Spanish Army Signs €205M Deal with Rheinmetall for Artillery Ammunition
The procurement is part of the Spanish Army's effort to replenish its ammunition stocks amid the Russian attack on Ukraine.
The Spanish Army has signed a framework agreement with Rheinmetall to supply approximately half a million modular propellant systems for 155mm extended-range artillery ammunition.
The deal, worth up to €205 million, is scheduled for delivery between mid-2024 and the end of 2025.
The order, booked in July 2024, includes an extension option for an additional two years, which could significantly increase its value. The procurement is part of the Spanish Army's efforts to replenish its ammunition stocks amid the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine.
Rheinmetall will supply propellant charge systems for the M109 and SIAC 155mm calibre howitzers. This is one of several orders placed by the Spanish Army this year, including a €200 million deal for 155mm artillery ammunition and a high double-digit million euro order for mortar shells.
