The customer was the American company Global Military Products, and 155 mm M107 shells with M4A2 metal charges and 105 mm M1 are designed for an unnamed country in Eastern Europe, according to Rheinmetall.

Of the order of the order, 170 million euros have already been reserved as a preliminary order, which means that 274 million euros of new orders have also been reserved. The supply is scheduled for 2026, and the completion - for June 2027. According to "militaristic", Ukraine already uses 155 mm M107 shells as one of the basic ammunition for 155 mm of artillery. 105 mm M1 projectiles are intended for use with 105 mm Artisystems M119A3, which supplied Ukraine from the United States.

In particular, they will also make shells for Ukraine.
