Finland to order MiSu PMPVs
The Finnish Defence Forces’ Logistics Command is set to order MiSu protected multipurpose vehicles (PMPV) from Protolab, the Finnish Ministry of Defence has announced.
Four 6x6 PMPVs will be procured for field testing by the Finnish defence forces throughout 2018-2020 to assess their suitability for Finnish requirements.
The vehicles are built to resist mine blasts and are fitted with ballistic protection.
The €4 million procurement is a part of a development programme to improve the mobility of soldiers in field.
