According to US Congressional notifications from DSCA on May 16, 2017, Lebanese Army is expected to receive a grant of "up to" 50 M109A5 Howitzers along to 28 M992A2 Field Ammunition Support Vehicles under the EDA program. The grant is valued at $5,502,083.
Lebanon is already expecting 24 M109A5 and 10 M992 as EDA; it is not clear whether this new grant is completely separate from the previous authorization or an extension of it. Besides the LAF already operates 12x M109A2 received back in 2015 through transfer from Jordan.

Does someone mentioned when the LAF is expecting to get the M109A5 and the M992 ?
ReplyDeleteNo further info on this. The ten M992 from the smaller grant were received though.
