Rheinmetall To Supply Lynx Ifvs To Ukraine


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The company announced this on its official website, Ukrinform reports.

The first Lynx KF41 IFVs are expected to be delivered to Ukraine in early 2026. A contract to this effect was signed in December 2025.

The order value for the first five combat vehicles is "in the mid double-digit million euro range," with the systems being financed by Germany.

The decision in favor of the Lynx KF41 was made after extensive testing of the next-generation infantry fighting vehicle. The IFVs will feature the two-man Lance turret and be configured specifically for the Ukraine's Armed Forces.
