Cost

How much do you think one of these would cost? I cannot seem to find anything about that. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 17:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well Poland bought 690 vehicles for 1,27 billion Euros and the Finns bought 62 AMV's for 96 million Euros (these were 'simpler' than the Polish ones, lacking the big gun turret and only equipped with a remote operated MG). MoRsE 19:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

name

in the title it's called the "advanced modular vehicle" but in the first line, it's the "armored modular vehicle". which one is it? also, the picture states that it's a "Patria XA-360"; shouldn't the title of the article reflect the apparent official designation? Parsecboy 18:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Patria company calls it "AMV Armoured Modular Vehicle", The Poles refers to their version as the "Rosomak" (AMV XC-360P), and the Finns calls their "AMV XA-360" --MoRsE 19:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Power

Page states that system has 360kw engine, although in one reference (army-technology.com) states 405kw. If there are different models, those should be listed. Tuju 10:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Patria designation system is linked to the power of the engine, XA-200 has a 200 kW engine, XA-180 a 180 kW engine....the AMV, or XA-360 has thus a 360 kW engine. It could be that they have sized up the engine for the AMOS version as the tower is quite heavy. I will do some research.--MoRsE 10:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For first years of production a Scania DI12 engine with 360 kW power was used. Few years later it was replaced Scania DC12 engine with 405 kW power for new customers. TnTkr 05:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strange that they haven't changed the model name then. It should be XA-400 or XA-410. As mentioned above, the first two numbers means the engine output in 10's of kW's. The last number means the version (for example, XA-180 was the original Pasi after which there came further developments, as XA-181, XA-182 etc.). Funny enough, the designation system comes originally from the former owner Sisu, which also used it with their trucks and other vehicles but gave up with that in 1995 (or 1996) when the new E-series was presented. --Gwafton (talk) 22:14, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well it is mainly advertised as the "Patria AMV" for foreign customers. --MoRsE (talk) 10:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008

Article reassessed and graded as start class. --dashiellx (talk) 18:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization

Several sections, especially regarding operators, repeat once or even twice. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 09:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If someone can upgrade Combat use section -> few KTO Rosomak from polish contingent in afganistam was destroyed by IED's. There was casulties, even deaths. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.207.174.91 (talk) 22:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency

It states 10km/h water speed (10 mph). as 10km/h = 6mph There is something wrong with this conversion Allmedia (talk) 03:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Armor

Its protected by Advanced Modular Armor Protection.--91.89.246.153 (talk) 19:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuania as Patria AMV operator?

It's marked red on the map, any reason why?! There's no mention of Lithuania even looking at the Patria AMV, let alone testing and even purchasing them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.50.10.228 (talk) 08:11, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That one has passed unnoticed by me, and it is indeed correct that it shouldn't be on the map. There was a user who added Lithuania as an operator, although it was only speculated that they were going to buy APC(w):s. That was before the severe economic downturn that hit the Baltic States a few years back. --MoRsE (talk) 14:43, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Green Devil

The article from http://www.assembly-weu.org says: According to an article in the Polish "Gazeta Wyborcza" on 2 September 2008, Polish Rosomaks are called "Green Demons" by the Taliban insurgents and other armed groups and prove an effective deterrent on the ground. http://wyborcza.pl".

However, the Polish article (also referenced on Wikipedia) says: ...sieje postrach wśród talibów, którzy nazwali go "zielonym czołgiem", which means: ...it spreads fear among the Taliban (insurgents), who nicknamed it "The Green Tank".

The English text is based on the Polish article, so the mistranslation should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QCies (talk • contribs) 00:04, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Amphibious capabilities

The ip user 90.214.252.161 added this text:

* Another Polish variant "Hipopotam",an amphibious variant unveiled at the International Defence Industry Exibition MSPO 2012. It is intended to complement the KTO Rosomak's used by the Polish Army, as the KTO Rosomak does not have amphibious capabilities. The Hipopotam is eight-wheeled and is equipped with a Heavy Machine Gun It is motorized with a 480-kilowatt diesel engine.

In my knowledge all variants of Patria AMV are amphibious. See the photo of the swimming KTO Rosomak. It is already from 2006. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwafton (talk • contribs) 15:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The factory

The producer of Patria AMV is Patria Land & Armament (formerly known as Patria Vehicles). Maybe it needs an own article? However, here is an article about its predecessor: Vanajan Autotehdas (VAT). I thought of linking the article about VAT to the "place of origin" but maybe it doesn't make sense. --Gwafton (talk) 21:14, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 19:41, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Havoc, LockMart joint venture?

Somebody deleted entire section of the article about Havoc project, why? For at least now, I am putting it back. Mikoyan21 (talk) 10:50, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to delete this section? The reason for this is that the information is not accurate and up to date anymore. However we have no official source or link for this yet. --Patria Communications (talk) 08:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This section should be placed somewhere lower in this article, since it is not relevant information considering the history of this vehicle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.209.168.1 (talk) 07:34, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

"The AMV has protection levels up to 30 mm APFSDS frontal arc."

Looks like a sentence that only a mother could love. Protection against APFSDS rounds of caliber 30 mm? Does such a thing exist? ---- 79.223.7.52 (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
