The 155mm howitzers will be delivered from Finland Defence Forces’ stock and the sale is expected not to affect the ammunition readiness of the country.
To be delivered to the Estonian Defence Force, the sales agreement for the new ammunition is slated to be signed in the near future.
However, details of the agreement, such as the quantity and quality of the ammunition, will not be made known to the public at the request of the Estonian Defence Force.
The current transaction is part of collaboration between the two countries related to the acquisition of field artillery.
