Peru investigates the market alternatives to renew its fleet of 8×8 armored vehicles
Although the Ministry of Defense has given the green light to a new international survey, it has not enabled a budget to carry it out
The Ministry of Defense has approved the start of activities to carry out a survey of the international market to evaluate the alternatives offered by the defense industry in terms of 8×8 armored vehicles for the benefit of the Peruvian Army.
To date, there is no official announcement about the possible purchase of armored vehicles and, in fact, unofficial information collected by Infodefensa.com indicates that, although the start of a new market survey has been approved, no budgetary resource has been transferred to carry it out.
A first purchase of just over 30 armored vehicles for the Peruvian Army is in process, at least administratively, without an official announcement that would make the efforts regarding military modernization transparent.
