On 18 February the Moldovan National Army's Military Camp 142 received a batch of 29 Humvee vehicles donated by the US government, the Moldovan Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced later the same day. The ministry said the vehicles were produced in 2024 and delivered to the Moldovan National Army in January under an USD8.9 million donation through the US Foreign Military Financing programme.
The Humvees will equip the Fulger (Lightning) Special Forces Battalion in order to increase interoperability with other armies in training and exercises, according to the Moldovan MoD.
The US has donated USD90 million to modernise the Moldovan National Army over the last five years.
Meanwhile, the Swedish government proposed on 30 January to donate AT4 anti-tank weapons to Moldova, the Swedish MoD and Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on their websites on 7 February after a visit by Moldovan Minister of Defense Anatolie Nosatîi to Sweden three days before.
