US defence contractor Oshkosh Corporation has won an AED1.4bn (US$380m) deal to provide the UAE with 750 armoured vehicles, it was announced on Monday.
Wisconsin-based Oshkosh will supply the Gulf state's armed forces with 750 mine-resistant M-ATV trucks. The vehicles, which are also used by the US and Polish militaries, were deployed in US-led conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The deal was announced at the IDEX show in Abu Dhabi and the M-ATV has a list price of about US$480,000 per vehicle.
"This vehicle is in very high demand," John M Irias, executive VP of Oshkosh Corporation and president of Oshkosh Defence, said.
