Germany has signed a contract with General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) for the supply of 256 Piranha V armored fighting vehicles to support the army’s ground telecommunications enhancement initiative. Valued in the “three-digit-million” euro range, each vehicle will be equipped with a 15-meter Tactical Wide Area Network telescopic tower to serve as a mobile hub for communications and directional radio control. GDELS plans to establish a facility in Neubrandenburg to manage technical support, logistics, and sustainment. The first batch of 58 vehicles is scheduled for delivery in 2026.
