officially signing the technical arrangement for CAVS on April 17, making it a formal member of the project that currently includes Finland, Latvia, and Sweden, said Patria. The company is majority owned by the state of Finland, with Norwegian arms company Kongsberg also an owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Latvia and Finland first signed a mutual research-and-development agreement in 2020, then signed the CAVS framework agreement the following year. Since 2021, Riga has begun receiving what will eventually be a 200-strong fleet of 6&#215;6 armored personnel carriers, with deliveries to continue through 2029. Meanwhile, Helsinki began receiving its pre-series testing vehicles last summer and is expecting to order 160 in total, per Patria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deliveries of
