Ukraine will receive Latvian Patria 6x6 armored personnel carriers
This was reported by the press service of the Latvian Ministry of Defense.
The department noted that they have ordered Patria 6x6 armored personnel carriers for Ukraine. The number of vehicles is not specified.
Armored vehicles manufactured in Latvia will reach the defenders of Ukraine this year. We are not only supporting Ukraine in the fight against the occupiers, but also testing the use and durability of armored vehicles in real combat conditions, which will provide valuable conclusions for the national armed forces, — said the Minister of Defense of Latvia Andris Spruds.
