Moldova, within the framework of EU assistance, will receive over 100 Roshel Senator armored vehicles tested in Ukraine. The country's arsenal also already includes four Israeli ATMOS 2000 self-propelled artillery systems.
Moldova, as part of military aid from the European Union, will receive over 100 Roshel Senator armored vehicles, which have already proven themselves in the Ukrainian Defense Forces. In addition, the Moldovan army is already armed with at least four Israeli ATMOS 2000 self-propelled artillery systems. This was reported by Defense Express, writes UNN.

According to the publication, the purchase of Senator armored vehicles will be carried out by the Estonian Defense Investment Agency, and funding of about 50 million euros will be provided through the European Peace Facility (EPF). These armored vehicles are actively used by Ukrainian troops and have already been tested in combat conditions.
As Defense Express notes, in recent years Moldova has been carrying out a "point" modernization of its armed forces. In addition to the Senator armored vehicles and ATMOS 2000 self-propelled howitzers, the country has received up to 19 Piranha armored vehicles, Scorpion self-propelled mortars, 44 Polish Piorun man-portable air defense systems, and Victor anti-aircraft guns.

Despite this, the Moldovan army remains one of the weakest in Eastern Europe. It has no tanks of its own, no modern medium- and long-range air defense systems, and no combat aviation.
According to Defense Express, the current pace of rearmament may be insufficient to effectively counter the Russian military contingent in unrecognized Transnistria, whose strength, according to various estimates, ranges from 1,500 to 10,000 servicemen.
