The Minister of Defense, Ejup Maqedonci, has announced that today Kosovo has received the next shipment of OMTAS anti-tank missile systems.
This system was contracted with the Turkish state-owned arms manufacturer, Roketsan, writes IndeksOnline.
According to Maqedonci, these systems are part of the contract signed in December 2023 and represent an important step in strengthening the defense capacities of the Kosovo Security Force.
OMTAS (Orta Menzilli Tanksavar Silah) is a modern medium-range anti-tank missile system designed to neutralize modern armored vehicles, including tanks equipped with reactive protection, as well as fortified military targets.
“Increasing the variety and quantity of anti-tank missile systems for our army aims to cover different operating distances, terrains and threat scenarios, increasing operational flexibility,” the Macedonian statement said.
