Peru imported KAI KT-1 basic trainer aircraft, Type 90B 122mm MLRS system, Mi-171Sh transport helicopters and Mi-35P attack helicopters between 2011 and 2015. It also began remanufacturing and modernisation of five of its Ex-New Zealand SH-2G Super Seasprite helicopters in 2016.
The Peruvian Government also plans to procure multi-role aircraft, submarines, frigates and main battle tanks (MBTs) in the next five years, states the report.
Peru's Ministry of Defence imports the majority of its equipment from foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as its domestic defence industry is still underdeveloped.
The foreign OEMs access the Peruvian market through defence exhibitions and direct commercial sales, but lack of transparency in the procurement process limits their entry into the country’s defence industry.
