Two Estonian firms have been granted the tender to repoint Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) tracked armored vehicles for several different purposes, in the largest defense contract to be awarded to an Estonian firm by the Estonian state itself.
AS Ühenenud Depood and Scania Eesti AS have won the €29.8-million contract, BNS reports, awarded by the Center for Defense Investment (RKK).
Thirty-seven Swedish-made Combat Vehicle 90 (CV90) tracked military vehicles are to be reconfigured to tasks focusing on combat engineer roles, anti-tank roles and several other uses, and will fit out the EDF s 1st Infantry Brigade s Scouts Battalion (Scoutspataljon). The development also brings to a close a process which has gone on for several years, BNS reports.
