Department of National Defense DND
already signed the Php882 million contract with Israel—based firm for the acquisition
of the 28 armored infantry fighting vehicles, with Elbit Systems Land and C4L
for the "very capable" vehicles.
Velez declined to divulged vehicles'
specifications citing its security reasons. He said that four of 28 armored
vehicles are recovery models that will be used to tow damaged units and those
incapacitated in the battlefield. Fourteen of the new acquisitions will be used
as fire support vehicles equipped with 76mm cannons taken from the decommissioned
vehicles.
The delivery of the said vehicles
is expected to be completed January of 2015. The Philippine Army is so far
equipped with 343 armored fighting vehicles for its 10 infantry divisions.
The 28 armored infantry fighting
vehicles are among the department's planned acquisitions this year for the Philippine
Army. The list includes shore—launched anti—ship missile system, various
grenade launchers, 155mm Towed Howitzers and a few other trucks.
