Belgium Ordered 20 Skyranger 30 Anti-Aircraft Systems from Rheinmetall

Belgium has signed a contract with the German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall to deliver 20 Skyranger 30 anti-aircraft systems to protect the country’s territory and critical infrastructure.

Rheinmetall’s press office reported this.

The contract, which also includes logistical support, is worth several hundred million euros. The air defense systems will be mounted on platforms equipped with a hook-loading system to provide fixed-site air defense.

Deliveries will begin in late 2028. The systems will be integrated into the overall command and control (C2) architecture of Belgium’s Blue Dome air defense program. Local defense industry companies will also be involved in implementing the project.

“The Skyranger 30 will make a decisive contribution to the reliable protection of Belgium’s territory and critical infrastructure,” Roman Kene, CEO of Rheinmetall Air Defense, stated.
