The company included the system in a list of equipment it said it was supplying to Kyiv at the end of a press release published on 27 June announcing that the Netherlands has ordered 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks that it and Denmark are procuring for Ukraine.

Janes
that Ukraine was the customer, citing contractual reasons.
