Patria AMV is Finland's modular 8x8 armored wheeled vehicle family, developed by Patria for troop transport, infantry fighting, command, ambulance, reconnaissance, fire-support, anti-tank, repair, and mortar-carrier roles. The family includes the current AMV XP branch, AMOS mortar-carrier integration, licensed derivatives such as Poland's KTO Rosomak supplied to Ukraine, and UAE variants documented in Yemen with remote weapon stations and BMP-3-derived turret fits.
Poland announced Rosomak supply to Ukraine, Yle described the vehicles as Patria AMVs manufactured in Poland under license, and Ukraine's Ministry of Defence later described Rosomak APCs in Ukrainian service. This row reflects the licensed KTO Rosomak branch, not separate Finnish-built AMV deliveries.
Role detailsArmy Recognition reported UAE Patria AMVs in Yemen, including combat-operation use on the western coast with a 12.7 mm remote weapon station and later testing of a BMP-3-turret variant during the UAE intervention.
AMV is a vehicle family rather than one fixed combat fit; Patria and licensed partners offer basic, high-roof, heavy-weapon, AMV XP, and national derivative configurations.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
| Patria AMV basic platform | APC, IFV, command, ambulance, reconnaissance, ATGM, repair, and fire-support base | Patria lists AMV XP basic-model roles including APC, IFV, command, ambulance, reconnaissance, ATGM, ARRV, fire-support, and 120 mm Patria Nemo mortar-system configurations.

| Patria AMV XP High Roof | High-volume command, C4I, ambulance, or workshop branch | Patria says the High Roof model adds rear compartment height for command, C4I, ambulance, or workshop missions, with regular and extended wheelbase options. Sources: Patria AMV XP |
 | Polish licensed AMV-derived armored vehicle family | Patria traces the Polish Rosomak program to 2003 technology transfer and continuing production cooperation; Poland and Ukraine later documented Rosomak APC supply for Ukraine, which is covered in detail on the derivative page.

| Patria AMV with BMP-3 turret | UAE fire-support variant | Army Recognition reported that the UAE tested a Finnish-made AMV fitted with a Russian-origin BMP-3 combat module in Yemen; the same report notes a longer hull for the turreted variant. Sources: UAE Patria AMV in Yemen |
The AMV family's core feature is its ability to accept different mission modules, turrets, and weapon systems on the same armored wheeled base.

 | BMP-3-derived turret and fire-control module | Army Recognition reported UAE testing of a Patria AMV fitted with the BMP-3 combat module in Yemen, tying the AMV chassis to a 100 mm gun-launcher and 30 mm autocannon turret family. Sources: UAE Patria AMV in Yemen |
 | Twin-barrel 120 mm turreted mortar system | Patria identifies the AMV Heavy Weapon Platform as optimized for large-caliber systems including the 120 mm AMOS mortar, and separately says the Finnish Defence Forces acquired AMOS mounted on the XA-361 AMV 8x8.

Patria AMV is treated here as the Finnish-origin vehicle family. National derivatives with mature conflict records can have their own pages; the KTO Rosomak entry carries the detailed Afghanistan and Ukraine rows for Poland's licensed AMV-based family, while this parent page keeps a limited Ukraine row because public sources describe the Ukrainian order as Patria-designed AMV/Rosomak vehicles. The Yemen row remains limited to reported UAE AMV employment and testing.
