Ireland Buys $1B French CAESAR Artillery and SCORPION Vehicles

This Defense Web TV short takes you inside Ireland’s landmark $1 billion modernization plan to acquire French-made SCORPION combat vehicles and CAESAR self-propelled howitzers, marking a decisive shift in the Irish Defence Forces’ combat capability. The program significantly strengthens Ireland’s armored mobility, firepower, and indirect fire support, transforming the country’s land forces from lightly equipped units into a more deployable, NATO-interoperable force structure.

The video highlights how the introduction of SCORPION family armored vehicles will enhance protected mobility, digital battlefield networking, and troop survivability, while the CAESAR 155mm self-propelled artillery system delivers long-range precision strike capability far beyond Ireland’s current indirect fire capacity. Mounted on a high-mobility truck chassis and capable of rapid shoot-and-scoot operations, CAESAR provides extended-range fire support designed for modern high-intensity conflict scenarios and multinational operations.

🎥 Watch this short for a fast, focused look at how Ireland is upgrading its land forces with advanced French armored and artillery systems, boosting deterrence, operational flexibility, and European defense integration.
