German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall announced that it has won an order from the Bundeswehr to supply additional rounds of its innovative 120mm practice ammunition for main battle tanks. 
According to a press release, the contract encompasses 10,715 DM98 cartridges and 10,000 DM88 cartridges. Issued in the second quarter of 2022, the order is worth around €42 million, including value added tax. Delivery began in August and is slated to be completed in October.
The German armed forces first took delivery of the new DM98 120mm practice round at the end of 2017. Developed by Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH, this full-calibre practice round supersedes the earlier DM18 cartridge. Key features of the new round include above-average accuracy at ranges exceeding 2,000 meters as well as good observability during firing thanks to its continuously visible tracer under all daylight conditions.
