Rheinmetall has concluded a contract to supply Belgium with 20 Skyranger 30 anti-aircraft systems, the company said, according to a report published by Mezha on 9 November 2026.
The reported agreement, including logistics support, is worth several hundred million euros. Mezha reported that deliveries are scheduled to begin at the end of 2028; the available source does not specify when deliveries would be completed.
According to Rheinmetall as cited by Mezha, the systems will be installed on hook-lift platforms for static protection of Belgian territory and critical infrastructure. They are also to be fully integrated into the command-and-control architecture of Belgium’s Blue Dome air-defence programme.
The source describes Skyranger 30 as a counter-air system intended to address modern aerial threats, including drones. Rheinmetall says the system has a 30-mm KCE automatic cannon with an effective range of up to 3 km and can use programmable airburst ammunition against small drones. It also reportedly includes radar and electro-optical sensors for all-round surveillance and target tracking, and may be fitted with short-range surface-to-air missiles.
Rheinmetall said it plans to involve Belgian technology companies in production and is prepared to broaden cooperation with local firms on counter-drone systems, including static and deployable solutions. Those statements describe intended cooperation rather than confirmed production allocations, binding local-content commitments or quantified industrial participation.
No independent confirmation, full contract terms or delivery-completion timetable was available in the supplied evidence.
