Latvia will hand over Patria armored personnel carriers to Ukraine

Latvia has ordered Patria 6x6 armored personnel carriers for the needs of the Ukrainian army.

This was reported by the Ministry of Defence of Latvia on Monday, February 10.

"This year, Ukraine’s defenders will receive Latvian-made armored vehicles. We not only support Ukraine in its fight against the occupiers but also test the application and durability of the armored vehicles in real combat conditions, which will provide valuable insights for the national armed forces," said Latvia’s Defence Minister Andris Spruds.

The ministry recalls that back in 2021, it ordered more than 200 Patria 6x6 armored vehicles. And in the summer of 2024, an additional 56 vehicles were ordered, but of the command and control type.
