Lithuania is considering the acquisition of Swedish CV90 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) to support its growing military needs. During a meeting of the State Defence Council on October 22, Lithuanian Defence Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas and Chief of the Armed Forces General Raimundas Vaikšnoras presented plans to procure these highly capable tracked vehicles for the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The CV90, produced by BAE Systems Hägglunds AB, is one of the world’s most advanced infantry fighting vehicles, known for its versatility and combat effectiveness.

The new G410 fleet will partially replace the DAF 2300 series semi-trucks that were first introduced to the market in the late 1970s. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #estonia #scania

🇩🇪💪 VINCORION has signed a 12-million euro deal to supply the German Army’s Boxer armored fighting vehicles with onboard generators. More than 700 EPG huskyV W 600 generators are set to be delivered, with potential additional orders bringing the total to 1,000 units.

South Korea's defense giant, Hanwha Aerospace, and Malaysian special vehicle manufacturer Cendana Auto have joined forces to modernize the Malaysian Army's aging K200 tracked infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). This strategic partnership aims to upgrade these vehicles, which have faithfully served for over three decades. An agreement was recently inked by the two companies in early August 2024, marking a significant step towards enhancing Malaysia's defense capabilities. The Malaysian Army is the only export customer of the K200, having received around 111 vehicles from South Korea in the 1990s. The army later acquired an additional batch of upgraded K200A1 IFVs, featuring an improved powerpack, reinforced armor, and NBC protection. The current modernization initiative is viewed as a continuation of efforts to keep the fleet operational. #HanwhaAerospace #CendanaAuto #MalaysianArmy #DefenseModernization #MilitaryUpgrade #defense #defence #military #engineering #technology #technologies #armor #protection #malysia #southkorea #army

Leonardo and Rheinmetall have decided to establish a joint venture aiming at forming a new European nucleus for the development and production of military combat vehicles in Europe. The companies had already signed a corresponding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Rome at the beginning of July 2024. Rheinmetall AG and Leonardo S.p.A. will be equal shareholders (50% each) in the new company Leonardo Rheinmetall Military Vehicles (LRMV), which will have its legal headquarters in Rome and an operational headquarter in La Spezia. The definition of the agreement and the establishment of the company, which will be expected by the first quarter 2025, are subjected to usual regulatory approvals for this sort of operation. The primary goal of the joint venture is the industrial development and subsequent marketing of the new Italian main battle tank (MBT) and the new Lynx platform for the Armoured Infantry Combat System (AICS) programme as part of the Italian Army’s programme for land systems. The Panther KF51 developed by Rheinmetall will be the basis for the new main battle tank to replace the Ariete in the Esercito Italiano - Italian Army. The Italian AICS programme involves the procurement of over 1,000 armoured combat systems in 16 variants in the future. In addition to the classic infantry fighting vehicle, there will be anti-aircraft (Skyranger), reconnaissance and anti-tank versions.
