SISU's XA-180 is the first model, that was taken to use 1983 in the Finnish army. The later models are improved with more armour protection, different engines etc and also have a different name. The Estonian one on your second post is indeed a XA-180, the one in your first post is a Dutch XA-188. The new Patria AMV is a XA-300-series.
Other versions in production...
* XA-181 Crotale NG (New Generation) Self-Propelled Surface-To-Air Missile system
* XA-185 AWV (Armored Wheeled Vehicle)
* XA-203 AFV Fire Support Vehicle
* Jantronic J-1000
being tested / have been tested
* XA-185 ITOW / TOW-2 SP-ATGM system (Self-Propelled Anti-Tank Guided Missile)
* XA-185/XA-203 AMOS Advanced MOrtar System

Your list lacks at least 2 non exports in use currently(comms version and a "secret squirrel version"). I don't know the designations cause I don't care. They are not known for their designations in the forces but by their FDF nicks.
We have a few........although I`m not too sure whats being done with them since the Mowags arrived.
hehe nice way of using refrigerator magnets
Yeah. The new communications version would be the XA-202, I don't know what you mean in this context when you say secret squirrel, but it should be in the list below which is somewhat new (the other one above was several years old).

* XA-185 Radar : avec système de radar de surveillance du champ de bataille

* XA-186 : version with more armour
* XA-186NO : Norwegian version of XA-186

A little note on the dutch XA-188;
This vehicle was bought solely for the purpose of peacekeeping missions. It's not supposed to be used on a real combat mission (like going to war). But this is just theory, since they only thing the dutch military does these days is peace-keeping mission.
Nope, neither of them are in that list. That list says 202 is command, not comms. Where is that list from anyway?
Ok, just for you, XA-202 communications version (viesti).
What is the secret squirrel version?
