“We hope as soon as next year any visitor to a Pyaterochka store will be able to collect orders from any online store as part of their grocery shopping.”

“The flawless delivery record to the navy over the past two decades is a remarkable achievement and a reflection of the dedication and hard work of the Harris EW team.”

To date, the firm has obtained $2bn in awards from the Naval Air Systems Command for the development and production of its AN/ALQ-214 jammer.

Harris noted that continuous modernisation efforts will protect naval aviators from evolving threats.

According to Harris, the contract represents the largest order on the programme so far. Harris is expected to complete deliveries of these jammers by August 2022.

In February last year, the US Department of Defence (DoD) awarded a contract to Harris to manufacture and deliver 86 IDECM AN/ALQ-214 A(V)4/5 on-board jammer systems for the US Navy and Australian F/A-18 aircraft.

The company won another DoD contract in March to provide 14 AN/ALQ-214 A(V)4/5 equipment to Kuwait.
