Estonia will sign contracts worth approximately €200 million to buy armored vehicles from Turkey for the Estonian Defense Forces (EDF).
More than 200 vehicles will be allocated to the EDF’s 2nd infantry brigade, which has seen heavy investment over the last several years, the Center for Defense Investments said on Monday.

Additionally, four armored 4x4s will be sent to the Rescue Agency’s demining center.

The Ministry of Defense is scheduled to sign contracts with two Turkish companies on October 18.

Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler plans to visit Estonia for the occasion.

  1. Turkish foray into the European defence market continues after Bayraktar sales to Romania, Poland and armored vehicle sales to Hungary, Kosovo and Macedonia. It seems most countries near Russia are somewhat interested in greater cooperation with Turkey.

    Interesting set of news. We knew for some time that Estonia was to buy Turkish 4×4 armored vehicles as all four finalists in their tender to arm their second brigade were Turkish vehicles.

    It was thought that Finnish Patria 6×6 would be the choice for the 6×6 models but apparently not [as it was confirmed that Otokar Arma 6×6 vehicles are to be sold to a European customer](https://x.com/defence_turk/status/1713976655033622673?s=46&t=7tiosvwkaTbbgoSMbRgrzA). Mentioned dates of signature seem to match.

  2. Lol, why a country with population 10x smaller than Moscow needs armored vehicles?

  4. They should buy them from Russia. You know to deplete their armory reserves

  5. “Will buy you 200 more if you quit blocking Sweden you moron”

  6. Unrelated but how is the german military complex doing after the war in ukraine ? Whould’t it make more sense to buy it from them ?
