MOWAG Piranha III/40mm
Notes: The Finnish government decided to go ahead and equip the Finnish Army with a 10x10 version of the MOWAG Piranha III, with a turret mounting the Bofors L/70 autocannon, instead of a comparably equipped XA-180-series vehicle, despite the protests of Patria Vehicles and the Finnish Army. It was felt that the larger chassis with its larger load carrying capability would better serve the Finnish Army, despite the increased weight. The Piranha III is large, but carries a large amount of passengers and cargo, as well as ammunition for its autocannon and machinegun.
Twilight 2000 Notes: This vehicle came into service near the outset of the Twilight War and is rather rare.

XA-188
Notes: This Finnish wheeled armored personnel carrier is also in use by Norway, Ireland, Netherlands, and Sweden. It is similar in appearance to the LAV-25 series, though it is more heavily armored. Several versions exist, including three APCs, a TOW ATGM vehicle, a radar carrier, and a SAM carrier. The vehicle is radiologically shielded and has an NBC overpressure system. The commander is in the front of the hull on the right with the driver on the left, with bullet resistant windows on the front and sides, and a door on either side of the hull, and a hatch on the roof for the commander. The engine is to the rear of the driver, and the passenger compartment behind that. On either side of the passenger compartment are three firing ports. There are hatches on the roof for standing infantrymen, and doors on the rear of the hull with firing ports.

Notes: This is a command post carrier version of the XA-200 vehicle (an upgraded version of the XA-188). The vehicle is lightly armed, but carries at least 4 radios, a collapsing 24-meter antenna mast that automatically deploys guy ropes when extended (10 minutes and two people to deploy), 4 other antennas, a 10kW auxiliary power unit, and a battle management computer. Large stowage boxes are located on the rear hull deck.
