The Greek company EODH will participate in the manufacture of the armor for Norway’s new Leopard 2A7 tanks. The agreement was signed today, Tuesday, May 9, 2023, in the context of the DEFEA 2023 international defence exhibition in Athens, in the presence of the Minister of National Defence, Mr. Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos.
