The Bundeswehr orders hundreds of thousands of 155-mm artillery ammunition from the Rheinmetall company.

The company’s official website reported this.

Due to the depletion of the German army’s stockpile of artillery ammunition, the Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) has signed a contract to purchase artillery ammunition.

The total value of the contract is estimated at €1.3 billion. The order includes not only combat artillery shells but also practice versions.

Set to run until 2029, the new framework contract represents a potential order volume of around €1.2 billion.

The framework agreement on additional production was increased to €246 million.

It is designed for the production of 155-mm DM121 ammunition.

The Bundeswehr currently uses a whole line of artillery shells from Rheinmetall. It includes the high explosive DM121, DM125 smoke/obscurant shells, DM121 SMArt search-fused rounds, and the DM96 practice version.

Militarnyi previously reported that the Bundeswehr placed an order for the purchase of additional 120-mm tank ammunition.

According to the framework agreement, the Bundeswehr will purchase several hundred thousand 120 mm tank ammunition for the guns of the Leopard 2 main battle tank.

The value of the contract is more than €309 million, and the first deliveries are scheduled on the day the contract is signed.

The order includes non-programmable munitions and programmable multi-purpose munitions with three modes of operation (timed detonation, detonation on impact with delay, and no delay).
