Contract Signed to Purchase the Skorpion2 Mine-laying System

On Wednesday, October 22, Michael Humbek, Managing Director of Dynamit Nobel Defence, the Latvian Ministry of Defense, and the National Center for Defense Logistics signed the contract for the delivery of the Skorpion 2 mine-laying system.

“The purchase of the mine-laying system is a strategic step toward strengthening our country’s defense capabilities. It is an essential part of a broader plan to strengthen the security and defense of Latvia’s eastern border. These investments ensure that Latvia is prepared to defend its territory and population against any type of threat,” emphasizes Defense Minister Andris Spruds.

The agreement covers the delivery of the Skoprion 2 mine-laying system, its ammunition, AT2+ anti-tank mines, and other system-related equipment. In addition, training for personnel to work with the systems is included.

The contract is intended to underscore Latvia’s commitment to actively involving local industry, thereby making an important contribution to strengthening security of supply and promoting regional value creation. At the same time, the conclusion of the contract opens up the possibility for other countries to join the project and conclude their own supply contracts with our company.

Finally, the contract provides a solid basis for further deepening the successful cooperation through additional agreements and expanding strategic partnerships.
