Slovakia and Finland with Patria have signed a comprehensive government-to-government (G2G) agreement to purchase 76 armored combat vehicles (ACV) from Patria.

Within Slovakia’s BOV 8x8 program Patria will contribute to the development of the local engineering and defence industry by transferring high-end armored modular vehicle technical experience and innovations. Geographically, industrial cooperation covers Slovakia widely. The program will create educational benefits and jobs that provide work for decades, including life cycle services that come after the project.
