Albania is armed with missiles / Government confirms purchase of “Javelin” missiles for the army

The government has confirmed today that it will soon buy “Jevelin” missiles as anti-tank weapons for the Albanian army. The Minister of Defense said today that the order has been placed with the American company “Lockheed Martin”.

The American anti-tank missiles “Javelin” will soon be part of the armament of the Albanian army. The Minister of Defense, Niko Peleshi, confirmed on behalf of the government the armament with the missiles that have destroyed the vast majority of Russian tanks in Ukraine.

“It is in the framework of the modernization of the Armed Forces, the increase of our capacities, the fulfillment of the objectives that Albania has in relation to NATO. The Javelin anti-tank missile system is being manufactured by the American company, the world’s largest military industry Lockheed Martin and we have placed our order there as part of our journey to strengthen the Armed Forces, modernize, increase security and territorial defense of our country . It is not that there is a concrete threat not to create panic, we are a NATO country, we have resolved the issue of national security, we are protected, because we are protected by Article 5 of the NATO treaty, according to which the NATO space is untouchable, but we will of course continue to follow NATO’s pace of strengthening as part of a defensive alliance”, said Minister Peleshi.

In addition to this system, according to the Minister of Defense, there will be other purchases or donations from Albania’s strategic partner, the US or other NATO partners. He said that strengthening NATO means discouraging other often less positive powers and our rivals of political values, discouraging them from trying to turn the politics of past centuries, sharing maps or law which makes the largest compared to the smallest.
