In June, as over 32 Mowag Piranha IIIH APCs, plus LTAVs and other soft-skinned vehicles where loaded onto a cargo ship in Cork, bound for overseas service with UNIFIL in South Lebanon, a lesser
known milestone was marked, when the Swiss built armoured personnel carrier (plus variants) reached its tenth year in operation. The Defence Forces now operates 80 Mowags in six versions.
