Following Nordic defence and security matters, mostly technical, and am myself based in the Nordics. Yes, I'm aware the pun is stupid ;). He/him.

#eurosatory 2026's most affordable vehicle was presumably this offering from VW.
Showed up at #eurosatory, that is, but I forgot the tag...
On neither Kongsberg's or Patria's stands at #eurosatory but over at Renk's was this unmanned TRACKX vehicle with an RS6 turret with a cluster of rockets. You can also see Kongsberg's new C-UAS radar on the front.
They also brought along a K9A2, but neither Nordic operators have any plan on procuring or upgrading to this configuration AFAIK.
Oh, I forgot the models:
Finland's Savo Defence showed up with a couple of vehicles, the most Nordic of these being the Sisu GPT in ambulance configuration.
Hanwha brought a Chunmoo to #eurosatory, a nice preview of what is going to be delivered for the Norwegian Army. I'm not sure which carrier is decided on for Norway, but they showed a couple of alternatives in model form.
At BAE Systems' stand at #eurosatory there was a lot of Swedish steel present. The BVS10 EVO, the 8x8 Archer configuration, the TRIDON Mk 2 and the CV90.
