According to the Defense Ministry of Kosovo, the U.S. has delivered at least five M1117 Armored Security Vehicles. The armored vehicles were transferred last week, but this was reported only now. Kosovo Defense Minister Armen Mehaj examined the supplied armored personnel carriers at the Skenderbeu military base.
Kosovo does not disclose information on the number and timing of the delivery of armored vehicles, apparently by order of Washington. At least five M1117 ASVs were delivered. The Kosovo Defense Minister personally stated that the equipment was donated free of charge and this is not the last delivery. According to the Albanian news agency Telegrafi, the Kosovo army intends to purchase additional weapons from the United States as part of the American program for military sales abroad, hence $ 5.3 million has been allocated for the implementation of three new projects.
