Rheinmetall to begin Skyranger 30 deliveries to strengthen European air defense capabilities

Rheinmetall’s Skyranger 30 air defense system is revolutionizing mobile air defense in Europe. Designed to counter modern aerial threats, including drones, loitering munitions, cruise missiles, and short-range ballistic missiles, the system integrates advanced technologies like the Oerlikon KCE 30mm automatic cannon, Mistral and Stinger missiles, and the SPEXER 2000M radar.
