Elbit to Supply $300 Million Armored Vehicle Systems to a European Customer

Israeli Elbit Systems announced that it was awarded a contract for approximately $300 million to supply weapon, reconnaissance, driving, and situational awareness systems for approximately 230 armored vehicles, to an undisclosed European customer. The contract will be performed over six years and includes custom design, production, lifecycle maintenance, and complete in-country support. 

In this context, it is worth paying attention to the purchase by the Austrian MoD of 225 Pandur 6x6 EVO armored vehicles made by GDELS worth 1.8 billion Euros, which are known to carry a UT-30 turret made by Elbit Systems equipped with a 30 mm caliber automatic cannon. 

Bezalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems: “This contract underscores the customer’s high level of satisfaction for our systems and solutions already in service. It also reinforces Elbit Systems’ leadership in the armored vehicle market, underpinned by our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the requirements of our customers.”
