The German company Rheinmetall has received another order for the supply of several tens of thousands of shells of various types for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2025, the company said, according to UNN.
Details
According to the company, the Bundeswehr has requested artillery ammunition from Rheinmetall under a framework contract in 2025. The value of the contract was not disclosed, but is "in the triple digits in millions of euros".
It is noted that in July 2023, Rheinmetall signed a new framework agreement with the Bundeswehr in the artillery sector, which includes the supply of several hundred thousand shells, detonators and projectile charges.
The framework agreement runs until 2029 and has a potential gross order value of around EUR 1.2 billion.
The company emphasized that the need to replenish the Armed Forces' ammunition depots is due to the war in Ukraine.
