Finland will purchase heavy Patria 6x6 vehicles (26. April 2024)

The Finnish Defence Forces will purchase heavy Patria 6x6 armoured vehicles from Patria within the Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) programme. The Finnish Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen has authorised the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command to start a serial procurement of heavy armoured personnel carrier 6x6 vehicles from Patria. The first phase of the acquisition will include one pre-series vehicle and 20 Kongsberg’s remote weapon stations which will be integrated in the vehicles. The acquisition will also include an option for additional purchases of 18 vehicles as well as provisions for vehicle outfitting, maintenance, spare parts, and training.

The joint 6x6 vehicle programme proceeds: Finland to order pre-series vehicles

Das finnische Verteidigungsministerium hat entschieden, die drei Vorserienfahrzeuge des XA-300, die zur Erprobung verwendet worden sind, wieder an Patria zu verkaufen, zu einem Preis von ca. 1,8 Mio. EUR:

Ist eigentlich bekannt welches Schutzniveau die neu bestellten Patria für Finnland, Lettland etc. nun tatsächlich haben?

Dazu gibt es keine offiziellen Informationen.

Patria hat jüngst ein neues Foto eines 6x6 mit Zusatzpanzerung veröffentlicht:

Keines der bisher an Lettland, Finnland und Schweden gelieferten Fahrzeuge weist so eine Zusatzpanzerung auf, sondern nur die Grundpanzerung der Fahrzeugwanne. Höchstwahrscheinlich am seitens des Herstellers genannten STANAG 4569 Level 2.

Abgesehen von Schweden haben bisher alle Kunden amphibische Varianten des Patria 6x6 in Auftrag gegeben, das reduziert die Möglichkeiten zur Anbringung von Zusatzpanzerung.

Beachheads and amphibious armour

Amphibious vehicles tread an awkward line in AFV design. Where standard AFVs must balance mobility, firepower, and lethality, an amphibious AFV must balance all of this with the often-contradictory challenges of having to float and steer in water. The design characteristics that make a vehicle perform well on land; a vehicle length-to-track centre ratio of ~1.6, a sloped glacis, and others, are not correlated with good performance at sea.[5] An amphibious vehicle must be watertight and be able to transition from a ship’s well deck to the sea without sinking. This requires a buoyancy reserve of at least 25% of the vehicle’s weight. Ideally, an amphibious vehicle will also be able to self-recover if it rolls 100°, a non-amphibious but water capable vehicle for comparison, should be able to pitch or roll between 5° and 15° without flooding its engine.[6] An amphibious vehicle also needs to be able to turn quickly within its own length and navigate a ‘plunging surf’ with waves up to 3.6 m.

The vehicle should also have two propulsion systems: its tracks or wheels for operation on land, and a system for propulsion at sea. The design also needs to minimise drag in the water, but external appendages such as wheels and tracks add a lot of drag. Some vehicles are propelled by their wheels or tracks, which produces a relatively slow water speed that can be estimated by . Put more simply, it is rare for a vehicle using its wheels or tracks to exceed 10 km/h at sea. True amphibious vehicles typically employ water jets or propellers for propulsion and aim to exceed this by some margin. The former method takes up additional space inside the vehicle, the latter adds drag to the outside. However, water jets generally provide greater speed and manoeuvrability at sea.[7]

The requirements for amphibious AFVs are therefore complicated to a further degree than conventional AFVs. Consider, for example, the impact of protection requirements on an amphibious vehicle. The greater the protection, the greater the vehicle weight. This naturally equates to the requirement for additional automotive performance as it would on land; however, it may also increase vehicle size as the total volume must increase to maintain buoyancy. This in turn will impact manoeuvrability at sea and on land.
