PATRIA AMVXP APC : Finland is Testing Prototype of New Patria 8×8 armored wheeled vehicle!

The prototype of the new Patria 8×8 armored wheeled vehicle called the AMV XP has been spotted in Japan.
The new version of the Finnish armored wheeled vehicle was spotted during evaluation to be the potential replacement for the locally-made Type 96 8×8 armored personnel carrier.
This vehicle is a part of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force’s project called the Next Wheeled Armored Vehicle operating under the Japanese Ministry of Defense.
Earlier in December 2020, the Finnish state-controlled Patria Group reported that AMV XP 8×8 vehicles have been sent from Finland to Japan for test purposes.
