MADRID, Jan. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, General Dynamics European Land Systems signed a contract to deliver up to 227 PIRANHA 5 wheeled armored vehicles in six different configurations to the Romanian Armed Forces. The contract has a total value exceeding $1 billion. It is part of the Romanian Army's plan to modernize its legacy wheeled armored vehicle fleet.
