Agaasinka Wax-soo-saarka iyo Soo-iibinta (DOPP) ee Wasaaradda Difaaca ee Israa‘iil, iyagoo kaashanaya Maamulka Taangiyada iyo Gaadiidka Gaashaaman ee APC-yada ee IMoD iyo Agaasinka Tiknoolajiyada iyo Saadka ee IDF, ayaa maanta (Arbaco) ku dhawaaqay saxiixa heshiis muhiim ah oo lala galay Ashot Ashkeloon.
Agaasimaha Guud ee IMoD, Sarreeye Guuto (Kaydka) Eyal Zamir, ayaa saxiixay qandaraaska taas oo qayb ka ah dadaallada ballaaran ee wasaaradda ee lagu xoojinayo awoodaha gaadiidka gaashaaman ee Israa’iil, sida taangiyada Merkava iyo gaadiidka gaashaaman ee APC-yada ee Namer, kuwaas oo muujinayay waxtarkooda intii lagu jiray dagaalkii dhawaa. Heshiiskan ayaa ka mid ah dhowr tallaabo oo istiraatiiji ah oo ay qaadday IMoD si loo xaqiijiyo in baahiyaha hawlgalka ee IDF si joogto ah loo buuxiyo, hadda iyo mustaqbalkaba.
Sida ku cad shuruudaha heshiiska, Ashot Ashkeloon waxay soo saari doontaa oo ay bixin doontaa qaybo muhiim ah oo loogu talagalay taangiyada Merkava iyo gaadiidka gaashaaman ee Namer, oo ay ku jiraan gear-box-yada (transmissions) 1,200 iyo 1,500 horsepower ah, hababka joojinta gariirka (suspensions), iyo nidaamyada kaxaynta (drive systems), oo wadartoodu ku kacayso in ka badan $23 milyan (86.4 milyan oo NIS). Heshiiska waxa kale oo ka mid ah soo iibinta qaybo dayactir ah iyo dib-u-soo-celinta nidaamyo horumarsan, kuwaas oo loo gaarsiin doono IDF labada sano ee soo socota gudaheeda.
Ashot Ashkeloon, oo ah warshad ku takhasustay soo saarista nidaamyada kaxaynta ee adag, gear-box-yada (transmissions), iyo qaybo kale oo u gaar ah gaadiidka gaashaaman, ayaa ah alaab-qeybiye muhiim u ah barnaamijyada gaadiidka gaashaaman ee IDF, iyada oo hubinaysa diyaargarowga hawlgalka iyo cimriga dheer ee nidaamyadan difaaca ee muhiimka ah.
