Rheinmetall says Spain placed another order for mortar rounds

The major German weapons manufacturer Rheinmetall announced that the Spanish government has placed another order for mortar rounds, this one valued in the higher double-digit-million euro range.

Rheinmetall is to supply the Spanish army with a total of 104,000 mortar rounds in 60mm, 81mm and 120mm calibres by the end of 2025. The mortar rounds ordered will be used by the Spanish army's infantry units.

The company was recently awarded a contract to supply the Spanish army with 155mm artillery ammunition worth over €200 million ($216 million).
