For the first time, projectiles from the new ‘Werk Niedersachsen’ (Lower-Saxony plant) are being delivered to the Ukrainian armed forces. The RH1412 projectiles are the latest product in Rheinmetall’s artillery portfolio. They can be fired from various 155 mm weapon systems and offer a long range and high effectiveness. This order highlights Rheinmetall’s high level of expertise in artillery systems.
In order to meet the growing demand for modern 155mm projectiles and propellant charges, Rheinmetall continues to invest heavily in expanding the capacity of existing facilities and establishing new production sites. Rheinmetall is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of large-calibre ammunition. Since 2022, the Düsseldorf-based technology group has been increasing its production capacity and aims at producing around 1.5 million 155 mm artillery projectiles annually by 2030.
