Romania’s Defense Ministry has launched a new public tender to equip its ground forces.

The tender will be carried out via Romtehnica, the state’s contractor in the defense sector.

The state will buy between 40 and 286 armored SUVs that have platforms for antitank missile systems, reports local Hotnews.ro. The contract is estimated at over EUR 82.5 million. The vehicles should be delivered within 26 months.

At the beginning of this year the Defense Ministry attributed a contract of EUR 93 million to the German-Israeli consortium Eurospike GmbH for the supply of portable anti-tank missile systems.
