$8.6 bn has been passed so far, looking for the expected additional next week

 

[TheInsider]

Next year's target is 11 bn. IMHO, passing 10 bn is important we can now safely say that our defense industry sector is mostly self-sufficient.

 

[Sanchez]

Next year's target is 11 bn

Last 3 year's target was 10B. We are yet to reach it.
