In July 2023, the Bundeswehr extended an existing framework contract with Rheinmetall for the supply of tank ammunition, increasing the total value to around €4 billion. Until the end of 2030, the framework contract allows the procurement of several hundred thousand combat and training cartridges of various types in 120 mm x 570 calibre, such as those fired by the main weapon of the Leopard 2 battle tank.
The order underscores Rheinmetall’s role as a major supplier to the Bundeswehr in the field of 120 mm tank ammunition. It reflects the armed forces’ efforts to replenish their stocks and increase their ammunition stocks considering the current security situation. Rheinmetall is the leading supplier of ammunition in this calibre to many countries that use the Leopard battle tank and its 120 mm smoothbore gun.
