The Spanish government authorizes the acquisition of Israeli defense technology from Elbit Systems with an initial funding of 350 million euros.
Recent developments show the Spanish government backing away from its previous statements and authorizing the acquisition of Israeli defense technology from Elbit Systems.
The procurement involves tactical radio communication systems (SCRT), with initial funding of 350 million euros ($393 million) allocated in the 2025 defense budget. The comprehensive deal includes subsequent phases and additional acquisitions totaling 768 million euros ($862 million).
Sounds like somebody in Israel has dirt on some high ranking politicians in Spain.
either that or spain has to do a balancing act between criticizing fascists/genociders and ensuring that those fascists/genociders don’t foster political violence for spaniards… again.
