Israel's Elbit Systems gets $103 million electronic warfare contract

APRIL 26, 2020

TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems said on Sunday it won a contract worth about $103 million to supply electronic warfare (EW) suites for an air force of an Asian country.

The contract will be carried out over three years and includes long-term integrated logistic support. Elbit did not name the Asian country.

Under the contract, Elbit Systems will fit the customer’s helicopters with complete EW suites, including countermeasure systems.

“Demand for combat-proven EW systems is getting stronger as the electro-magnetic spectrum becomes increasingly contested and the threat to aircraft gets more acute,” said Edgar Maimon, general manager of Elbit Systems EW.

Keep underestimating your enemy.

But he's right, India will never miss an opportunity to boast about its defence spending. They would make a big deal out of it

 

[Avicenna]

I don't think this is India.

NOT UAE.

Possibly Myanmar.

Maybe Singapore.

Maybe Thailand as well.

It has to be UAE. All of their deals with Israel are done this way.

It has to be India but good luck in proving it's not. Indian air force lacks EW capability on choppers.

If I am not mistaken, India get financial help from international institution to combat Covid 19 in the country. They surely dont want to be seen buying weapon in this situation, similar like how Pakistan conceal its buying on large number of VT-4 tank.
