According to him, by the end of 2024, the country plans to transfer two more air defence systems, armoured personnel carriers, tanks and ammunition to the Defence Forces.

"This year, we will supply two more anti-aircraft systems, a double-digit number of infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks, and a five- to six-figure amount of artillery ammunition. This is really significant," he added.
