Villhund (AFV)

The Villhund AFV is an 8x8 wheeled multi-role armoured fighting vehicle, developed by a joint ringeriker-sannlig consortium of Stålgilde Heavy Industries and Sannsystems AB, to replace older vehicles of the armies of Ringerike and Sannlibo.

One of the most important features is the use of interchangeable mission modules, which can be separated from the driveline. The exchange of mission modules makes it possible to adapt the vehicle to any new mission in under one hour.
