Rheinmetall to supply 20 Skyranger 30 air defence systems to protect Belgium’s critical infrastructure

Rheinmetall signed a contract worth several hundred million euros to supply Belgium with 20 Skyranger 30 short-range air defence systems and associated logistics support. Belgium plans to install the 30 mm systems on hooklift platforms for use at fixed positions protecting national territory and critical infrastructure. The equipment will connect to the command and control network of Belgium’s Blue Dome programme, with Belgian technology companies expected to participate in the supply chain. Deliveries are scheduled to begin at the end of 2028, following a procurement process coordinated with the Netherlands.
