8/23/2012

The Finnish army is set to equip its fleet of RG-32M armoured patrol vehicles with new weapon mounts.

Under a USD1.7 million contract, Australian company W&E Platt will supply 39 of its MR550 bi-metal ring mounts.

The MR550 weighs less than 400 kg and features a dual layer of spaced armour that combines two material types. The protection level can be upgraded from STANAG 4569 Level I to Level III.
