The two orders are worth a combined total of more than $250 million, the company announced on Tuesday. A new customer country ordered two Skyguard 3 air defence systems, a third-generation system for protecting critical facilities and infrastructure from very short ranges. Each system consists of a Skyguard 3 fire control unit as well as two 35mm Oerlikon Twin Gun GDF009 automatic cannons, Rheinmetall said.

Deliveries will occur through 2021 and follow-on orders are expected in the future from both countries.
