What you'll learn
- On 16 June 2025 France’s Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) notified KNDS of a five-year contract worth about €150 million for 40 mm cased telescoped ammunition, the calibre used by the Army’s Jaguar armoured vehicles and the Navy’s RapidFire turrets.
- The ministry’s announcement gave the size of the first order, about 25,000 rounds, but not its composition.
- That came from the manufacturer, which stated that the first annual deliveries would include 18,000 training rounds and that an initial batch of 8,000 combat rounds would complete the order.
