Minister of Defense Ermal Nufi appreciated that these 40 tactical vehicles today are a clear contribution to strengthening the capacities of the Armed Forces.

Today, we bear witness to Albania’s rising industrial capacity in the defense sector—a long-held ambition finally realized. As noted, this milestone stems directly from the implementation of the KAYO and defense industry laws. Through the concrete partnership between KAYO and TIMAK, TIMAK Defense has delivered the first 40 domestically produced vehicles to our Armed Forces three months ahead of schedule, comprising 35 light tactical 4+1 vehicles and 5 trucks, said Nufi.

According to him, “Our objective remains completely clear: we must build a modern defense industry, capable of meeting the needs of our institutions and all the commitments we have within the North Atlantic Alliance, but at the same time also integrating international supply chains by meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability,” he said.

Nufi underlined that this is a strategic investment for the future of the country.

The minister also added that by the end of the year, 50 more vehicles from the TIMAK Defense company are expected to be delivered to the Armed Forces. /m.q/a.f/p.s./
