In a statement released on January 12, 2026, the company announced that the first batch is ready for delivery under the contract finalized in December 2025.
The initial batch, financed by the German government, consists of five Lynx KF41 vehicles. Rheinmetall noted that the contract value is in the ‘double-digit million euro’ range and emphasized that deliveries will begin following comprehensive testing and evaluation procedures.
According to company officials, this first shipment represents only the initial phase for Ukraine. The limited initial delivery is expected to pave the way for larger follow-up orders and potentially long-term local production partnerships. As a result, the Lynx platform is anticipated to play a central role in the modernization of Ukraine’s mechanized forces.
The KF41 configuration destined for Ukraine has been specifically tailored to meet the country’s operational requirements. The vehicles are equipped with a LANCE 2 turret, a 30 mm automatic cannon, optional anti-tank guided missiles, stabilized firing capability, advanced day-and-night sensors, and modern digital battlefield network integration. These features make the Lynx KF41 an effective platform for operations in diverse weather conditions, high-threat environments, and long-range missions.
