Under the contract, the company will install the recoil mortars on the back of Vamtac 4×4 vehicles.
The Vamtac vehicles are being produced in Spain by UROVESA along with participation from local industries.
Elbit Systems Land and C4I Division’s general manager Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis said that the mortar is also in use with the US Army, Israel Defence Forces and other armies.
