Also in use are different models of the Patria Sisu XA-series (Sisu XA-185).

New Swedish Combat Vehicle 90s and Finnish Patria AMV 8x8s have been ordered for the Readiness brigades.

Air-defence
Anti-aircraft protection of important targets are handled by Crotale AA missile systems mounted on Sisu XA-180 armoured vehicles [1], ASRAD-R AA missile system mounted on Unimog 5000 truck and by Swiss Oerlikon 35 mm twin-barrel AA cannons [2]. Helsinki and other important targets are protected by late-generation Russian AA missile system BUK M1 (SA-11) [3]. Close-range AA support for troops is provided by 23 mm twin-barrel AA guns (Russian-made ZU-23-2, nicknamed "Sergei") [4], shoulder-fired Igla-M missiles [5] and RBS 70 man-portable air defence missile system.

Bilateral trade agreements between Finland and the Soviet Union often included weapons. As a curiosity, many Russian weapons were supplied as a "package". For example, tanks came with AK-47 sidearms for the crew. This is how the Finnish Army possesses large amounts of old Soviet equipment.

Army Aviation
Four Soviet-produced Mi-8 helicopters are used by the army for transport, hoisting and rescue services. 20 European NH90 TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopters) will enter service in the near-future, replacing the Mi-8s. The Army also uses Hughes 500 D and E helicopters. The Finnish Army has 11 unmanned reconnaissance airplanes (RUAG Ranger), which are used for reconnaissance and artillery targeting purposes.
