Yep, indeed. It will probably be designated Ptgb 360 in Swedish service - an abbrevation for "armoured terrain car" - but the vehicle initially thought to enter service was the SEP, but that didn't happen. Seems likely the Patria AMW/Ptgb369 veichle will really be fielded, but who knows - most of the anticipated AFV projects that were entered into OOB066 seemed like done deals, until they were suddenly scrapped.
