This contract comes after the framework of the Italy-Slovenia Government-to-Government (G2G) Agreement was signed by the Italian Minister of Defence Lorenzo Guerini, and the Slovenian Minister of Defence Matej Tonin on 17 November 2021.

This framework is intended at boosting the bilateral collaboration between the two nations.

Leonardo general manager Lucio Valerio Cioffi said: “We welcome the completion of the contractual phase of the G2G initiative between Italy and Slovenia with this latest step. The C-27J Spartan is the most effective solution to meet the stringent requirement set by the collaboration between the two governments.”

As C-27J Spartan can be deployed in challenging geographic, environmental and operating conditions, it can carry out a range of defence and civil protection missions.
