Finnish Government,
The Army Materiel Command is selling 20 units of XA-360-APC Kongsberg Protector weapon systems. It is also renting 20 APCs to Patria for an approximate period of 7 months.
The APC weapon systems will be used as part of Patria's operation regarding Slovenia. Patria will deliver new similar weapon systems for the Finnish Defence Forces.
The reason behind this provisional arrangement requested by Patria, has to do with the company's aim to uphold the agreed time frame regarding deliveries. Slovenia has settled on the same weapons system as Finland.
