Details: The order that is worth several hundred million euros is part of a recent military aid package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces worth €400 million. Rheinmetall does not specify the details, but Germany announced a package for such an amount in September.
The supply of ammunition should begin in the near future and will last for the next two years, the concern said.
Quote: "Thanks to its enhanced range, heightened precision and optimum combat effectiveness, Rheinmetall mortar ammunition can assure favourable outcomes even during operations in difficult terrain and urban environments."
Background:
- In October, Rheinmetall announced another order from the German Armed Forces for the supply of more than 150,000 artillery shells intended for Ukraine.
- It was also announced that the joint venture of Rheinmetall and Ukraine’s state-owned Ukrainian Defence Industry (formerly Ukroboronprom) company was officially registered.
