Saudi Arabia Buys Canadian

General Dynamics Land Systems Canada (GDLS-C) has won a major contract to supply vehicles to Saudi Arabia, Canadian International Trade Minister Ed Fast announced on 14 February.

Fast's office released a statement describing the deal as "a historic multibillion dollar contract win for vehicles and associated equipment, training and support services" and said it would last for 14 years.

GDLS-C makes the Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) family, including the US Army's Stryker, and has already supplied over 1,600 LAV variants to the Saudi Arabia National Guard (SANG) since 1992.
