Asked
about the current needs of the Albanian Navy in armament
and equipments Admiral Kudret Cela said: “Right now
we need and light armament for our soldiers on boats and
small caliber ammunition for our fast cost guard vehicles.
But we are also interested in ammunition for large ships,
as right now we are building 3 new “ILIRIA”
ships based on older Dutch project, in our base in Pash
Aliman in Vlora. But we also need new communication equipment
and other elements for providing secure and efficient Navy
ships. ”
Capitan Lieutenant Alfred Velaj says: “Our ships are
a 2010 product, but our ammunitions date from 1960’s
Russian production. It is very important for us to modernize
such system.”
