Germany and the United Kingdom have signed a joint procurement contract worth 72 million dollars (around 61 million euros) to acquire modern artillery systems on armoured vehicles that can also fire while on the move and hit targets more than 70 kilometres away, media reports showed on Sunday.
According to the British Ministry of Defence, the contract will initially provide the British Army with a demonstrator of the RCH 155 system. In addition, two units are planned for Germany, where they will be deployed for test purposes.
