Under Himars analog: RheinMetall will make "mysterious" missiles that beat up to 300 km

According to journalists, the Spanish branch of the Concern received a contract for 300 million euros for the creation of new missiles. They should be produced by 2027. The RheinMetall Expal Munitions have concluded a contract of 300 million euros to create rockets capable of flying up to 300 kilometers for SIILAM missile systems designed for the Spanish Armed Forces. About it writes the portal Infodefensa.

All this arsenal of rockets should be manufactured at factories in Spain in the period from 2024 to 2027, and the total cost of the contract includes not only the production of missiles, but also the provision of additional services and other systems. It is noted that this context is not only indicated by the number of missiles that RheinMetall Expal Munitions should be made in the coming years, but also does not reveal the type of rocket with a firing range up to 300 kilometers.

The source states that one of the leading armed companies in Europe (or more precisely, its branch in Spain) has concluded a contract for the establishment of production of long -range missiles similar to HIMARS, and in our country such weapons would be extremely important. Additionally, it can be clarified that the Silam missile system, designed for the Spanish army, is a localized version of the PULS missile system of Israeli development.

There was no information from open sources that any types of winged land base missiles were integrated into the PULS system. Therefore, it can be assumed that in this case, RheinMetall Expal Munitions offers the most long -range jet shells with a distance of starting up to 300 kilometers. The contract for the production and supply of SILAM missile systems for Spain was concluded in December 2023.

The cost of the agreement was 700 million euros, its conditions are provided by the manufacture and supply by 2025, including 12 starting installations, 12 transport and charging machines, two evacuation and six-exploration machines, 10 command-staffing machines for shooting. In addition, the contract includes the supply of equipment and infrastructure for maintenance.
