Germany: 1,000 Patria 6x6 APCs instead of 900 Rheinmetall Fuchs A9?

In a recent development reported by Bild on April 10, 2024, the German Defense Ministry has opted for the Finnish Patria 6x6 to replace its aging fleet of Fuchs 1 6x6 armored personnel carriers (APCs). This decision comes after deliberation between the Patria 6x6 and the German Fuchs A9 Evolution, with the ministry citing reasons such as the lack of serial production of the Fuchs Evolution and the comparative cost efficiency of the Patria 6x6.
