HISTORY
The Patria AMW is built in Finland, Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace is a co-owner of the Finnish patria company with 49.9%. The AMW stands for Armored Modular Vehicle and is an multi role vehicle with 8x8. It is designed and produced by Finland and its Patria company. Development for a new modular vehicle started back in 1995, and trough the years many different vehicles were made, but around 2004 this variant of the patria was introduced and produced.

This vehicle was first seen at Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre EUROSATORY event in 2018, where Patria exhibited it. From my understanding, both parties has cooperated in integrating the remote turret onto the vehicle. It features the Patria AMW xp from Patria and the RT40 turret from Kongsberg, it is equipped the Bushmaster Mk.44 30x173mm cannon with an 7.62mm coaxial machinegun, and on the roof it has the crows weapon station with the 12.7mm M2 Browning in addition to an 127mm Javelin anti tank guided missile, the turret also have 2x smoke grenades on each corner of the turret. The vehicle was also seen at an live fire demonstration in 2021, where we also saw it without the crows weapon station. This is a technology demonstrator, and it has not been adopted by any nation yet.

IN GAME
This is a vehicle that should be possible to be added for both Norway and Finland, either as an regular Tec tree vehicle or as an event/battle pass, maybe even as an squadron vehicle. This would also open greater opportunities for a splitted Swedish Tec tree, with Sweden and Finland in one and Norway with Denmark in another tree.
