RDM set to be part of record €8.5 billion ammunition order from Germany Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) is looking to benefit from a record framework agreement for 155 mm artillery ammunition from the German military after the group received a contract that could be worth up to €8.5 billion. The contract – the largest in Rheinmetall history – was signed on 20 June by Annette Lehnigk-Emden, President of the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), and representatives of Rheinmetall in Koblenz at the office’s headquarters in Germany. The main purpose of the order is to replenish the stocks held by the Bundeswehr and its allies, as well as to provide support to the Ukraine in its defence campaign, Rheinmetall said in a statement. Deliveries are to begin at the start of 2025. The primary purchaser will be the Federal Republic of Germany, which will provide part of the supplies to Ukraine. Additionally, the partner countries of the Netherlands, Estonia and Denmark are also participating in the order. At the same time, an initial call-off from the framework contract was contracted to ensure the capacity utilisation of the new factory being built in Unterluess (Lower Saxony) in Germany during the start-up phase. This order also comprises the delivery of 155 mm calibre projectiles in different versions with a gross order value of around €880 million. Deliveries are also scheduled to begin in 2025. Further increased call-offs are also expected in the coming years. From 2025, Rheinmetall plans to produce up to 700 000 artillery shells and 10 000 tonnes of powder at its sites in Germany, Spain, South Africa, Australia and Hungary. When asked for clarification on RDM’s participation in these big new orders, a Rheinmetall spokesman said the group “will review internal capacities at all global locations. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide any further details.” RDM is heavily involved in various contracts secured by its German parent, including a €848 million multi-year contract for the supply of various types of ammunition to the Hungarian armed forces and a €192 million contract for the delivery of an explosives factory in the same country. Rheinmetall Denel Munition is running 24-hour-a-day shifts at its plants across South Africa and is investing hundreds of millions of rands in their expansion in order to keep up with the massive global demand for artillery ammunition. It is increasing capacity from 100 000 to 150 000 shells a year. RDM has received tens of millions of euros worth of orders over the last year, mainly for 155 mm and 40 mm ammunition – one Asian customer recently ordered 400 000 rounds of 40 mm ammunition. Speaking about the massive new contract from the German military, Armin Papperger, Chairman of the Executive Board of Rheinmetall AG, said: “We are delighted about the largest order in our company’s recent history. This large-volume framework contract underlines Rheinmetall’s leading role as an ammunition supplier in Germany and our position as the world’s largest manufacturer of artillery ammunition. We highly appreciate the great trust that is expressed in this long-term order as part of the security provision of the Federal Republic of Germany and its allies.” “The Federal Government is keeping its word. This framework contract will ensure the necessary capacity utilisation of the new factory that we are building at our Unterluess site in Lower Saxony to supply our armed forces with ammunition. The Federal Chancellor assured us of this during his visit on the occasion of the ground-breaking ceremony on 12 February 2024,” Papperger continued. Rheinmetall will produce the entire value chain for artillery ammunition in Unterluess, Lower Saxony, in order to be able to offer the “full shot” by a single source: the projectile, the fuse, the explosive charge and the propellant charge that propels the projectile out of the barrel when fired. An annual capacity of 100 000 projectiles will be achieved on site from the second year of production, increasing up to 200 000 per year. Rheinmetall noted that experience from the war in the Ukraine shows the immense demand for artillery ammunition. The production capacity available in the western world is not designed for these quantities. Germany – like other countries – is therefore planning to procure large quantities over a longer period of time. The ammunition family offered by Rheinmetall in the artillery sector includes the DM121 explosive projectile, the DM125 smoke projectile and the DM702 SMArt search fuse ammunition (a production with Diehl Defence) as well as the RH68 training projectile and the RH1901 and RH1902 range-optimised smoke projectiles. The portfolio also includes the versatile 155 mm Assegai artillery ammunition family from Rheinmetall Denel Munition: insensitive ammunition (IM), conventional explosive projectiles (High Explosive/HE) as well as smoke, illumination, infrared illumination and other projectiles. The entire Assegai ammunition spectrum can be used at ranges of around 40 kilometres. 1 Like

NAF AND US GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HOLD FIRST PROGRAM MANAGEMENT REVIEW ON AH-1Z ATTACK HELICOPTERS ……delivery dates on track. The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has been assured that the delivery dates for the AH-1Z attack helicopters purchased by the Federal Government remains on track. The assurance came when the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Sayo Olatunde met with officials of the United States Government and Bell Textron Company in the first Program Management Review (PMR) meeting to discuss progress made so far on the supply of the AH-1Z attack helicopters to the NAF. The 5-day meeting, which began earlier today 16 July 2024 at NAF Headquarters, majorly aims at reviewing the progress made so far regarding the manufacture of the aircraft, ensuring a smooth transition as well as provide technical guidance to the NAF. This collaboration demonstrates the assurance and strong partnership between Nigeria and the US in enhancing the country's air power capabilities. Speaking during the meeting, Air Vice Marshal Olatunde noted that the PMR meeting underscores the impending delivery of the AH-1Z attack helicopters to boost NAF’s close air support and ground attack capabilities while also enhancing its modernization efforts. He also stated that the AH-1Z Helicopters, when inducted into NAF Order of Battle, will surely bolster its firepower and operational capabilities, particularly in counterterrorism and counter insurgency operations. Speaking earlier, the US Government AH-1Z Program Management Office team leader, Mr Kevin Stone, noted that the collaboration between the NAF and the US military was a testament to their shared commitment to regional stability, peace and security, adding that the successful implementation of PMR is expected to have a significant impact on Nigeria's ability to tackle security challenges and ensure the safety of its citizens. A major area of discourse was the follow-up sustainment case, which is aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and reduces downtime through comprehensive support services.

jl115: Did you see his Close protection Details from last night? Not everything should be seen through the prism of men versus women or Gender based requirements. A woman can never make a better law enforcement officer than a man, especially in roles that are hands on and require split second decision making. I'm sure women excel in Analytics and intelligence roles, but combat roles won't be one of them. 2 Likes |

Before Trump was shot, they didn’t know anything about close protection. After Trump was shot, in a matter of minutes, they know everything about close protection including who is wrong and right. All the knowledge proudly gained from random idiots on Twitter who have no experience. I follow a lot of professional close protection companies on YouTube and IG. Many are doing technical review and analysis of the videos currently. Go and watch professional people talk and stop posting nonsense right wing rhetoric here and thinking that you’re making sense. Imagine someone who supposedly knows about close protection is thinking that large body size is a criteria. As if we’re recruiting club bouncers. An ordinary 9mm at reasonable range will leave an exit wound hitting anyone who directly is behind the first body mass. 1 Like |

Faithful007: You sound uneducated and hopelessly uninformed. This is a military and defence thread, there have been multiple pictures and discussions of close protection discussion on this thread. Don't act dumb!! The simple fact that the multiple women were replaced with tall men as fast as yesterday is is clear evidence you have no clue what you're talking about. The response to the assassination attempt on Trump is what we're have been discussing. Your constant deviation to what could have been done to prevent it is irrelevant to this discussion. Understand this and the point most knowledgeable people are talking about, the fact is the women in Trump's protection detail were mostly clueless. Yes, close protection requires individuals that are tall and fit, to provide adequate protection to their principals. Nobody is talking about bodybuilder or muscular people, jeez!!! You sound like a nincompoop!! In the event that he was seriously wounded and lost mobility, how many of those clueless women could have carried him off ? Secret Service agents docking from shots!

kabe1: Lol look at who is calling me uninformed. Like T.F. do you know about US armed services and federal law enforcement? Who are you to argue with me over knowledge I built over decades? Now listen, so you don’t keep going off on what you don’t know. There are no specific set of of agents attached to protected. Agents are rotated very often. Secondly as a protectee you can ask the secret service for specific requirements whether male or female agents, depending on the circumstances. Thirdly (which is the case here), all agents on the field that day are participating in the investigation. Both the male and the female ones. Mind you that females are not a common sight in the secret service so it’s not rare to see them all male. Besides, Trump might have requested an all male team for sentimental reasons. USSS will never drop anybody without an investigation. Internet rhetoric by your likes is crap. I showed you videos (Which obviously you didn’t watch) of trained former agents and a former marine making analysis and praising the actions of the close protection, but I honestly must believe a random guy idiot like you knows better. You must think CP will allow Trump to stand if the Counter Sniper Team did not give the report that threat was neutralized? You think you can asses the actions of trained personnel from random videos. Ordinarily common sense should tell you that action pictures may confuse detail. The CP team were bending to access his health condition and wait for instructions from CS & CT and Extraction. You don’t know that cause you don’t know anything about Close protection. You have no training on close protection yet you are bodily appraising people with training. You must be right while all of the former agents are wrong. Respectfully just shut the f**k up on stuff you don’t know. 1 Like 1 Share |
