Israel’s Elbit Systems secures £200m rocket launcher deal with secret Nato member
The agreement reflects the growing European demand for Israeli long-range firepower, despite condemnation over the Gaza war
Assessment
A £200m rocket launcher contract for Elbit Systems with an unnamed NATO member signals Europe's practical appetite for Israeli defense hardware, even as political criticism of the Gaza war persists. The secrecy around the buyer suggests sensitivities, but the deal's scale points to strategic procurement priorities outweighing public rhetoric. Watch for further European orders as long-range firepower demand grows.
