This new order once again underlines Rheinmetall’s leading technological position in the development and production of highly efficient ammunition for air defence in Europe.
Skynex is based on cannon-based air defence and is therefore particularly suitable for close-range protection where guided weapons cannot be effective. Furthermore, the use of programmable 35mm AHEAD ammunition, as developed by Rheinmetall for this purpose, is considerably cheaper than comparable guided missile-based systems. In addition, it is not possible to influence or even deflect the 35mm ammunition by electronic countermeasures after firing.
