The Finnish Ministry of Defense (MoD) has authorized the Finnish Defense Forces (FDF) to sign a contract with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann to upgrade the fire-control systems of the Army’s Leopard 2A4 and Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). 

Krauss-Maffei Wegmann will undertake the work on the Finnish Army’s Leopard 2 A4 and 2 A6 MBTs, which were originally procured from Germany and the Netherlands.

The MoD valued the procurement, including options, at €10 million, excluding VAT.
