BERLIN, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Germany's parliament will on Dec. 14 approve a 1.35 billion euro purchase of 20,000 encrypted radios for its military, a person familiar with the matter said, with an option to buy another 14,000 radios for 1.5 billion euros.

The acquisition of the radios from German company Rohde & Schwarz is part of the modernisation of the military's command and control system, and will be one of the first major deals for which a 100 billion euro special fund set up after Russia's invasion of Ukraine will be tapped.
