AK: 100 new EDF-bought vehicles arrive in Paldiski


A total of 100 military vehicles, primarily trucks and landrover-type equipment, arrived in Estonia Tuesday, ETV news show "Aktuaalne kaamera" (AK) reports.
The vehicles were procured by the State Defense Investment Center (RKIK), and Tuesday's shipment, at the port of Paldiski, west of Tallinn, was the second batch of a €2.2-million tender.
The first consignment arrived last year.
Tuesday's order totaled 80 four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles and 20 trucks, all procured from the Netherlands. The vehicles are used, which the RKIK says is a more cost-effective way of procuring support vehicles.
RKIK vehicle and equipment category manager Toomas Kalda told ERR that: "Buying used wheeled vehicles is extremely sensible ... it is more rational and effective to spend limited taxpayer resources budgeted to us on weapons that actually play a much bigger role on the battlefield."
