Elbit Systems announced on Monday that it has been awarded a contract valued at $235 million to supply rockets and launchers to an unnamed European country. The deal, which will be executed over three years, is facilitated through a government-to-government agreement between Israel's Ministry of Defense and the defense ministry of the European nation.

Under the terms of the contract, Elbit will provide its EXTRA-MR rockets, a medium-range version of its supersonic EXTRA rocket system. This precision-guided munition is designed to strike enemy targets up to 80 kilometers away, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution for various missions. The rockets are fully compatible with Elbit's PULS launchers and existing command and control systems.

The contract also includes the delivery of PULS rocket artillery systems, the platforms from which the rockets are fired, and additional related platforms. Integrated logistical support is also part of the agreement, though specific quantities of rockets and launchers were not disclosed.

"Winning this contract strengthens Elbit Systems' global position as a world leader in the field of rocket artillery and reflects the growing international demand for our capabilities in this area," stated Bezalel (Butzi) Machlis, the company's President and CEO. He added that the PULS systems and precision rockets are being chosen by an increasing number of customers worldwide, including European nations and NATO members.
