Contract worth several hundred million euros: Rheinmetall is supplying four Skynex systems to an international customer
(PresseBox) - Rheinmetall has secured a major international order for its advanced Skynex air defence systems, marking a significant milestone for the technology.
The contract, booked in the second quarter of 2026, represents a value in the region of several hundred million euros. This order is a first-time contract with this international customer. At the same time, this contract enables the company to expand its customer base for this state-of-the-art air defence system.
The overall scope of the contract encompasses the delivery of four complete Skynex systems, with a total execution timeline of 39 months. Delivery of the first Skynex battery is scheduled to take place 21 months from the contract signature. The subsequent batteries will follow sequentially, with each delivery occurring six months after the completion of the previous one.
Key Components of the Agreement
The contract includes trucks, ammunition, and a comprehensive Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) package. The ILS package, fully included in the total contract value, ensures operational readiness through specialized training, spare parts, special tools, and consumables provisions.
Rheinmetall Italia is acting as the prime contractor for this project. Several key subsidiaries within the Rheinmetall Group are actively involved to deliver the systems: Rheinmetall Air Defence, Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles, Rheinmetall Weapon and Munitions (Switzerland).
Advanced Very Short-Range Air Defence
The Skynex Air Defence System is a state-of-the-art, gun-based solution designed for very short-range defence. It is highly capable of countering a wide array of modern threats, including Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) and Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) missions. This success underscores Rheinmetall s leading role in next-generation short-range air defence technology.
