between Manila and Washington, there is still good news for the Armed Forces of
the Philippines.
As reported in the Philippine News Agency, Turkey will
export an armored amphibious combat earthmover called the “Kunduz” to the
Philippines next year (2021).
The sale agreement was signed between the Turkish defense

"They [also] need similar products. In this process, we may sign
new contracts," he added.
The export to the Philippines is said to be the first for the product.
Kunduz is an amphibious, armored,
tracked, combat earthmover designed for the preparation of river banks during
river-crossing missions.
It is capable of doing bulldozing, rough grading, excavating, hauling,
and scraping, according to the company.
The acquisition of the Kunduz is said to be part of the Philippine
Army's Combat Engineering Equipment Lot 2 - Armored Combat Engineer Earthmover
Acquisition Project, which is a Horizon 2 phase Priority Project of the Revised
Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program (RAFPMP).
