MELBOURNE – Malaysia has become the latest customer for the Caesar self-propelled howitzer, manufacturer KNDS announced today.
The company made the announcement at Eurosatory, making the Southeast Asian nation the 15th customer for the Caesar.
Malaysia will be acquiring 18 units of the wheeled 155mm howitzer, with the Franco-German KNDS working alongside local industrial partner Advanced Defense System (ADS) to deliver the vehicles.
“We are particularly proud to support the Malaysian Army through the delivery of world-class artillery systems that meet the highest operational standards. This new milestone in KNDS’s history in Malaysia reflects our determination to support our partners over the long term in developing their defence capabilities and to meet their expectations in terms of industrial localization,” said Nicolas Groult, Chief Executive Officer of KNDS France.
