The Ministry of Defense has announced that the program for large-scale acquisition of ammunition from IMI would allow the IDF to renew its inventory.

During the coming years, the IDF will equip its artillery and infantry corps with precise rockets, missiles and shells made by Israel Military Industries Ltd. (IMI Systems), at a cost of NIS 1.75 billion.

The ministry said a multi-year deal had been signed by its Production and Procurement Directorate to buy NIS 250 million a year in various types of ammunition from IMI Systems.

It said the program for large-scale procurement of various ammunition from IMI would enable the IDF to renew its inventory, following Operation Protective Edge over 2 years ago, and would support the training plan for our forces over the coming 10 years.

Some of the IDF training program has already been covered by the Gideon multi-year program.

In addition to the procurement needs of IDF units for training and preparation for a future military conflict, the ministry also said the new order is a lever to carry out past government decisions on moving IDF Systems from Ramat Hasharon to Ramat Beka in the Negev by 2022.
