Latvia announced that as part of the government’s approved military support package, 42 Patria 6 × 6 armored vehicles will be sent to Ukraine.
The armored vehicle was ordered at the beginning of the year, and according to the Secretary of Defense Andris Spruce, the first vehicle will be shipped soon. Latvia’s Ukrainian defense support is 0.25%of GDP.
The Latvian Defense Ministry guarantees that the donation of vehicles will not interfere with the operational capacity of its army. In February, Ambassador Ukraine confirmed the first shipping production at the Patria plant. PATRIA produces about 30 units per year and meets domestic demand in Latvia.
PATRIA 6 × 6 is the latest armor transport vehicle developed by Finnish company Patria.

It can transport 10 troops, have gloves that can withstand mine and digestive machines, and can also be equipped with neutralization such as machine guns and grenade launchers.
