Aflam asta direct de la General Dynamics European Land Systems, care ne informeaza ca pe 30 decembrie – in paranteza, buna zi pentru achizitiile militare romanesti – Romania a mai comandat o transa de transportoare blindate Piranha IIIC, cea de-a cincea.
Nu stim cate transportoare au fost comandate si nici in ce configuratie, dar daca ar trebui sa-mi dau cu parerea as spune ca MApNul a comandat restul de vehicule pentru a intregi batalionul de la Craiova care opereaza TABurile Piranha IIIC.
Toata lumea stie ca nu sunt mare fan al acestui transportor, dar in acelasi timp batalionul de la Craiova trebuia completat. Din cunostintele mele ar mai fi fost nevoie de vehicule specializate: centru de comanda, ambulante, etc, totul pana in 20 de masini. Adica sper ca asta sa fie…
Direct in engleza:
„General Dynamics European Land Systems has been awarded a contract to deliver a fifth batch of additional PIRANHA III 8×8 wheeled armored vehicles to the Romanian Armed Forces.
The vehicle supply contract, signed on December 30, 2016, is part of the Romanian Army’s plan to modernize its legacy wheeled armored vehicle fleet. PIRANHA vehicles have been successfully in service with the Romanian Armored Forces since 2006 and have proven its capabilities in various missions in country and abroad.”
Si parerea americanilor de la General Dynamics: „The Romanian Army is a very important PIRANHA user for General Dynamics European Land Systems and we are honored by this contract award as it reflects the high confidence and satisfaction of the Romanian Army in this vehicle,” a spus dr. Thomas Kauffmann.
