Finland Orders €84.5M in German RGW110 Anti-Tank Weapons Built to Defeat Reactive Armor

Finland authorized an approximately €84.5 million purchase of RGW110 disposable anti-tank weapons from Germany’s Dynamit Nobel Defence to replace its APILAS launchers. The package includes weapons, training equipment and instruction, with deliveries beginning in 2027 and the stated value excluding VAT. The 110 mm system uses a tandem warhead intended to defeat explosive reactive armour before penetrating the underlying protection, addressing the Finnish Army’s close-range anti-tank requirement. The decision followed comparative evaluation and work with the manufacturer on the warhead, with quantities undisclosed and the weapon intended to complement Finland’s existing layered anti-armour systems.
