Rheinmetall has been tasked with supplying Ukraine with 35mm HEI-T (High Explosive Incendiary with Tracer) ammunition for the Gepard air defense platform under a German-funded agreement. The order covers 180,000 rounds intended to counter a range of aerial threats, including unmanned systems. Manufacturing will occur at Rheinmetall’s expanded production site in Unterlüß, northern Germany, which was upgraded in 2023 to meet growing defense demands.
