For these purposes, through official letter No.2023434002661183 MDN-COGFM-COEJC-SECEJ-JEMGF-COADE-DICEX-15.16 of February 13, the Directorate of Foreign Trade has issued concepts in relation to levies (0%) for importation.
In this sense, the institution has begun to investigate in the international market current prices and conditions of sale of this type of weapons, as well as the availability of delivery in the short term (four months), of which this would be the first batch to be acquired.
The Army would then seek to incorporate up to 84 units of this type of machine gun, remembering that this force has been standardizing the use of the FN Herstal Minimi 5.56×45 mm machine gun (in different versions), widely used and tested in various operational theaters and live-fire missions.
