Thai Marines to Procure Elbit Howitzers
The RMTC is to procure six 155 mm autonomous truck-mounted howitzer systems from Elbit.
The Royal Thai Marine Corps (RTMC) has signed a contract with Elbit to procure the Israeli company’s 155 mm autonomous truck mounted howitzer system (ATMOS).
The RTMC said in a statement that the contract was signed in late March and features the delivery of six ATMOS systems, which will be built locally by the state-run Weapon Production Centre (WPC).
The contract is valued at USD26 million and provides opportunities for additional units to be procured and built locally if required.
The contract fulfils a long-standing RTMC requirement to augment its existing firepower, which currently includes a mix of ageing Canadian-designed GC-45/GHN-45 155mm howitzers acquired in the 1980s.
