@@PacificFront Just for info - Latvia made large number order for at least 5x types of UK CVRT class vehicles who also will be equipment with SPIKE anti-tank guided missiles (made in Israel). Large number self-propelled-guns (SPG) M-105 class, Balckhawks helicopters from USA and we are looking to order NASAMS 3 air-defense system!
@@matrixberzins465 wow, Latvia buy a lot of cool stuff.. we have NASAMS 2, but we only have 2 batteries.. and used M105 from Belgium if I'm not mistaken.. how about the air force?
Which one to choose....?? it depends i guess. I'd prefer VAB MK3, i mean...you do get a lot from the platform, it looks cooler and the aftersales is very convenient i'd say especially for a country with limited budget and has a history of using previous VAB platform
true.. for Indonesia who always use renault parts and engine, it will be more convenient to choose the mark 3.. design wise patria still looks like the old ones.. not much different.. but VAB shape is looks bolder in this one.. I watched Janes video about VAB with all kinds of add-on armor and cages, and it looks so cool
ah, so it is built exactly for Finland geographic.. I like that.. having a swimming ability from the start is really a good idea in my opinion.. not only for country which have a lot of lakes like Finland, but also for cross river operation.. they can continue marching even though the bridges are destroyed.. 😁
Latvia's eastern side is also very wet, lots of lakes and swamps, small rivers. This is a good deal that was mentioned in the video. I think 3 vehicles were briefly shown in today's parade.
@@PacificFront Yeah it's hard to Tell, there are over 40 Versions of the Fuchs used in the German Army. The new A8 hast a remote controlled weapon Station and storage boxes in the Side of the vehicle. It also has better mine protektion as well
for Patria 6x6, in 2021 Latvia ordered 200 vehicles for USD 237 million.. so about 1.18 million each.. meanwhile I don't know for the VAB since no one is buying it yet.. but I predict to be more expensive..
Honestly, I'am abstain, because for my opinion, patria or VAB not my favourite. If Indonesia must choose beetwen Patria and VAB, my suggest, vote VAB. But i hope not, i'd prefer domestic product.
I would like to choose domestic product too. what I want to point out with these 2 vehicles are they make it with a modular and open architecture in mind.. makes them convenient to be repurpose and upgraded in the future with the latest tech.. I hope Anoa 3 will have that approaches in mind as well.. :D
the Germans will finally get rid of the Fuchs? yes, it seems like Patria 6x6 is very popular in Europe.. the disadvantage of the VAB is that even France don't choose it..
@@fujii_natsuooooo yes.. just like what they did with Bushmaster/Sanca.. the one in Indo Defence is just a sample.. maybe if the MoD is interested and plan to buy it, we can locally produce this vehicle..
Latvia is ordering at least 300x Patria 6x6 vehicles how I know.
300+? that's a lot.. the apc only or other variant like mortar carrier and ambulance also?

I think it was 300 million spent on them not 300 pieces. But I might be wrong.
Edit: I was wrong
Apparently I was wrong and it's 300+ Patrias.
Great video....👍👍
thanks

The Finnish 6x6 can swim. Why? Look at the map of Finland, and zoom in a few times... You are actually never more than 1-3 km from the nearest lake.

Ability to cross water is very important. Just look at how much river(s) have impacted the frontlines in Ukraine.
The German Fuchs APC is also very similar,. I'd Like to see how ist compares to the VAB 6x6 and Sisu
yeah fuchs is also similar, but I don't see if the German plans to modernize it...
@@PacificFront Yes there is a modernized Version, the Fuchs A8
@@dariuszgyukin774 ah I see... I didn't know that.. the look is very similar with the old ones.. I didn't notice 😅
@@PacificFront Yeah it's hard to Tell, there are over 40 Versions of the Fuchs used in the German Army. The new A8 hast a remote controlled weapon Station and storage boxes in the Side of the vehicle. It also has better mine protektion as well
@@dariuszgyukin774 40 version? that's a lot.. but the overall look doesn't changed much, no? not like the modern version of VAB and SISU
Furthermore, versus ANOA 3 if it has been launched.
yes.. Anoa 3 will be another competitor in 6x6 market in near future
@@PacificFront Well now we know ANOA 3 is a variant of VAB MK3 specially for Indonesia !!
@@julienloco yes it will be made specifically for the Indonesian Army, if they plan to buy it..
VAB 👍
cost comparation?

Thank you 😀
Patria.
Of course Arquus VAB Mk3...

I am pretty sure you can build Patria with licence in your own country so then it is kind of domestic product.
Well, Germany just chose Patria, so that's something.
the Germans will finally get rid of the Fuchs?
yes, it seems like Patria 6x6 is very popular in Europe.. the disadvantage of the VAB is that even France don't choose it..
👏👏👌👌👍👍😁😁🙏🏼🙏🏼
thanks :)
Patria
🔥🔥🔥
Why is this Finnish dude speaking in Indian accent?
no I'm not Finnish nor Indian... I'm Indonesian :)
If you want to see a Finnish rally driver test drive this Patria vehicle, here is a video for that

ANOA 3 LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
it will make a debut on Indo Defence this week 😁
@@PacificFront just a rebadge from arquss lol
@@fujii_natsuooooo yes.. just like what they did with Bushmaster/Sanca.. the one in Indo Defence is just a sample.. maybe if the MoD is interested and plan to buy it, we can locally produce this vehicle..
Anoa 3 better
I hope Anoa 3 will be as cool as these two :D
