Lahav Secures NIS 600M Contract to Build Training Facility in Sweden
What happened
The Defense Ministry and IDF signed a 15-year agreement worth approximately NIS 600 million with Lahav Systems. The contract mandates the establishment of a dedicated training facility in Sweden for the Artillery Corps, supporting the Ro'em and Lahav rocket launcher systems. The agreement includes providing advanced technological training infrastructure, instruction, maintenance, and logistical support services.

Why it matters
The contract supports Lahav's international expansion, which follows a separate $235 million contract announced in October to supply PULS rocket launchers to an unnamed European country. The Ro'em self-propelled howitzer, which entered operational service in late 2025, offers significant advantages over older artillery systems.
