Israeli military giant Elbit won a $200 million contract to supply advanced artillery and command and control systems used in offensive operations to an "undisclosed" European country, the company said on Tuesday in a statement.

Elbit Systems said the artillery contract will provide C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence) capabilities to four battalions of 155mm howitzers and a Hostile Fire Counter Attack (HFCA) system.

The C4l solutions, mainly the E-Lynx and TORCH-X Fire applications, "will provide advanced C4I capabilities to four battalions of 155mm howitzers," artillery units, and armed forces, the military tech firm said.

Moreover, the C4I systems will allow the secret client to "effectively command its artillery battalions and increase the operational effectiveness of its weapon systems," while the HFCA solution "will allow the customer to detect enemy fire source" and target them with high precision.

According to the company, the contract will be executed until 2026 with options for further extensions.

"Elbit systems' solutions increase operational effectiveness and allow our customers to better utilize their fire power, while increasing their accuracy and lethality."

While the awarded country remains undisclosed, some signs say the end client could be Kiev. 

The Israeli entity has been cautious not to provide military assistance to Ukraine, fearing that doing so would aggravate tensions with Russia and jeopardize "Israeli security interests" in Syria, yet it does not prohibit private arms producers from selling weapons to Ukraine or a third party with the intention of sending them to the country.

However, numerous reports by Israeli and Western media suggested that "Tel Aviv" is covertly providing military hardware to the Eastern European country, either directly or through third-party countries in Europe.

Last year, Israeli media revealed that a local arms manufacturer supplied Kiev with anti-UAV systems via Poland.

In late January, Israeli occupation ambassador to Berlin, Ron Prosor, said "Israel" is secretly assisting Ukraine, German media reported then. "We help - albeit behind the scenes - and much more than is known," he said.

Just a month later, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that the entity is considering the possibility of sending weapons to Ukraine, including the Iron Dome anti-air system.

The advanced US-Israeli-produced air defense batteries were delivered to Ukraine a few months later, allegedly supplied by Washington, while according to the agreement between the United States and the entity, sending the system to a third party requires unanimous approval.

"Israel's" support of Ukraine resulted in soaring tensions between "Tel Aviv" and Moscow, prompting the latter to close the "Jewish Agency for Israel's" work in Russia and publicly warning the entity of retaliatory actions if the assistance continues.

On the other hand, in addition to military hardware supplies, which were detected on the battlefield in Ukraine based on emerging footage, the entity was also providing Kiev with cash assistance.

A Russian intelligence source told Al Mayadeen in December 2022 that the Israeli occupation is donating money to buy Ukraine weapons from third-party countries.

He added that "Israel" is making payments through third countries to conceal its support.
