The Land Rover Defender SUVs are being armored for delivery to Iraq over the next 6 weeks. "These vehicles join the other armored vehicles that we have already delivered to Iraq," said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech Chairman and CEO. "It is clear that those serving and working in Iraq continue to need armored protection, and we are working diligently and proudly to serve them."
