The daily good news, from many, from the economy. Once again, an Israeli company from the high-tech industry can bring in huge orders. The left lie again defeated. Global organizations, companies or investors do not shun away from Israel. The opposite is true.

Elmet International SRL, was awarded a follow-on contract valued at $120 million from General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) to supply unmanned turrets, Remote Controlled Weapon Stations (RCWS) and mortar systems for the ‘Piranha V’ Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) of the Romanian Armed Forces.

In addition to Romania, Elbit Systems’ turrets, RCWS and mortar systems have been selected to date by dozens of customers across the world including Israel, U.S.A, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, and Croatia.
The second contract for ELBIT was awarded with an aggregate value of $252 million to supply artillery rocket systems to a European NATO member country.
