The Rheinmetall defense company received another order from the German government to supply about 100,000 artillery mines for Ukraine, Rubryka reports.
"The order, worth a figure in the lower-three-digit million-euro range, forms part of a recent €400 million military aid package for the Ukrainian armed forces," the Rheinmetall statement said.
Deliveries should begin soon and continue for the next two years.
Thanks to the recent acquisition of Spanish ammunition manufacturer Expal, Rheinmetall further strengthened its already extensive experience in the field of infantry fire support.
"The Group's product range encompasses a complete array of 120mm, 81mm, and 60mm mortar ammunition. Augmenting these are fire control systems and mortar weapon systems like the 120mm Ragnarök and the innovative RSG60, a 60mm mortar system," Rheinmetall said.
The company also reported that its mortar ammunition can provide favorable results even during difficult terrain and urban conditions due to increased range, accuracy, and optimal combat effectiveness.
Rubryka previously reported that the German defense producer Rheinmetall and the "Ukrainian Defense Industry" officially announced a joint venture, LLC "Rheinmetall–Ukrainian Defense Industry."
What we know about the joint venture with Germany
The Federal Antimonopoly Office of Germany allowed Rheinmetall to create a joint venture with Ukraine in late September. It was reported that the company will be based in Kyiv.
Rubryka previously reported that the Rheinmetall was negotiating the construction of a tank plant in Ukraine.
Rheinmetall said that the Kremlin's threats to intensify the bombing of Ukraine would not affect the German arms company's intentions to build a tank plant in Ukraine.
Rheinmetall and Ukroboronprom agreed to create a joint venture for tank repair in Ukraine.
Rheinmetall is actively helping Ukraine in the war against Russia by supplying ammunition and various equipment. In particular, the company recently received a new order for artillery shells for Ukraine.
