Germany mulls tank deal with Saudi Arabia: report -- Shanghai Daily | 上海日报

The German government has given the green light in principle to sell 30 armoured vehicles worth about 100 million euros (132 million U.S. dollars) to Saudi Arabia, German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported on Sunday.

The newspaper cited government sources saying that Saudi Aradia could eventually purchase up 100 Dingo 2 armoured vehicles.

Boasted by its maker as "the safest and best-protected wheeled vehicle in its class", the tank can carry eight infantry personnel and is equipped with a top-mounted machine gun as standard. The vehicle is also equipped with atomic, biological and chemical protection system.
