MOWAG Trojan
Notes: This is a tracked armored personnel carrier first produced for the requirements of the Swiss Army. The Swiss eventually went with the CV-9030 (see Swedish APCs), but in 1992 the Finnish company Patria Vehicles bought the design and manufacturing rights, calling the vehicle the TC-500, and modified it for use in extreme temperatures (especially cold) and deep snow and ice. The vehicle was designed to be modular for easy upgrading and easy servicing. Add-on extra armor can be added; this weighs 4.5 tons, slows the vehicle by 10%, and costs $15,000; it adds 4 points of armor to all faces. The vehicles were designed to use three different autocannons, and any of these may be installed in the vehicle with minimal modification in 1 hour. The driver's hatch is on the front left, and, unlike most armored vehicles, the driver has periscopes that allow him to see over the engine on the front right when buttoned up. There are two hatches on the turret deck for the commander and gunner, and a large drop ramp on the rear face for the passengers. The troops have no firing ports, but there is a machinegun cupola with a periscope for suppressive fire. Typical autocannon for Finnish use is 25mm KBA, but the other autocannons have also been tested and are available in small numbers.

NA-110 Nasu
Notes: Finland's Arctic troops used horses for transport well into the 1960's, but eventually, the Finnish military decided it was time to replace them with vehicles. To this end, they license-produced the Swedish Bv-202 (the predecessor of the Bv-206), but weren't happy with the vehicle and, with heavy modifications, turned them into the NA-110. The main modifications were the replacement of the engine with a more powerful and fuel efficient one, and much larger fuel tanks. Tracks were widened for better performance on deep snow and in swamps, and amphibious characteristics were improved. Light armor was added, as well as the facility for appliqué armor. (Appliqué armor adds 300 kg to the weight of the vehicle, adds 2 points to each face, slows the vehicle by 10%, and costs $1000.) The result is a vehicle 1 meter longer and 1 ton heavier than the base vehicle, but with better characteristics. There is a weapon mount (PHT) by a hatch on the forward part of the vehicle. ATGM may also be mounted by this hatch.
