Rheinmetall has booked an important order for infantry fighting vehicle ammunition worth €200 million. Shipment is due to take place in 2023-2025.

The ammunition will be manufactured for an unnamed European country.

Rheinmetall announced this.

“Rheinmetall is the sole single source supplier of newly made 20mm-35mm ammunition for medium-caliber automatic and antiaircraft cannon of the Marder, Gepard, Puma, and similar systems; of 105mm ammunition for the Leopard 1 and 120mm ammunition for the Leopard 2; as well as 155mm artillery shells. Moreover, the Group has the capacity to make large-scale deliveries at short notice,” the statement says.

It was also noted that Rheinmetall is currently building an additional production line for medium-caliber ammunition at its plant in Unterlüß, Lower Saxony, which will allow meeting heightened demand for air defense munitions starting this summer.

As previously reported, the Rheinmetall company will, among others, produce 300,000 ammunition for the Gepard SPAAG, which Ukraine uses.

They plan to supply 150,000 APDS-T armor-piercing discarding sabot and HEI-T high-explosive incendiary projectiles each.

The first APDS-T projectiles should be delivered in the summer of 2023. The transition of production from APDS-T to HEI-T is planned for mid-2024.

In addition, EU member states are currently negotiating to place an order to produce artillery ammunition for Ukraine worth €1 billion.
