Kyiv and Berlin signed a contract for the supply of 18 German self-propelled artillery installations.
Germany has approved the sale of 18 RCH-155 self-propelled artillery units to Ukraine. However, their delivery is possible no earlier than 2025. The German edition of Welt am Sonntag reported this on Saturday, September 17th.
The contract for the supply of 18 self-propelled artillery installations is worth 216 million euros, media reports.
The heads of the Ukrainian and German ministries of defense – Oleksiy Reznikov and Christine Lambrecht – discussed the contract in July of this year. However, deliveries of the RCH-155 will take place no earlier than 30 months after the end of the contract.
Sources from the Ukrainian side said that Kyiv has raised the issue of acquiring the RCH-155 several times, but in recent weeks Berlin has not given any answer.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk said that the RCH-155 will be an effective contribution to the strengthening of the Ukrainian army.
“I hope the federal government will continue to follow this path,” he said.
It should be noted that Christine Lambrecht previously announced plans to supply Ukraine with another batch of military equipment.
In addition, for the first time since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Germany will transfer armored vehicles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine – 50 Dingo armored vehicles.
