Arma 6x6 APC

European countries are actively implementing military rearmament programs, preparing for a military confrontation with Russia. The Baltic "tigers" are not left out of the militarization process either.

In particular, Estonia began receiving Turkish armored vehicles under a €200 million contract, which was concluded in October 2023 and provides for the transfer of 130 Arma 6x6 armored personnel carriers from Otokar and 100 NMS 4x4 armored personnel carriers from Nurol Makina by 2026 to equip two infantry brigades, primarily the 2nd.

These armored vehicles are of world-class quality, they meet the requirements of our defense forces, and in the current tense geopolitical situation, fast delivery times play an important role.

- stated by the President of Estonia, Alar Karis.
