The delivery of the eight-wheeled vehicles that can be adapted to serve various roles, will begin in September 2023 and continue into 2027.

The total value of the contract includes logistics, infrastructure and ammunition.
Finland, which shares Europe's longest border with Russia, abandoned its long policy of non-alignment following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and is in the process of joining NATO.
