Rheinmetall will provide Ukraine with Skyranger mobile air defense systems designed to counter drones under a contract worth “hundreds of millions of euros,” CEO Armin Papperger told German broadcaster ZDF on Sept. 8.
The system, which could be mounted on Leopard tanks, can secure a 4-by-4 kilometer area (2.5 by 2.5 miles), providing full protection against drone threats, the head of the German defense industry giant said.
The contract, set to be signed in London on Sept. 10, will see the first units delivered to Ukraine by the end of the year.
