TAG has partnered with Grey Raven Group (GRG) for equipment analysis and product management support as part of this operation. GRG is known for its expertise in collaborating with various defense manufacturers, particularly in filling operational gaps in military capabilities. The cooperation between TAG and GRG illustrates the mobilization of the best skills to ensure optimal operational capability for the end user.
Beau Gailey, Executive Vice President of TAG and a combat veteran, stated that "nothing is more satisfying than seeing a team come together for a common mission." He added that these vehicles would provide a critical capability to the armed forces of the recipient country, allowing them to protect the right to determine their future.
This contract comes against a backdrop of rising tensions in Eastern Europe, exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The Ukrainian authorities, under the leadership of President Volodymyr Zelensky, have called on allied countries and the defense industry to obtain powerful military equipment to defend the national territory against Russian aggression.
Other countries in the region, such as Poland, are also preparing for a possible expansion of the conflict, being ready to strengthen their defense capabilities if the situation requires.
