Abstract

The article focuses on Germany's plan to purchase up to 500 RCH 155 self-propelled howitzers as part of a significant €52 billion ($60.5 billion) defense spending initiative aimed for completion before Christmas. The delivery of these 155mm gun platforms is scheduled between 2028 and 2034, with initial orders valued at €3.4 billion. The RCH 155s, produced by Artec GmbH, are intended to enhance Germany's artillery capabilities, which currently include about 250 systems. The defense package also includes substantial investments in military gear, Puma infantry fighting vehicles, and Arrow 3 air-defense interceptor missiles. [Extracted from the article]
