9 Jan. () –
The Moldovan Army will receive on Tuesday the first batch of Piranha model armored vehicles supplied by the German authorities within the framework of an agreement between Berlin and Chisinau signed in October 2021.
As reported by the Ministry of Defense of Moldova in a statement, this supply of armored vehicles is intended to “improve the capabilities of the National Army”, even more so at a time when the country is under a state of emergency.
In addition, the armored vehicles will also be used as part of the training process for the military that will be deployed for international peacekeeping missions, as detailed by the Moldovan Defense portfolio.
The Chisinau authorities decreed a state of emergency on February 24 — coinciding with the outbreak of the war in neighboring Ukraine — and have repeatedly warned of possible Russian plans to attack its national territory.
