Finland Prepares for Close-Range Armoured Warfare with German RGW 110 Heavy Anti-Tank Weapons

Finland's defence minister has authorised procurement of the RGW110 heavy disposable anti-tank weapon from Germany's Dynamit Nobel Defence in a package worth approximately €84.5 million excluding VAT. The acquisition includes the weapon system, training equipment and operator instruction, with deliveries and training scheduled to begin in 2027. Intended for soldiers engaging armoured vehicles at short range, the system will replace the Finnish Army's ageing APILAS heavy anti-tank weapons and complement other layers of anti-armour fire. The announcement establishes procurement authorisation and its scope without specifying the number of launchers to be purchased.
