The deals range from a US Army $1.5 billion contract with Oshkosh, Italy for $784 million from IDV and Canada’s $1.8 billion order for Mercedes-Benz Zetros trucks to a German order worth $3.5 billion with Rheinmetall.
The weapon will have a range of more than 2,000km, according to the UK Ministry of Defence.
