Rheinmetall Wins Order for Mortar Ammunition for Ukraine

  • Rheinmetall awarded order to supply Ukraine with around 100,000 rounds of mortar ammunition
  • Order worth a figure in the lower-three-digit million-euro range
  • Delivery expected to start soon

Rheinmetall has received an order from the German government to supply Ukraine with around 100,000 rounds of 120mm mortar ammunition. 
The order, worth a figure in the lower-three-digit million-euro range, forms part of a recent €400 million military aid package for the Ukrainian armed forces. Delivery is due to begin shortly and extend over the next two years.
With its recent takeover of Spanish ammunition maker Expal, Rheinmetall has further reinforced its already extensive expertise in the field of infantry fire support. 

The Group’s product range encompasses a complete array of 120mm, 81mm and 60mm mortar ammunition. Augmenting these are fire control systems and mortar weapon systems like the 120mm Ragnarök and the innovative RSG60, a 60mm mortar system.
Thanks to its enhanced range, heightened precision and optimum combat effectiveness, Rheinmetall mortar ammunition can assure favourable outcomes even during operations in difficult terrain and urban environments.

Urgent New Piece of Reporting

 

Inside the Israeli Crackdown on Speech

Since the October 7th attack, Palestinians and peace activists in Israel have increasingly been targeted by employers, universities, government authorities, and right-wing mobs.

In an urgent new piece of reporting, Masha Gessen explores the many ways in which civilian life in Israel has been frozen in place during the past month. 
  • Universities have postponed the start of classes; courts are hearing fewer cases. 
  • But perhaps the greatest example of the society-wide chilling has come in the form of a lockdown on free speech and expression that has targeted Palestinian and Israeli citizens voicing dissenting views on the war with Hamas. 
This has come in the form of arrests, interrogations, job losses and suspensions, and public doxings that have led to violence. 
Israeli peace activists, Gessen writes, have been “targeted by right-wing mobs with what appears to be the tacit approval of the government.” 
Palestinians, meanwhile, “experience the full force of the government’s repressive apparatus.” As a lawyer currently representing dozens of Israeli Arabs who have lost their jobs or been suspended from universities argues, “The general public alleges that it is hurt, and they don’t want anyone to express other feelings.”
