Appeal lodged against Spanish IFV turret contract

Israeli-owned Pap Tecnos has launched an appeal against Spain's decision to award the 30 mm turret contract for its new 8×8 Dragón infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) to Spanish company Escribano Mechanical & Engineering.
In a document presented to the Spanish Ministry of Defence (MoD) Pap Tecnos, a Spanish subsidiary of Rafael, claims the rival bid did not meet the requirements laid down in the contract.
