Weapons from Israel Are Entering the European Market

(Defense Express-Ukraine) The Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands is seeking reactive artillery to provide fire support at short, medium and long distances. It reported that "compared to the American HIMARS system, [the Israeli PULS artillery system] can carry more missiles. It is also possible to buy more missiles on the budget and they will be available earlier. In addition, in the future, PULS will be suitable for ammunition of European manufacturers." The Israeli system can carry 16 high-precision 122-mm missiles with a range of up to 35 km and up to two Predator Hawk missiles with a range of up to 300 km. "This year, the army will get access to the Israeli PULS system. As a result, the [Netherlands] Ministry of Defense has its own rocket artillery for the first time in many years." Denmark previously concluded a contract for the purchase of this system. Germany plans to create a new European next-generation missile system called Euro-PULS, based on the Israeli PULS system.
