RECENT CONTRACTS AWARDED IN MILITARY ARMORED VEHICLE MARKET
MIDDLE EAST
Egypt’s strategic engagements against Islamic militants in north Sinai, the participation of Saudi Arabia and UAE’s in Yemeni war and countries in the Middle East trying to secure their borders have led the Middle East countries to procure more armoured Vehicle, and the number is expected to increase amid recent tensions in the region. However, the Middle East is also trying to be self-reliant as local companies like NIMR Automotive are in trade with big players from the U.S. and Europe dealing in Technology transfer and more. However, still, it’s a long way to go.
