Rheinmetall Secures Contract For Mobile Short-Range Air Defense
Belgium has ordered 20 Skyranger 30 air defense systems from Rheinmetall, as part of its broader Blue Dome air defense program. The systems, valued in the mid-three-digit million-euro range, will provide stationary protection for Belgian territory and critical infrastructure. Deliveries are expected to begin in late 2028. The agreement follows nearly 18 months of discussion and marks a significant expansion of Belgium’s air defense capabilities, as reported by Unknown Source.
